I don't understand how it is odd. She thought that his initial behaviour was passive aggressive, and didn't feel happy about it... then he does something which fits far more firmly in the category of passive aggressive than the original behaviour, destoying any chance to mend the original conflict. How to you expect her to react?
Is it cold in here?:
By emptying a container of milk over Padma?

Padma's safely out of milksreach, so she has to settle for the whipping boy.

My point was more in the vein of, 'explaining that wouldn't help and in fact would be likely counterproductive"

--- Quote from: haikupoet on 12 Jan 2012, 21:55 ---Whether she had a good reason or not, that had to have been one long, sad ride down the Mass Pike. Wouldn't be surprised if she was bawling by the time she got to the Ted Williams Tunnel.

You're assuming she actually cared enough to spare him more than a second thought. I imagine Marten was forgotten before she was out of the driveway.

If anything, she's almost certainly devastated. For all we know, the departure was not quite a done deal and she only purchased the ticket at the last minute. Or maybe she was calling his bluff.
There is one possibility that now occurs to me: she hasn't left town. She is truly devastated and ANGRY. Marten will run into her and she will tear into him. There will be tears and rage. What there will not be is a reconciliation. Marten will realize he jumped the gun and will wind up miserable for weeks. Why might this happen? Because life is messy and we don't always get to wrap up our loose ends, and sometimes, when we do get them wrapped up, we realize they may have been better left untied.

She said she was leaving and had been packing before Marten had said anything. Had she said she was leaving after Marten started talking, you might have an argument. It's a lot of work to pack up your life and move across country. Not something that can really be done spur-of-the-moment, so she must've been doing it for that entire week.
Not leaving town would be pretty much more effort into this than Padma seems capable of, to me. Considering she used the grandmother excuse before they had their sexy times and everyone else knew she was leaving.
No matter what, Marten will end up miserable. Whether through his own action or from Faye/Dora making him miserable for being an ass. A justified ass, but an ass nonetheless.
