CHAPTER 12Karla thought she recognised the little car that drove into the back yard, mid-morning the following day. Ryan had left to help Clive on the farm and she was about to go over to the school to sort out the boxes of gear that had been brought back from the hall.
She smiled when she recognised the woman who stepped out of the vehicle. Of course, that's whose car it was. The visitor was Chrissy from Tui Park!
"Hi Chrissy," she called as she dashed across the driveway. "It's great to see you!"
Chrissy stood beside the car and waited.
As Karla got closer she saw that the normally happy girl who stood there in a summer tank top and shorts looked quite distressed. She stopped before her and held out both hands. "What's wrong, Chrissy?" she asked.
"Oh Karla," the young woman sobbed.
