[stylist] CK Gratitude prompt response

[Aine Kelly-Costello]

Oh only that in the two sentences the first mentioned West then 
East and the second mentions homeward then non-homeward; so just 
in the order that was all :)

I am confused by your comparison.  The West and home are two 
different
directions.  I do not think Chris gave anything away here, but I 
guess I am
not sure what you are trying to point out.  Eve

 Aha, I like that she decided to go home.  That's what I thought 
she would
 do.  But then I thought perhaps the order of the mention of West 
and East
 mattered ...:

 "as she exited the parking lot and approached the highway, she 
saw the
 sign for I-70 West to the right, and I-70 East to the left.  A 
home and a
 thousand miles of pavement one way; a clean slate and boundless 
uncertainty
 two thousand miles the other direction." Do you see what I mean? 
The west
 is mentioned first and the home is also mentioned first? That's 
really
 minor and you may have already noticed, but I guess pointing it 
out can do
 no harm :)

 Thanks to those who took the time to read and comment on my 
writing.

 Aine, Emily actually chose the homeward path.  You'd have to 
know a bit of
 US
 geography, as I didn't make it clear, but the sun rises in the 
east, and
 that's the direction of Maine.  I also don't make character 
maps/sketches
 for
 short stories, but instead imagine the characters as I write 
them and see
 where they go.  When I started the story, I was going to have 
Emily go to
 California, but then it seemed right to have her go back home.

 Atty, I very much appreciate your words of praise and support.

 Vejas, I can't really say why Patrick did what he did.  I know 
that about
 50%
 of marriages end in divorce, and both men and women too often 
stray.  Just
 look at the news lately, and how General Ppetraeus, a seemingly 
impeccably
 honorable man, had an affair with his biographer.  
Unfortunately, it
 happens.
 Thanks for your kind words about my story.

 Eve, I sent you the story as a word attachment and I hope you 
can read
 that.

 chris
