So did I!!! I'm thinking that was some kind of sign to the outside world; I bet she doesn't even smoke!
I have been thinking about it all night. Maybe it's a signal to her superiors that things are not hunky dory and they need to start bombing pronto. If she's not a smoker, however, she'd be coughing all over the place and her parents would mention it to the papers that it was odd she was smoking and then her captors might get suspicious it was all a secret message. And then finally, she probably is a smoker and was a nervous wreck and they gave her a cigarette. Whatever the case, I pray she gets home to her little baby soon.
That's what I was wondering...
I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe when they showed that letter to home there was something not right in the letter! At least I hope so.
