From The Grey House Book Two, Inside the Grey House:
“You kissed me. You had your hands, well, in some pretty interesting places.”
“Sorry, Charlie. We had to look like we had no idea what was going on with the world. Stargazing wouldn’t have worked, and it had to look to a casual observer that you weren’t wearing ripped clothing. By getting that close, the girl couldn’t tell if your clothing were ripped or whole. It was the only thing we could do to get away clean.”
