      “She decided to do it herself?” Marlie made a sound. “I thought she was going to ask someone else.” Her eyes met his.

      “Me?”

      Marlie shrugged. “She wasn’t specific.”

      Axelle had never come out and asked him. Had she expected Ty to offer to be the auctioneer? “I’ve never done anything like that before. This is a big deal. She should have gotten someone with experience.”

      “Whatever.”

      Did Axelle feel that he’d let her down? It was hard to figure out what she was thinking or wanted from him.

      Marlie turned back to the computer. “By the way, she’s coming here to change clothes before the auction. It’ll save you a trip to pick her up.”

      “Sounds good.” At least Axelle would be able to introduce Marlie around during the afternoon before people got dressed up. A casual setting was more Marlie’s style, anyway.

      There was a knock on the door jamb and one of the carpenters stuck his head in. “We’ve got it all, Marlie. We patched the holes where the brackets held the frame to the wall. I’d give it a day to dry before you paint over it.”

      “Okay.”

      “And thanks again!”

      She gave a distracted wave and he let himself out.
