I raise a finger to Katya. “I’ll go see. Wait here.”
But outside, it couldn’t be less threatening. A man at the gate raises a wave. “Hey, you our new neighbour?” Weather-beaten, be-hatted, and wearing thick layers against the temperature plunge, he’s the image of the friendly local.
“That's right. Me and my wife.”
“I’m Ron.” A hand thrusts forward. “Great to meet you, Mr…?”
“Hickman.”
“Great to meet you, Mr Hickman. And your wife too…” He angles over my shoulder in an unsubtle bid to see inside.
“Katy,” I call. “Come meet your new neighbour.”
He beams as she comes out. “My Martha was thrilled when she saw you parked outside. This place has stood empty too long.” His eyes drop to Katya’s stomach, crinkling as he speaks. “Could do with some more kids around the place too.”
He swings an arm toward the next house along, maybe a quarter mile down the road. “That’s where I live. If you’d like to join us to eat this evening, you’d be very welcome. Martha serves up around six. Meanwhile, there anything you need while you’re getting yourselves turned around?”
“Yes, do you know where I can buy a load of logs? We’ve enough here for a day or two, but…”
“Not a problem.” He pats at pockets, then fishes out a scrap of paper and a stub of pencil. “This here’s the number for Gordon, about two miles down the road. He’ll deliver as much as you want. Get in plenty. Once the snow comes down, no one moves around here until March. Meanwhile, I’ll bring you some across in the station wagon to keep you going.”
“That’s very kind of you,” says Katya.
He beams. “My pleasure. So… you joining us this evening?”
I exchange a glance with my wife. She slips her hand into mine. “We’d love to.”
