And she couldn’t help but think the people of Iswixel might tell other towns that the airship had been stolen.īut she was a skipper! Now she just had to act like one. And there just weren’t enough of them to run the Hourglass. And yeah, they hadn’t resupplied in Iswixel, so they had two days of fresh water before they ran out. Sure, the skipper and the crew were dead. Becca was down below, repairing some of the myst-shot holes in the hull. Rosie’s exhaustion was palpable, but she soldiered on.

Her parents are devastated being gay may as well be a death sentence in the Bengali community. ![]() ![]() ![]() Luckily, only a few more months stand between her carefully monitored life in Seattle and her new life at Caltech, where she can pursue her dream of becoming an engineer.īut when her parents catch her kissing her girlfriend Ariana, all of Rukhsana’s plans fall apart.
