Donna knocked on the floor as she stepped into the attic. “Oh my god! What are you doing?”

Marc looked at her. “I’m cleaning the place up. Benjamin will be stopping by later.”

“This place isn’t even messy.”

“It isn’t now, but I needed to have the fabric ready for him and wanted to get the pieces we had that he might be interested in.”

“Marc, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I think this is what he’s interested in.” She motioned in a circle around his body.

He batted her hand, “No, he’s serious about helping us out. And, I suppose I’d be okay with his interest.”

The doorbell echoed upstairs. “I bet that’s him.” Donna turned to descend.

“Should I wait up here for him or meet him at the door?”

“Marc, it’s not like you’ve never seen him before. Just yesterday you met at the library. He already knows so much about this house.”

Marc sat at the desk, then stood up and sat on the bed, changed his mind, and leaned against the dresser.

“I’ll bring him up. Relax little brother.”

Marc laughed and sat in all the same places again. As he got up from the bed, he heard Benjamin’s laughter and stood still, smiled, and just turned to greet him. “Hey.”

“Hi there, Donna said she’ll bring up coffee in a bit.”

“Sounds great.” He stepped closer, and the two reached out for a somewhat awkward hug that lasted longer than Marc thought it should, but he liked how their bodies fit together. Marc rested his head on Benjamin’s shoulder and lifted it when he heard Donna’s voice from below.

“I’m bringing a tray. Can one of you come get it from me?”

Benjamin let go and their eyes met. He smiled and turned. “Sure thing, Donna.”

“Thanks. Is my lazy brother futzing with something he shouldn’t be and not showing you?”

“Oh, no… He’s shown me plenty already.” Benjamin looked over his shoulder and smiled.

“I’ll leave you boys alone. Dinner should be ready in a couple of hours if you’d like to stay.”

“Sounds great.” Benjamin turned back and took the tray to the chest of drawers Marc had been leaning against. “Is this the chap that made the discovery?” Benjamin picked up the frame.

“Yes, that's Jed.” Marc felt the warmth in his cheeks. “I’m sorry about that hug, I didn’t expect it to last so long.” He didn’t know if he was saying it to Jed or Benjamin.

He placed the frame back and took a look around the room. “You weren't kidding when you said she was a hoarder. I saw some items downstairs which could fetch quite a penny. But, this bedframe…” He walked to the opposite side of the room, pulled out some boxes, and inspected the slats and wood, nodding his head.

“Is that worth something?”

“It’s too soon to tell, but even if it’s not, I might be interested.”

Marc came up behind him. “The fabric is in these boxes over here.”

Benjamin turned to look at them. “Oh yes, these wools and linens will make my men very happy.
