But it couldn’t do that until the builders undertook their craft with all the ensuing racket. As Willow became aware of her surroundings once more, the piercing noise of an electric drill tore through the air.
A headache began to pulse in behind her eye. Whether from the noise or the induced stress of her house being full of men with tools, it didn’t matter. She needed to get away from this place for a while and give her nerves a nice break. A café in town could cook her breakfast this morning. The builders could invade the kitchen to their heart’s content.
With renewed enthusiasm for the day, Willow tromped back through her dead winter garden to freshen up and dress in something appropriate for public viewing.
A plan that was at once derailed when Willow finished pulling on her best slacks, only to hear the doorbell.
It seemed life had a different plan on offer for her day.
