Summary
Analysis
Sephy had lied to Mother about the trip to Celebration Park; she told Mother she was spending the day with a rich Cross friend. The day at the park with Callum was so fun. The train journey was the only bad part.
Sephy’s intro to the outing highlights again that she’s been having to sneak around with Callum for some time. Their friendship hasn’t been a public one since Mrs. Hadley fired Meggie.
