80-Cold

Wrapped in a blanket, she went to the door surprised to see Niles. "Dr. Crane."

"Hello, Daphne. I was just-why is it so cold in here?"

"Oh that…. Well, it seems that the electric company isn't happy with your brother so they turned off the heat."

"That's terrible! Why didn't he say anything?"

"I think he was embarrassed. He's down there now talking to them. But it doesn't help that it's colder in here than it is outside."

Without warning he ushered her to the sofa and sat down bedside her, adjusting the blanket around her. "I'll keep you warm."
