What's your favourite scene in your book? My favourite scene is near the beginning of Chapter 11. It's a small scene between Lizzy and Booker, but it really shows how close they are, and how well they know one another. It wasn't until Booker slung an arm around her shoulder and placed a mug of coffee in front of her as he slid into the seat beside her that Lizzy started to come awake and realise that she'd quietly followed her new room mate into what looked like a large dining room. "Drink," Booker insisted beside her, and the amusement in his voice had her jabbing his side with an elbow instinctively, even as her hands curled around the mug, dragging it across the long wooden table she was sitting at to gulp down the warm drink in half a dozen mouthfuls. "If you're planning on dragging her to breakfast without giving her at least an hour to wake up, you're going to need to provide coffee," she could hear Booker saying, "milk with two teaspoons of honey... or some other kind of sweetener." "Why are you such an insufferable morning person?" Lizzy grumbled and Booker laughed. "It's not morning, Lizzy, it's late afternoon at best." "We just woke up, that makes it morning." "Why does the school run at night?" he asked, and Lizzy glanced up to find his attention focussed on Cara, the young woman sitting opposite them and watching them both with a blush on her cheeks and an expression of surprise on her soft features. "Cara," she blurted out, "I'm Cara." "Booker." Lizzy watched her friend introduce himself, and when his features curled into a slow smile she rolled her eyes and elbowed him in the ribs again. "Is there any more coffee?" she interrupted, and he calmly pushed over a second mug from it's position in front of him.
