Dreams

At the Capital,

"Young miss."

The call from a maid startled Hallie. She was too engrossed in sketching that she failed to notice when the maid walked in. She hurriedly tried to cover up her drawing but the maid had already seen her designs.

Her eyes danced with excitement when she saw the sketches. Worry clouded Hallie's eyes as she quickly hid her sketchbook.

This was supposed to be her little secret and her way of escape and now she had unknowingly given herself out.

The maid politely asked, "Young miss, those are…?"

Her question made Hallie panicky, "None of your business."

Her aggressiveness stunned the maid because she had never seen her like this before.

Well, it could not be helped, it was her lifeline and those of her kids.

Her dream was actually fashion designing but her father had felt it was not worth anything so he refused to send her to a fashion designing school.
