Perched on Goldie Thorne's back, Tang Xiaonan was thrilled. She finally got to go on a long trip! The cool wind felt wonderful on her face. It was still chilly on this June morning, even more so at the foot of the mountain. Tang Xiaonan was wearing a light jacket over a blue and red plaid jumper dress with a white shirt, and she even had on her red leather shoes.
The dress and shoes had been bought in Tristone by a friend of Lana Steiner's. They were said to be the most fashionable style in Tristone right now. Phoebe Huxley usually couldn't bear to let Tang Xiaonan wear them, only bringing them out for special trips. She was afraid Tang Xiaonan would look too provincial in Tristone and be looked down on, so she had packed all her best clothes.
"Where'd your third brother go?"
