The narrative revolves around the character Myrna Wagner and her tumultuous relationship with Ansel Howard. Myrna is deeply in love with Ansel, to the extent that she has sacrificed much of her personal life and ambitions for him. Their relationship is marked by a cycle of breakups and reconciliations, often initiated by Ansel's actions and then quickly mended due to Myrna's deep affection.
A significant turning point occurs when Ansel brings a new love interest to Gavin's birthday party, an event where Myrna is also present. Despite the initial shock and pain, Myrna manages to maintain composure outwardly. The final straw seems to be Ansel's public display of affection towards his new partner right before everyone at the party. This incident prompts Myrna to realize the futility of her long-held hopes for a meaningful relationship with Ansel and to finally decide on a clean break.
Following the breakup, Myrna begins to reclaim her independence. She cashes a substantial check left behind by Ansel, amounting to 50 million, and deposits large sums into various banks, securing her financial future. She changes her appearance, cutting her hair short and dyeing it black, symbolizing a departure from the image she maintained for Ansel. Myrna also starts to reconnect with parts of her past she had let go of, such as visiting her former professor, Sarah Thoreau, who was disappointed when Myrna abandoned her academic pursuits for Ansel.
Meanwhile, Ansel struggles to adjust to Myrna's absence. He experiences moments of vulnerability, particularly when he cannot find the medicine Myrna used to prepare for him after nights of heavy drinking. His attempts to move on with new relationships seem hollow, and he finds himself unable to replicate the comfort and care Myrna provided. Ansel's frustration grows as he realizes Myrna might not return this time, leading to erratic behavior, including confrontational encounters with Myrna in public settings.
Ultimately, Myrna makes a decisive move towards independence by renting a modest apartment near her old university, symbolizing her intent to rebuild her life and possibly reengage with her academic career. Her friend Joanna supports this decision, acknowledging that Myrna deserves more than the unfulfilling role she played in her relationship with Ansel. The story concludes with Myrna preparing to repaint her new home, marking a fresh start away from her past life with Ansel.
