I sat down on the bench and stretched out my bare feet.
The snow was cold against my skin, but I didn’t mind.
My feet were so cold that even the biting wind felt warm against my skin.
I had left the market without any shoes because I had no money to buy them.
I didn’t mind walking barefoot in the warm weather, but now that it was winter, I wished that I had some shoes to protect my feet from the cold.
My feet were red and any other color from walking in the snow and slush.
I would have to wait until next spring for my feet to get back to their normal color, I thought.
"You should not be walking around without any shoes on," a voice said behind me.
I turned around and saw Mikhail, a boy from my neighborhood who was several years older than me.
I pulled my feet closer to my body, curling my toes under so that he couldn’t see them.
I didn’t want to look him in the eyes, so I looked down at the ground.
He stepped around the bench and stood in front of me.
The leather of his boots crunched in the snow.
His shoes were well worn and cracked, but they looked warm.
I looked at a small hole forming near his left sole.
I counted the individual stitches around it.
He cleared his throat and I looked up at him.
He still had a stern look on his face, but he was holding out his scarf to me.
I stared at the offered scarf, not knowing what to do.
My pride was warring with my desperation.
The snow was falling and landing on my toes.
The cold was starting to penetrate the skin of my feet and I could feel them start to sting.
He shook the scarf at me and I looked up into his eyes.
His face was stern, but I saw a flicker of emotion in his eyes before he masked it.
He had dark brown eyes and a head of black hair that was starting to show underneath his fur hat.
The wool of the scarf looked thick and warm, although it was frayed at the edges.
My fingers were trembling as I reached out for it.
I remembered seeing him wrap the scarf around his neck on market days.
I took the scarf from him and held it in my palms.
The fabric was scratchy, but I could feel the warmth radiating from it.
I wrapped it around my feet, feeling the warmth seep in as I whispered a quiet thank you.
I huddled on the bench, the scarf now wrapped snugly around my feet.
Mikhail shifted his weight and gazed toward the tree line.
His stern expression softened as he studied the distant woods, where bare branches swayed against the gray sky.
Following his gaze, I noticed a narrow gap between the snow-laden pines, barely visible from our position.
He cleared his throat and gestured toward it with a gloved hand.
"There's a trail there," he said quietly, his usual commanding tone replaced with something gentler.
"It leads to..."
He paused, then extended his hand to help me up.
"...a cabin my grandfather built," he continued, his voice almost a whisper.
I hesitated, glancing at the path, then back at him.
"It's warm there," he added, his eyes meeting mine with an intensity that made my heart skip.
