章節 12: Chapter 12

He couldn’t imagine what it would be like in the winter.

“You’ll be dead in the winter with those windows.”Noah snorted.“At least if it drops to the minus thirties like it did last winter for a few days.”

Derek blinked slowly.“Wait,Celsius or Fahrenheit?”

Dallas,who was changing the battery of the rechargeable drill grinned.“Both.”

Yeah,better windows would definitely be needed.

“The house itself has been fixed so that there’s proper insulation everywhere.It won’t help if the windows let the warmth out,though,”Noah mused.

“Can I at least pay some of the window costs?”Derek asked.

“No,the Council is paying for everything,”Mikael said as he came around the corner just in time to hear him.
