When Life Gives You Lululemons

Karolina spends the next few days lying in bed, watching television, and ruminating on her situation. One day, she wakes up to Graham being interviewed on the Anderson Cooper show. Graham voluntarily turns the conversation to Karolina’s DUI, insisting she “is very ill” and he can’t be with her anymore. A shocked Karolina moves numbly around her space. She googles Regan Whitney and compares herself to her. When she realizes she has her period, Karolina heads to the store in sweatpants for tampons. She runs into Miriam, who defends her when a local woman berates her for endangering innocent children.

Miriam takes Karolina back to her place and insists she spend the night. Curled up in the guest room, Karolina laments her lost life. She misses Harry. His mother died when he was a baby, and she has been his mother since he was two. She misses the life and marriage she once had with Graham, too. Overcome by sorrow, she calls Graham and leaves a message, begging him to make amends. She wakes up later to a text from him saying she is a danger to Harry, and they can no longer be together.
