This didn't spoil anything. You know she married someone else after the first 2 pages.

wow, answerers claiming spoilers really didn't pay attention to the first two pages of the book 😂 you literally know her husband is named Val before you know who Tinker even IS.

(spoiler) No. She says after spending her last night with him, going back and finding him gone: Some of you will think this a romantic thing to have done. But at another level, the reason I went back for Tinker's things was to assuage a sense of guilt. For when I ad walked in the room and found it empty, even as I was fending off a sense of loss, a slender, vigorous part of myself was feeling a sense of relief." The intense romantic love had run it's course. This chapter depicted the closure of it - which actually enabled the long term love and memories that she revisits in the last pages of the book. Who, besides myself, has not felt that kind guilty sense of relief (and sadness) when both persons, at nearly the same time, realize a relationship is over?

Knowing she had a husband wan't an issue for me. I was more impressed that she was a strong and secure woman who wasn't hunting for a rich husband the whole time. I loved it when the story was about her and her friends hanging fun.

Unfortunately the question contains spoilers. I was half-way thru and wish I hadn't seen this question.
