Commentary
- Grace has a few friends (Scene from Layers in which she greets a lot of off-panel people)
- Walk from the parking garage
- Just going to Tedd's house is suspicious
Recent rewriting was afoot, as evident by the lack of a Friday page last week. There was a big missing piece to the bigger puzzle that was missing until recently, and I finally figured it out.
I can't say what it was, and I can't point it out when it comes up, but it'll be important, and I'll be able to say much, much later what it was.
(Note to self: Say what it was much, much later.)
An Offer Not Given
One of the impulses I resisted while writing (and re-writing) this was providing an explanation for why Rhoda and Diane, who parked closer to the pancake place, didn't give Grace and Tedd a ride to the parking garage. This was a worthwhile impulse to resist, as it is SUCH a minor detail that wouldn't actually go anywhere important.
Nonetheless, I can give excuses:
They're all distracted, and none of them thought of it.
The other lot IS closer than the garage, but not so close that it's worth giving Grace and Tedd a lift.
A walk will do Grace some good after all the pancakes she presumably ate.
Rhoda and Diane wanted to discuss how the lunch went and that kept them specifically from considering the option.
A shiny object distracted the lot of them. Grace barely managed to look away from it. Rhoda is still chasing after it as of this page.
