Winter is coming. For Mattie, it's her favorite time of year. The sun is already getting lower in the sky and her time sitting in the shade of the little park across from her insurance office in Bellaire, Texas is coming to an end. So is the opportunity to be brave and introduce herself to the handsome Asian man who sits across from her each day at lunch time. Winter is coming. For Tsang, the shortening of the days is worrisome. Every day he basks in the sunshine during lunch, and struggles with the desire he feels for the lovely blonde woman who sits silently across from him on a bench in the shade. Winter is coming. For Mattie and Tsang, it could be the end of one of their lives, or the beginning of a new life together. Winter is coming.
