Chapter 11

“These are the three you haven’t gone through?” I asked Frayne, pointing.

“Yeah. I’ve got detailed notes about the items in the others, including the clothing boxes. It should be easy to start cataloging them for the historical society.” One corner of his mouth lifted a bit in a charming smirk. “I’m assuming you want everything out of here as soon as possible. It can’t be pleasant to have your house so…invaded.”

I waved my hand as I slid open one of the boxes.

“It’s fine. It’s not like I have company coming or people trampling through this place every day and I’m embarrassed about the clutter. I’ll take this box.”

I ripped off the tape, pulled back one of the corners, and was overcome in a sneezing fit.

Frayne watched me as I sneezed five times in rapid succession before I came to shattering stop.

“God bless you.”

“I hate torpedo sneezes. And I could shoot Nanny for being such a hoarder.” I swiped my sleeve under my nose. “But if she weren’t, I guess we’d never have these items for the museum.”

I’d started my morning by officiating at a wedding Colleen was in charge of at Inn Heaven. Since it was a second marriage for both parties, they’d opted for a small ceremony and brunch overseen by Maureen. During my reading of the vows, I happened to look up and I spotted Frayne leaning against the doorjamb of the Morning Room. For a moment, I lost track of what I was saying. He looked so damn hot and manly, all I could think about was crossing the room, clamping my lips onto his, and finally getting to know what he tasted like.

After dropping him off the night before, I’d climbed into bed with the memory of his confession in Shelby’s office. He’d wanted to kiss me in the historical society basement but hadn’t because he’d thought I was married. Well, now he knew I wasn’t, and yet he still hadn’t put action behind that desire.

When my part of the ceremony was done, I made a quick stop by the kitchen where Maureen handed me a shopping bag filled with food for the weekend. Thank God for my baby sister, because I still hadn’t had a moment to get any groceries in the house, and now with Frayne coming over, I at least had something I could offer him if he got hungry.

The fleeting thought I could offer myself up to be devoured flitted through my brain. Despite sensing that he was attracted to me, I didn’t know if I should make the first move. And let’s be real here: I didn’t even know how to begin. This was an issue of marrying the first boy I’d ever kissed and loved forever. Because Danny’d been my everything for most of my life I didn’t know how to flirt, date, or let a man know I was attracted to him without coming across as aggressive.

Or…pathetic.

The box I’d chosen was easy to go through because it held nothing more interesting than Robert’s yearbooks from grammar school up to college.
