A Choice of Accommodations

The title for Lahiri's third short story A Choice of Accommodations, speaks to the relationship of Megan and Amit.  It appears at first that the marriage between the two is is no longer bounded by love.  At the wedding, Megan Flirts with Ted, and Amit still withholds feelings for the bride herself.  However, as the story progresses, it is clear that the distance between the two is merely "a choice of accommodations."  They still love each other, just not in an all-consuming fashion.  Megan and Amit instead "accommodate" each other's needs while maintaining a comfortable bond between each other.
