premise: Did he really have to give it two gos in one day ? And he 'd touched her earlier , she knew he had , which was frightening enough . Back in the garden , with the warm air , and the stars above , and no pants again . This was getting to be a troubling habit , especially since he inevitably showed up . And now that she 'd noticed it with that surety in mind , panic was n't going to wipe out a consciousness of her half - naked state . Kaoru picked her way between trees , toes sinking into the earth . The windows were dark all around her , and it made her feel startlingly alone . Why did someone touch her earlier ?
hypothesis: Because the air was warm .
