"Matt turned back, crossing another
path onto the lawn. As they hiked beneath a series of large oak trees, he
looked ahead and began to understand where Lane might be leading them. He could
see the flowers and battery powered candles and notes and photographs set on
the grass before the tree on the very end. It was a memorial, sacred
ground—someone had died here.
Lane slowed to a stop as they reached
the tree, and Matt followed his gaze to a photograph stapled to the bark.
It was a young woman, a brunette with
bangs and gray eyes ... She had a certain way about her, a certain look that
vaguely reminded him of a friend’s younger sister back in Jersey. Maybe it was
her bangs, or just the clean feel of her smile the moment the shot was snapped."
