She lit up again, obviously pleased at the prospect of fitting in with the mushing world. “So how did they get their nickname?”

He allowed himself a moment to look at her—really look—and let his gaze see past the mass of curls dusted with a fine layer of snow, the dainty, upturned nose reddened from the cold, and the ladylike way she crossed her feet at the ankles.
