Charlie spends every summer holidays at a country town where her Grandparents own a shop. Her dad is always sad because C’s mother died & he is more so as the grandmother has recently died. C is sick of being ignored (emotionally) by him. Rose lives in the town, has just won a scholarship to a city college and needs to escape. She sees sad, quiet, morose C as the perfect escape but not if Rose’s best friend Dave (who has fallen in love with C) has anything to do with it – he won’t let R use C, and soon R sees that C is worth something.p.81-85Dave & his Mum meet C walking to get an Xmas tree because her Dad & Granpa forgot
