I'll admit, I could have skipped this tale. It's about a relationship that has been on hiatus for roughly 6 months. This is after dating for years: think high school, college, and beyond. Carrie has moved to D.C. because Austin won't compromise. Austin can't understand why Carrie would like to have her own hopes and dreams fulfilled working in a prestigious museum rather than a small tourist trap in West Virginia. Silly man, the answer is Duh. What girl doesn't want all her dreams to come true...even those that don't include a man.What bothered me was that in the end, I don't think Austin got it. He openly hated Carrie's job and spent the majority of the novella waiting for her to come to her senses and come home. While the do eventually reconcile and "compromise" it's not in any way I see working in the long run. I wondered if maybe Carrie should have given the big city boys a chance...because Austin's not giving up anything for her dream.
