I've just asked her, and she says it's because with more dots she wants the reader to think longer. As in: "She disappeared with John for two hours the night of the party... Not that I'm going to ask her what happened, you know..." is different from: "She disappeared with John for two hours the night of the party............... Not that I'm going to ask her what happened, you know................." Can you see any difference?
