the prayer

"She turned her face up to the sky and closed her eyes. She could feel the snow on her lashes,
taste it on her lips. It was the taste of Winterfell. The taste of innocence. The taste of dreams.
When Sansa opened her eyes again, she was on her knees. She did not remember falling.
It seemed to her that the sky was a lighter shade of grey. Dawn, she thought. Another day.
Another new day. It was the old days she hungered for. Prayed for. But who could she pray to?
The garden had been meant for a godswood once, she knew, but the soil was too thin and stony
for a weirwood to take root. A godswood without gods, as empty as me.
She scooped up a handful of snow and squeezed it between her fingers."
