Charlotte And the Starlet 2
“'I'll miss you, Dad.' 'I'll miss you too. Promise you'll study hard.' Unlike the previous time she'd been at Thornton Downs, this was not vacation time. Charlotte was going to have to attend school classes as well as all her equestrian lessons.
'Of course.' Charlotte didn't mind schoolwork. She just didn't like it anywhere near as much as riding a horse. In the lee of a mountain range and a thousand kilometres to the south, Thornton Downs was much cooler and greener than Snake Hills. Dusk was t...rying its best to settle but the bright headlights of the convoy of expensive European sedans arriving to deposit the other JOES wouldn't let it. Charlotte gave her dad one final squeeze.
'Keep writing to me.' Being a stockman who spent weeks at a time droving cattle in the outback, her dad found the world of the internet and email totally foreign. He preferred pen and paper.
'Course I will.' One final wave and he was gone. Charlotte stared after him, sadness welling. Leila's muzzle pushed into her cheek.MoreLess
