Christopher met Pilar in his last year as a nurse while working long hours at her mother's hopice bed. Immediately taken with the lonely but spunky lesbian teenager, he decided that introducing her to his husbands novels (featuring a plucky sapphic detective) might help distract her from the tragedy surrounding her. With the loss of her last family member, Pilar's future remains uncertain. She hopes she can be as brave as the detectives she's come to love in Benson's books. #bumpkinwillowcreek
