How I Met My Husband~ Question # 2

Suspense is generated throughout this story in distinct and important moments. The first real moment of suspense is when Eddie is caught in her employer's  dress, and thoughts of fear and embarrassment race through her head. The next moment is the arrival of Mrs. Bird and Alice, an unexpected twist. Then, the suspense builds during the scene between Edie and Chris, leading up to his departure. The final moment of suspense is then when Alice out-rightly attacks Edie because of her belief that she has been intimate with Chris. Although it appears that the actual meeting of her husband ought to hold some form of suspense or importance, it is left as falling action and rather unimportant to the story overall. The suspense throughout the story tends to be when Edie faces a new or uncomfortable situation to which she knows not how to respond. These moments give the story most of its 'flesh' and help to keep the attention of the reader as well as to guide the story as a whole.
