You could take it to the new house and cook in half the time," I suggested. "They turned on all the devices today." Desi's eyes lit up. "They did?" I agreed. "I passed by there on my way here.

"Destroying actually sounds good," I admitted. "That place is trash." And was. The place was falling apart on top of our heads. The air conditioning worked whenever it wanted.
