She had only come into town yesterday and had been busy with finding a temporary place to stay and an old reliable pick-up. After breakfast she would go to the hardware store to purchase some basic supplies she knew she would need. But for now, she wanted – needed food since she hadn’t eaten much since her flight had landed the previous day. She planned on being self-sufficient, at the very least, mostly because she had no other choice – at least not yet. Not once did she wonder why the other tables seemed to be over populated and that lonely table was not. She did not pay much attention to her surroundings except for the simple glance that would show her anyone that could look suspicious by sitting alone at a table or wearing the colors of a motorcycle club.Ĭoming here was a last ditch effort to find some measure of freedom here, while still being able to make a living. She had bought a small farm that had no more than a two bedroom log cabin and a few small outbuildings, which she intended to expand into a small chicken and vegetable farm, while assisting local farmers as the vet that she had studied for and never really been able to use. She still had to decide if she wanted to just be self-sufficient or to sell her crops, but she supposed that would be decided with time if she could settle here permanently. Leah pushed through the wispy cloud of pungent cigarette smoke a man blew out where he stood near the doorway hiding from the cold wind, and walked into the small diner. The difference in temperature from the cold of early spring outside to the warm, coffee and breakfast scented air inside was significant and welcoming. The place seemed rather crowded, everyone escaping from the blistering cold wind and swirling snow outside, but she spotted a single table towards the back that was not being used when she glanced around her. This was her first time in here since she had found her way to Fairbanks, Alaska.
