Remembering Tobias’ obsession with cleanliness, Skylar cleaned the soles of her shoes before entering the house.

When they were inside, the man went to the bathroom to retrieve a warm towel for her. She received it and bent down, ready to wipe her shoes off when he suddenly said, “That’s for your hair and face. You got wet after getting down from the car, didn’t you?”

After a moment of hesitation, she reached up and used the towel to dry her hair off, hanging it back in the bathroom once she was done.
