Stitched Lines, Watching Eyes — Meyari McFarland

Noga bent over her stitching, neck aching in fear of Gul Maes' heavy cane coming down on her. Seven days until Mistress Kelly was married off to Gul Maes' brute of a son. Noga kept her head down. Wasn't safe to challenge someone like Gul Maes. But with the prayers and dreams of the rest of the keep Noga might be able to stitch together hope that would save them all from Gul Maes' watching eyes.
