"Cool shadows wash over my sweaty skin, welcoming me, disguising me. I could revel in the darkness—happily lie under the stars and let the night air unravel my knotted, overworked muscles—but I won't waste tonight on rest or fleeting pleasure. These are the hours of spies and thieves. They're my hours. I slide two hairpins into the lock, my chapped fingers dancing over them like the strings of a viola. This is a song I've rehearsed a thousand times, a hymn I've played in my most desperate moments. Better to pray to deft fingers, to shadows and camouflage, than to the old gods. Better to steal than to starve." hg -These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan
