'This room gets really hot in the summer, but it's only twenty degrees outside right now. How could it be hot enough for him to take off his shirt? Are guys just naturally warmer, so they can't stand the heat?'
Vera Xavier simply couldn't imagine what it would be like to stay in the same room with a shirtless Nathaniel Nathan, so she quickly said, "Wait a second."
After saying that, she opened the door, slipped downstairs to fetch a basin of water, and grabbed her towel to bring up with her.
Luckily, Rona Langdon was so mad at her that she had locked herself in her room. Cara Preston, not daring to get on her bad side at a time like this, was also quietly staying in her own room, so Vera didn't run into anyone.
As soon as she was back inside, she placed the basin on the floor and locked the door. When she turned around, she saw Nathaniel Nathan watching her.
