\f0\fs24 At Emma's pool party, Lizzie\u8212?ordinarily bookless and reluctant\u8212?is deliberately positioned by Hannah Eliot and introduced to Will Fontaine, a sun-blonde, blue-eyed boy whose presence triggers Lizzie's first-ever involuntary romantic awareness; their immediate, unguarded argument about Tom Bombadil and the Council of Elrond reveals a rare intellectual compatibility that dissolves her anxiety, leaving them mid-debate beside the pool, the prior version of Lizzie\u8212?defined by detachment and her book\u8212?quietly retired, and the nature of their connection still unresolved but clearly begun.
