By seemingly making no choices, she was clearing the path for one big choice down the line, when opportunity would allow for a great shift in circumstance that would change her life forever. The only reasonable goal in the life of any modern girl was to be prepared to leave at a moment's notice. To be swept off one's feet, exhilarated, plucked from her measly surroundings... In contrast was her mother, a woman who has wanted many things earnestly in her youth: beauty, glamour, fame, love, and had followed each desire as it led her down an ever-narrowing tunnel until the only way out had been to marry Christopher, a dull fat man who once ordered steak tartare well-done.
