Chapter 73

Mara's POV

My room stopped moving beneath the infirmary. I knew because I could hear Clara crying through a ventilation shaft above my head. She sounded furious, which was comforting until I remembered how quickly a child born early could exhaust herself.

I found a loose stone near the bench and worked it free with the heel of my boot. The space behind it was too narrow to climb through. It carried sound. Vivian's voice traveled down, urging Clara to finish feeding, followed by Maeve's unmistakable warning that neither mother nor baby needed an audience. Someone had opened a passage for her supplies. Caldor had listened to that much.

I rapped the stone three times. Vivian stopped speaking. I told her where I was. She brought Clara near the shaft long enough for me to hear her breathe.
