'a bundle' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'at the start of an affair she' is the wordplay.
'at the start of' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'an affair' becomes 'af' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'af' put after 'she' is 'SHEAF'.

'makes' is the link.
