“She sat on her knees with her head pressed against the window. The glass cooled her hot face and hands and she was able to put her thoughts together.
“Well, the school term’s over,” she said. Her lips moved against the window but her voice made barely a sound. “We’ll spend the whole summer on the farm with Uncle Ross.
