He digs a new privy and clears the well, because every night brings him back to his cell with its bucket and dirty straw and the stench of unwashed bodies.

At last, he turns to the garden.

Overgrown. But dark, rich soil to grow enough for both of them--food, herbs for her trade, and flowers to make it their own.

And maybe, one day, it will be home.
