Bert naturally noticed her discomfort. After wrapping an arm around her waist and drawing her inside, he didn't do anything inappropriate right away. Instead, he let go and said gently,
"I have something for you."

"These are all for you. See if you like them."

Catherine stepped forward, staring at the wardrobe filled to the brim with clothing, unable to hide her surprise.
