“Then took the quilt out of its linen wrapper for the pleasure of the brilliant colors and the feel of the velvet. The needlework was very fine and regular. Adair hated needlework and she could not imagine sitting and stitching the fine crow’s-foot seams.
Writing was the same, the pinching of thoughts into marks on paper and trying to keep your cursive legible, trying to think of the next thing to say and then behind you on several sheets of paper you find you have left permanent tracks, a trail, upon which anybody could follow you. Stalking you through your deep woods of private thought.

“A crown of seashells and coral graced her head, a reminder of her SeaForest family line, and pearls peeped from her dark hair. His mother was every inch the High Queen. And he was tasked with finding a human maiden to step into her shoes.
Her gown was blue, embroidered in green thread with starfish, shellfish, creatures of the shallows. On her sleeves, needlework otters peeped between kelp fronds. Selkies swam along the gown’s helm in their seal forms and climbed from the foam as long-legged women at her bodice, where white waves of sea silk bloomed.
One could all but hear the hoarse call of gulls.”
