Will lifted her head and glanced at the clock. “That’s too bad.”

Nora looked at her, cocked a brow. “What’s too bad?”

“It’s after one. And if I’m remembering correctly, the water heater guys will be here soon.”

“Shit.” Nora bolted out of bed.

Will sat up. “Relax. Barely after one. They’re not banging on the door now.”

“But I may have missed a call from them. They could be here any minute.”

“Okay, okay. I’m with you.” Will pulled on her clothes and followed Nora downstairs.

Nora picked up her phone. Will watched her shoulders relax. “Nothing yet.”

“Good. How about I go try to dig out our cars? I’m sure we’ll need to go somewhere eventually.”

That got Nora to smile. “You don’t have to do all the shoveling. I’m able-bodied, you know.”

“Oh, I know.” She looked at Nora suggestively and Nora flushed. The rise of color made Will want to drag her to bed all over again. Sensing Nora wouldn’t be as amenable this time, she started putting on her boots. “I’m just happy to help. I like it.”

“Thanks. Why don’t you focus on your car first? I’m sure you’d like to go home for a while. I can handle mine.”

“I…” She probably shouldn’t say it, but the last place she wanted to go was home.

Nora smiled at her coyly. “I’m not saying you can’t come back later. I just thought you might like a change of clothes.”

“Ah.” Will’s stomach fluttered with the delight of being wanted.

“I mean, I thought you looked great in my joggers, but you didn’t seem to like them.”

Apparently, Nora’s playful switch had been flipped. Will tried not to think about how temporary it might be. “You just like looking at my ankles.”

“Your ankles are fine, but I’m—”

The phone rang, cutting her off. As much as Will wanted to hear the rest of the sentence, she had shoveling to do. And the sooner she finished, the sooner she could go home. And the sooner she did that, the sooner she would be back at Nora’s.

By the time Will got to her place, it was late afternoon. She took a quick shower, spending most of it wondering if she could talk Nora into shared showers at some point. After getting dressed, she packed a bag with some work clothes and clean underwear. She contemplated a semi-nice pair of pants, but settled on jeans and a sweater. She didn’t want to jinx herself.

Before leaving, she checked her phone and realized she’d missed a text from Emerson.

Hope you’re not too buried. Free for dinner or a drink?

As much as Will wanted to get back to Nora, she wasn’t about to blow off her sister.

Things are good here and the roads are clear. Want me to come to you?

While she waited for a reply, Will sent a quick text to Nora. She was a little nervous that Nora would tell her not to bother coming, but she didn’t. Nora may have worked in a comment about staying over making it easier for her to start working on the stairs, but Will didn’t mind.
