Once both men were treated, Nicole went into the bedroom and retrieved medicine from her storage

space.

Some of the herbs were for consumption. Others were for preparing a wash to clean the wounds.

Antoni mentioned that several more people in his group were hurt. Since they paid generously, Nicole put together a few extra doses for them, too.

Then they pulled the patients outside on their sleds, along with the medicine.

Nicole supplied enough for three days. She explained how to prepare each remedy, when to use it, and

how to care for the wounds.

Antoni was familiar with herbal remedies. He nodded eagerly.

“Alright. Thank you. I’ll do exactly what you said.”

Before leaving, he warned them again about the Alliance.

“Be careful. You don’t want those people finding you.”

Nicole gave him a faint smile. “You should get moving. These two can’t stay out in the cold much longer.”

They watched the group disappear across the snow. Nicole, Zeph, and Poppy then checked the area with Cola and Ivory before heading inside.

Nicole opened one of the bottles. The sharp smell of strong liquor rose from it.

The ham looked properly cured and had no unpleasant odor.

But looking and smelling fine wasn’t enough for her to trust food from strangers. She stored both gifts away until she could be sure they were safe.

Two quiet days followed.

With little wind or fresh snowfall, Nicole and Zeph shoveled around the house while Poppy watched from

the hill with Cola and Ivory.

Early on the third morning, Antoni came back.

This time, he came alone. His gun was unloaded, carried only to discourage anyone he might meet along

the way.

He arrived shaking with cold. He took a couple of swigs from his flask, then rubbed his hands together and managed a grin.

“That medicine worked! Both of them made it. Thank you.”

He wanted to trade for more herbs. Then he hesitated.

“Would you have any fresh vegetables?”

The thought alone made him swallow. After months out here, he missed fresh greens badly.

“People where you lived always seemed to grow something, no matter how little space they had. I heard the old research stations up north even had greenhouses. Our crews used to visit and share meals with

them.”

He smiled hopefully.

“We got along back then. Maybe we could do a little trading now?”

After months of potatoes, corn, and frozen dried meat, Antoni could barely face another meal. He wanted something fresh and green.

He remembered hearing about researchers trying to grow vegetables on the moon. Surely, growing them in the frozen north couldn’t be harder than that.

“No,” Nicole said.

Even if she had vegetables to spare, she wasn’t offering them.
