Chapitre 144: Chapter 144: Dreams

The last sun of the summer season baked down on her as she walked home from school. She'd have loved to go with the other girls to Cynthia's place, but her father didn't want her socialising during the week. She knew her friend Joyce would've rebelled against such strict rules, especially since they weren't in junior school anymore. Carin would be downright scathing. Maeve shivered and clenched the handle of her satchel. Their fathers didn't believe in the kind of discipline hers did. Sometimes she thought if she wasn't such a good cook, he'd have no use for her.

Among the designs she did when her father thought she'd gone to sleep was one for a hovercraft. She'd adjusted many of the existing features to make it more aero dynamic.
