————
Weeks blended into months. Days passed unnoticed, and hours slipped away like seconds. When she was not walking the smooth stone cobblestones outside the Gallows, weeping and begging for anyone to let her see her precious Ellendre, she was here. At home. In the soft rocking chair of her children’s nursery, Ellendre’s favorite doll sat limply in her lap. Dispirited, lifeless. When her energy ran out, her family would usher her home and corral her here. Until what little life she could muster drove her back to the streets. Losing Ellendre was too much. The one joy in her life.
