FINALE
ONE HOT AFTERNOON
In summer, Bonnie and Sam always ended the school week with a popsicle at the milk bar.
They loved reading the posters in the window. It was the town noticeboard. If you had guinea pigs to spare or a computer to sell, that’s where you’d advertise.

They whizzed around barrels and poles so fast that Tricky’s black-and-white patches blurred together. But apart from games, Michael ignored Tricky completely. His mother was so sick of nagging him to care for his horse that when Bonnie and Sam offered to do it she quickly said yes.
Michael doesn’t even like you,
Bonnie whispered as Tricky rubbed his head against her back. He just uses you like a motorbike.
Sam turned on the tap to
