Carolyn Russell returns from Boston by bus.
WA: At this hour of the night, at this time of the winter, the bus
ride from Boston to Peyton Place takes slightly more than two
hours. Time enough for Carolyn Russell to make a decision. A
decision which will change the course of her life and touch the
lives of all those close to her. The first person to be
informed of this decision to be given the chance to share her
determination is not her mother, Marsha. It is a close friend
[Patricia Anne Cheney] of Carolyn's age, an absolutely critical
factor in Carolyn's point of view.

And that is an impossible choice.
