Violet had been leaving early and returning late lately. Even before the sun was up, there would be no sign of her. Yet, without fail, she would return to Skye Embroidery for an hour

or so.

The workshop had gained a new addition recently–Eliza Carter, a woman cast out of her home. Her brother had offered to take her back in, but her sister–in–law disagreed. Not wanting to cause trouble for her brother, Eliza had instead chosen to come to the workshop.
