Ashton was in a fresh set of clothes when I exited the bathroom. It was not what he wore yesterday, meaning that someone had brought him some new clothes.

Noticing my presence, he handed me the brown bag that was beside him. “There’re new clothes in here!”

I shook my head. “It’s fine. I’ve already changed.” I did not want to bother changing into another set of clothes.
