Authors Content Note: "Love in the Great Pine Woods" is a mature love story with dramatic themes of love and relationships. It will mostly be at the PG and PG-13 movie levels. Specific chapters or passages may have a further rating of: L for language, D for dramatic emotions, and S for sensual themes. And I will rate the chapters accordingly. If you are unable or unwilling to attend a movie with the ratings that I provide for a chapter, then please do not read that chapter. This is my disclaimer. And as is my habit, I will summarize the previous chapter's events at the beginning of the next chapter.

Authors Recap from the Previous Chapter: Olivia Wakeforest is delighted with her baby's nursery room designer Lillian Warren. There is just one problem—that Lillian did not realize until the very end of their consultation, already after she agreed to take on the Wakeforest project. The problem is that Olivia's husband Sam had once been involved with Lillian "Lola". And revealing that connection will prove to be very awkward.

"Love in the Great Pine Woods", Ch. 29 (PG-13, D): Lola Revealed

After realizing that her new interior design client is Olivia Delaney Wakeforest—her long ago former lover Sam Wakeforest's new wife—Lillian "Lola" Campbell Warren is beside herself with worry the more she thinks about it. So later in the day—long after Olivia Wakeforest and Tessa Delaney leave Warren Furniture Store--Lillian changes and puts on her power leather jacket and walks downstairs to her husband David Warren in his furniture making shop in the back of their Warren Furniture Store building to talk it over with him. They have always been honest with each other and David knows that his wife Lillian had a former relationship before they met and married three years ago—as did he.

But he is also wearing a face helmut shield to protect his face and eyes as he moves a long piece of wood around a metal ribbon cutting fine detailing scrollwork for a Regency period desk apron. So she doesn't want to distract him--lest he might be injured. After a few moments, David spies his wife out of the corner of his eye and he shuts down the band saw, and closes the safety covering over the saw blade, even as he lifts up his clear safety face helmut and removes it, his leather apron, and his work gloves.

David: "Darling! What brings you down here to my workshop?" He smiles broadly and lovingly at his beloved wife, opening his arms wide and she walks over to him and they embrace.

Lillian Warren: "I have a problem with a design client that I need to talk over with you, Sweetheart." Lillian lowers her eyes and focuses her attention upon the base of his throat, which she strokes absentmindedly. The more she has thought about it—Sam Wakeforest—the more unsettled she has become.

David Warren: Walking her over to his drafting desk, he sits down at his desk chair and brings her to sit across his lap.

David Warren: "Tell me all about it."
