“Damn, I almost forgot.” Ed reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out an envelope. “We went to the post office just before we came over—we had to pick up a package, a special order that had come in for us—and Mo gave us this letter to give to you.”

“You know the entire town knows about your romance when the post mistress starts giving you mail to deliver,” Warren said. Then he smiled. “Just sayin’.”

“I only go there about once a week. It keeps slipping my mind.” She took the envelope and then turned it over to look at it. “Oh.”

Ed knew Warren had also noticed the way her expression changed. They’d both read the return address, and so they knew that the letter, whatever its contents, came from her mother.

“Aren’t you going to open it?”

“No. I’m working.”

Ed nodded. “Of course. You can open it when you get home tonight, after work.” He deftly took the envelope back, and returned it to his pocket.

“And by home, of course, he means our place,” Warren said.

Carol tilted her head to one side. “We have been spending a lot of time at your place, and not much at mine.”

“Did you want to take turns? Because we could do that even though we’d be a tight fit in your teeny tiny little bed.”

Carol looked down for a moment as she filed Warren’s nails. When she met his gaze again, her cheeks had the faintest pink color to them and her eyes were laughing. “I could sleep on top of one of you. That would make it seem roomier for you.”

Ed grinned. “It would, but I have a feeling there wouldn’t be much sleep happening.” He flicked his gaze over to his brother and nearly blinked. Warren had gone from wearing his teasing face, to a very serious expression.

His brother’s voice was quiet when he asked, “Do you need some time alone, sweetheart? Are we crowding you?”

The look on Carol’s face—pure shock—likely reassured Warren more than any words could.

“No! No, I don’t need time alone. But I would like to spend some time at my house taking care of my gardens. Maybe…maybe we could do that on the weekend? I planted all those plants and I feel responsible for them. I want to make certain they don’t feel neglected.”

“We can do that,” Ed said. He watched the way she was so careful, so meticulous, in trimming Warren’s cuticles. She did the same with him, had done from that very first time. Her attention to detail astounded him then, and it still had him in awe. He would look down at his hands before she worked on them. They always looked good to him before their appointment with her. But after, the difference felt enormous. Warren had spoken for both of them when he’d told her they liked the way their hands felt since they’d been getting manicures. And it was all due to her care, the way she focused on what she was doing.
