What happens to tea cake in their eyes were watching god?

In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie says Tea Cake is a glance from God because he is, as far as she is concerned, proof that God's eyes are watching hers back. Janie's relationship with Tea Cake is complicated, certainly, but at least at the beginning, he is a blessing. He is a gift from God--again, proof that God acknowledges and approves that the characters watch Him. Notice I didn't say "know Him well" or even "like" Him. But they do watch to see what He will do next in the sense that they watch their lives unfold. Janie sees Tea Cake as possibly being the partner God has given her as she moves "to the horizon" of her life.
