“Why?” Ainsley asked. “Is it haunted?”

Rachel laughed.

“No. But I personally think that would be kind of cool. Anyway, I’m their realtor, this is my listing and they have told me that’s their magic number on the low end of the scale.”

“Okay, fine, but why are you telling me this?” Ainsley asked. “Aren’t you giving away a bunch of commission?”

Rachel looked at her for a long moment and Ainsley so desperately wanted to know what was going through Rachel’s mind right then!

Eventually, Rachel shrugged and looked back at her laptop’s screen.

“Maybe I just want you to move to town,” she said. “Having a doctor friend could be handy. What if I need my gallbladder removed one day? Anyway, what do you want to do?”

Now it was Ainsley who shrugged.

“Offer fifteen-grand less,” she instructed. If she could get this place and have fifteen-thousand less to pay back, why not?

“Done,” Rachel said a few moments later after tapping some information into her laptop.

“When will we know?” Ainsley asked.

Rachel was now tapping on her phone.

“Soon, hopefully,” she told Ainsley. “I’m sending Mrs. Haversham a text right now, if they even get cell service in friggin’ Alaska. I’m telling her you’re a doctor, super well-qualified and that this could happen soon!”

She finished sending the text.

“So…did you want to look at some other listings in the meantime?” Rachel asked.

Ainsley shook her head.

“Actually, I kinda want Greek food now!”

“Ooh, I know a place!” Rachel said.

“Will you join me?” Ainsley asked, trying to sweeten the deal by giving her best smile.

It apparently worked.

“Like you were going to be able to stop me,” Rachel assured her.

Rachel wondered how long this would last.

Would it end the moment she and Ainsley said goodbye at the end of the day?

Would it end the moment Ainsley closed on her house in a few weeks?

She had no idea.

But Rachel had to admit that she had a massive crush on Dr. Ainsley Janowicz.

She didn’t know exactly what that meant yet. And it still frightened her a little. But she also knew that it was pointless to fight it now. It was too potent. From the moment she first laid eyes on Ainsley, Rachel had been rocked, suddenly finding herself wanting to do things with a woman she never considered doing with any woman ever before in her lifetime.

Like pressing her body up against hers.

Like kissing her.
