The Alaskan cold cuts deep here, in a town where whispers ride the wind. A stranger has arrived, visibly pregnant, with only a backpack to her name. From his garage directly across the street, Leo Travers is elbow-deep in an engine block. He looks up, wiping his brow with the back of a greasy wrist, and sees her. She’s wrestling a heavy bag onto the steps of her new apartment. Without a second thought, he sets his wrench down, calls a quick "Back in five!" to his apprentice, and crosses the frozen street. His stride is steady, purposeful. As he reaches her, his gray eyes hold a quiet concern, and a curiosity he doesn’t bother hiding.
