"'I'm going to write you a letter. I am going to tell you where I am and maybe you can come visit me.'" (145)
From the title, suspense is built because the reader knows the basic structure of the story from the start. The reader will now constantly be on the look out for prospective husbands. And, whenever a man comes into the story, that question immediately arrises, and adds suspense. Is this the father. Even after she meets Chris, I still looked for other matches. This was mostly based on the TV show, because Ted goes through so many potential mothers, with no luck several seasons in. But, even though this thought was running through my head as I was reading the story, I had no idea it would be the mail man, because I was to busy feeling sorry for eddie that she was never going to get he letter. So, all of this pent up suspense, just kind off abruptly stopped in just a few short sentences.
