If she was a conservationist then she NEVER, under ANY circumstances would have planted NON-NATIVE species on an island she was trying to CONSERVE! Island ecosystems are notoriously sensitive and a non-native species could easily put compete a native species and become an invasive or nuisance species not just on this island but others. I know the author writes STEM romance, and the main character is a physicist but she’s obviously not an ecologist so let’s stick to science that the FMC is familiar with.

“The love, born of beauty was not mine; I had nothing in common with it: I could not dare to meddle with it, but another love, venturing diffidently into life after long acquaintance, furnace-tried by pain, stamped by constancy, consolidated by affection’s pure and durable alloy, submitted by intellect to intellect’s own tests, and finally wrought up, by his own process, to his own unflawed completeness, this Love that laughed at Passion, his fast frenzies and his hot and hurried extinction, in this Love I had a vested interest; and whatever tended either to its culture or its destruction, I could not view impassibly.”

“She prized the frank, the open-hearted, the eager character beyond all others. Warmth and enthusiasm did captivate her still. She felt that she could so much more depend upon the sincerity of those who sometimes looked or said a careless or a hasty thing, than of those whose presence of mind never varied, whose tongue never slipped.”
