Okay, another fic for the quill_it challenge over on LiveJournal! I'm not that happy with this one, but it's kind of cute, so maybe you guys will get some enjoyment out of it :) Un-beta'd, so all mistakes are my own.
The Ravenwood Estate was huge.
Indiana Jones stared around in awe - the outside was beautiful, with a fountain, perfectly cut grass, and beds of roses everywhere, but the inside was exquisite. There were famous paintings, sculptures, stacks of paper littering the various surfaces in the parlor. It was perfect. Indiana was in full archaeological fever mode - 18th century carving, probably Japanese - and he barely registered Abner Ravenwood's return until Abner's booming voice pulled him from his thoughts.
''Henry, meet Marion. Marion, meet Henry Jones.''
Indiana turned from the carving to face the figures in the doorway, and for a moment, time stood still. The woman - no, girl, teenaged girl - was beautiful. Huge blue eyes, dark wavy hair, pale skin covered in freckles...
Marion was staring at him, head cocked to the side, mouth slightly parted. Indiana swallowed, throat having gone dry. ''It's...nice to meet you, Marion.'' He held out his hand, eyes boring into hers.
Marion reached out to take it, offering a surprisingly firm squeeze. ''It's nice to meet you too, Henry Jones.'' She kept her hand in his for a beat longer than necessary, before dropping it, and offering him a dazzling smile – Indy's heartbeat went off the charts - as she turned away. ''I'll be down for dinner, Abner.''
Indiana watched her go, dark hair swishing behind her as she ascended the stairs. Oh, yes. This was going to be a very interesting two years…
