Fall term break at UC Santa Cruz finds Jane and Nate awfully happy together as they head for the madrone at Four Mile. Afterwards, Jane drives Nate’s MG north on the Pacific Coast Highway to her family’s home in Corte Madera, where they talk about their plan for a camping trip vacation to Yosemite. Their happiness seems to flow throughout the household, producing a quite unexpected conversation – and outcome – between Nate and Jane’s father, Will Chandler.
