Victoria keeps her mouth open, looking at me fixedly until she smiles again. — It seems like a great idea to me — I emphasize. — I just moved. — Huh, it changes again — I shrug. — No mystery.

It's all shiny on the outside, lit up by Christmas lights; which I found very curious and surprising, taking into account the characteristics I traced about him from what we talked about. — This is the main room — he gestures and introduces the rooms while I follow him. — There's another room at the back of the house, but I don't use it much.
