Undecided

Aurora woke up the next morning feeling still uneasy about calling to see the house.  She didn't sleep well and the little sleep she had was filled with dreams, memories, or whatever of living in the house that she kept seeing.  The house she is pretty sure is now available.  Although the actual design of the house is slightly fuzzy in her mind, the picture she saw online does appear resemble what she keeps seeing.  Not sure what to do, Aurora decides to give her sister Nina a call.
A few weeks before winning the lotto, Aurora had finally come clean to Nina about all the stuff she had been going through.  She didn't tell her right away because Nina can be a little quick to judge sometimes.  She also has a tendency to insist she is right, which annoys Aurora.  Just because she is older doesn't mean Nina knows everything.  Knowing full well Nina would probably go off on some tangent, Aurora still decided she wanted her sister's advice over anyone else's at the moment.
Aurora didn't know if it was Nina's pregnancy hormones or what but Nina was particularly cranky and quick tempered on the phone.  As soon as Aurora mentioned what she was contemplating Nina started in on her.  She told her absolutely do not call about that house.  Nina reminded her that she was doing well and on a positive note right now and that she didn't need something like this derailing Aurora and sending her another depressed dream searching journey or whatever.  Even when Aurora told her that it might be fate and isn't a coincidence that after winning the lotto this property is once again available, Nina cut her right off.  She told her that's all it was and that she could kick Yvette for slightly implying to Aurora anything about this being in the cards for something for her.  Aurora was rather ticked off by that since Yvette didn't actually say that her, rather just implied that it was strange that in her dreams she didn't know how she was rich but she was.  Whatever though, Nina thinks what she thinks and that's it.
The only thing that did get to Aurora was when Nina said, What if this is the house, then what?  Are you just going to sit there and wait for the next part of your life to just fall into place?  What do you think that dream man of yours is going to fall down the chimney on Christmas?  Are you going to scour everywhere looking for him?  Like what happens next?
Nina was right about that.  Aurora hadn't forgotten that she didn't live there alone.  That in fact she was married with a happy family there.  Aurora remembered all this and that was the main reason she was hesitant to even call in the first place.  Once her conversation with Nina ended Aurora found herself exactly as she was before.  Totally confused as to what she should do.  All she knew was she needed to get out of the house and get some air.  Hopefully that would trigger a decision.
