Within days they meet local wildlife biologist, Chet Boone. This is what happens after the three of them share pizza and a song together:
*
“You’re
humming that Brown Eyed Girl song aren’t you?” Nick asked.
“Hmm.
So I was. It’s an old song from way back. I’ve always liked it.” She pulled
into the carport and engaged the Jeep’s parking brake. The pine trees were
fragrant. Several branches touched the metal roof of the carport. They made a
shushing sound when the wind blew. It also sent their tangy green fragrance
into the Jeep’s open windows. “We may regret not having a garage when it snows
this winter,” she said.
“I
think he likes you,” Nick replied.
Ella
stopped with her finger on the automatic window button. The windows stopped
halfway up. “Chet Boone?”
Nick
rolled his eyes. “No. The Incredible Hulk.”

I loved Lilac Lane when I was able to finish it -- the writing is superb, but some of the conflict the characters were dealing with were MUCH too close to my own personal conflicts to finish when I first started reading -- and suffice it to say the day COPPER LAKE releases, I am getting a copy!! I HAVE to see what happens next!!!!
Thanks, Sara. Oddly enough, I heard that same comment from at least two other women. I hate that it's so realistic, and I love that it's so realistic because I know how it ends. =)
