Julian was still suspicious, but her explanation was plausible.
"Alright, don't just stand there. Go on in and change!"
While Julian went to change, Penelope found a set of his pajamas for Kristin to put on.
Since all three of them had been caught in the rain, Penelope went to the kitchen to make some hot tea to ward off any colds.
When she came out of the kitchen, she looked down at her own soaking clothes and considered changing as well.
There probably weren't any of her clothes left in the house. She figured Theodore must have thrown them all out.
With that thought, she went to the walk-in closet anyway and opened the wardrobe where she used to keep her clothes. The moment she did, she froze.
All of her clothes were still there, exactly as she had left them.
She'd overthought it. Theodore probably couldn't even be bothered to throw them out and had never opened this wardrobe.
Well, it was a good thing. At least now she had something to change into.
She quickly picked out an outfit and started to take off her wet clothes. Just then, she heard footsteps outside the door.
Heavy footsteps, not Julian's or Kristin's, and they were heading straight for the closet. She knew who it was and instinctively wanted to hide. A quick glance around revealed only one option: the wardrobes...
Theodore's jacket was slightly damp from the rain. He went upstairs and pushed open the door to the walk-in closet, immediately sensing something was off.
There were wet footprints on the floor.
He narrowed his eyes and walked past the wardrobes. Suddenly, he heard a faint noise and turned to look at the one behind him. The door wasn't fully closed; a piece of clothing was caught in it.
He strode over and yanked the door open, revealing Penelope huddled inside. Although she was trying to cover herself with clothes, it was clear she was naked.
Seeing this, Theodore let out a short, harsh laugh.
"Penelope, what kind of game are you playing now?"
This was a situation Penelope had definitely not anticipated.
"I... My clothes were wet... I wanted to change... I didn't expect you to come back so suddenly..." Penelope stammered.
"You came to my house to change clothes?"
