Okay, i've been meaning to ask someone this for a long time.

In 5.12, Lindsey realized that Peyton was the comet in which Lucas wrote about in his book. In the flashback during the ceremony we find out that she realized it by looking at Peyton's car. But i never understood why she waited all the way until she was on the alter with Lucas to say anything. I know it was supposed to be "OH I GET IT NOW" but how long can it take her to connect the name of Peyton's car, "COMET" to the comet in the book?? I guess it was supposed to be a sudden realization about the first time they met, but when she first saw the car, didn't she have suspicions? cuz when she is walking up the aisle she doesn't look worried or sad or anything. She never appeared daft or dull to me--SHE IS AN EDITOR, so how could it take her that long to connect the dots? It doesn't make sense to me.

Yes, they were trying to create drama, but i never understood it fully lol. If you have a better explanation than "it was good drama" or "it took her a while to realize that it was the first time Leyton met" than please let me know =) cuz it doesn't make sense that it would take her that long to figure out that the COMET on the car was the comet in Luke's story and the comet in his heart as well.
