As an aside, my supervisor for my summer job decided to go in a unique direction after her divorce. Rather than reclaim her maiden name, she chose a last name that, when combined with her first name, is pronounced the same as a well-known mountain range in the US (though her first name is spelled differently, it's pronounced the same as the first part of the range).

If she was an older lady, she could be Gran Tetons.

Given Faye's large step today, she should be named Alps.
Because the Lord Alps those who Alp themselves.

Best thing for Faye is moving to new york with Angus. Not so much for the sake of love, but for the sake of moving forward with her life.(I'd say there's love there, but not like 'It's destiny! One true love!' love, which isn't to say they couldn't live their lives together happily)

Of course, NOW it's not so simple as just calling him up. Now she's got shit to work out. Hopefully he'll still be there when she does.

I disagree that the best thing for Faye would be moving to New York with Angus, for a couple of reasons.

-Faye genuinely enjoyes her life and her friends in NoHo, she's comfortable there, she had stability, and she seems to genuinely like living in that area.

-Faye has said repeatedly that she doesn't like cities. Why would she want to move to an area she doesn't like?

-Even before Angus had the callback, Faye had doubts about the strength of their relationship ( I tried to find the comic, but my archive fu isn't up to par, apparently) I think Faye likes Angus, and probably appreciates an easy way to satisfy her libido, but I don't really think they have much in common in terms of goals, preferences, or interests. Basically I'm saying that moving to another city for a boyfriend that you aren't certain about is a bad idea.

-Faye has tried the whole "pack up your life and move somewhere completely new" thing before. It didn't help her with her issues, and I don't see why following Angus to New York would have.

BenRG:
@TRVA123,

Agreed. I think that the opportunity was lost when the 'Where do you see yourself in a year's time?' conversation got side-tracked. Faye should then have told Angus that she saw herself in Northampton; not necessarily doing the exactly the same things or being in exactly the same place but, nonetheless, in Northampton. Why? Because it's her home and there are people there who are her family. She's happy there and that is something that can't be easily cast aside, even if she is falling for Angus.

Angus told Faye explicitly on at least one occasion that Northampton was just a stop on the way to greater things for him. That should have been Faye's sign to back off because that was the difference and barrier that could never have been crossed.

Of course, hindsight is 20/20, isn't it? I think that Angus was the most exciting and emotionally intense thing that had happened to Faye in a long time and, because she's human, she couldn't just walk away so long as she could fool herself that the problems and conflicts in the future could be put off forever.

It's sad, but it happens RL relationships too.

TRVA123:
I hate that Faye is characterizing her reluctance to drop everything and move to NY with Angus as cowardice. Idk, maybe a part of that is fear of change.

But I never thought Faye was afraid of change, I mean, she dropped her previous life in the south to go to NoHo. I think she is afraid of abandonment. Angus was obviously aware of this, and he did absolutely everything possible to reassure her.

I wish Faye had looked back at the situation and realized that it was a step forward for her. She realized that she would rather be "abandoned" by a lover than go with him and sacrifice her life in NoHo. She may still have issues with abandonment, but they aren't crippling, and she isn't so afraid of losing her lover that she would give up what she wants to keep him.
