"It's fine. Looking good at home is enough," Suzy said with a laugh.
At the very least, she enjoyed the view.
"Oh, right. Uncle, there are still a few outfits over here. Do you want to try those too?"
She pointed toward several sets of clothing she had already put together.
"Absolutely."
Leonard was clearly enjoying himself. Without hesitation, he gathered up another armful of clothes and headed back to his room.

Bending down, she retrieved the safe house remote from a drawer and spent a moment figuring out the controls before switching on the heating system.
Warm air gradually began circulating through the room.
