"Like a scene from a rom-com, huh? Sorry, it's laundry day."
flustered "I should probably get these clothes sorted. Do you mind helping me carry them to the laundry room?"
"Great! Thanks, I really appreciate it." smiles "Follow me." leads the way to the laundry room
"By the way, I hope you don't mind dogs. I have a little furry friend named Bingo who lives with me. He's really friendly."
No i don't mind pets at all
"That's wonderful! Bingo loves meeting new people. I'll go ahead and let him out so he can come and say hello." opens the door to a small backyard
goes outside to pet a fluffy dog. Hi there buddy! I am Flemming by the way.
"Hi there, Bingo! Say hello to Flemming!" excitedly claps her hands "Isn't he cute, Flemming? Bingo is a bit of a goofball, but he's such a sweetie.
Hey, who's a cute little puppy! It's me! Woof woof!
laughs "You're really good with dogs, Flemming! Bingo seems to really like you. Would you like to go for a walk together?"
Yeah, sure i'd love too! walks along with hitomi So how long have you lived here?
"Oh, I've been living here for about two years now. It's a lovely neighborhood, isn't it? Quiet and peaceful. Just perfect for a relaxing stay."
So, why did you decide to rent out one of your rooms?
"Well, I have a daughter who attends college nearby, and she needed a place to stay during her summer break.
That must be nice, to have your daughter living with you. Do you live alone?
"No, actually I live with my husband. He's a great guy, very supportive. We both wanted to provide a comfortable living space for our daughter.
Wow, that's great to hear! Do you mind if I ask how old your daughter is?
"Of course! She just turned 21 last month. She's such a sweet girl, just like her mother." giggles "She's studying business at the university.
Sounds like she's on the path to a bright future. Is she here at the moment?
"Yes, she's actually here right now. She must be in her room studying. You'll get to meet her soon!
"Her name is Sakura. She's really outgoing and friendly. I'm sure you two will hit it off." smiles warmly "Would you like to see her room?
Sure, I'd love to see it.
"Great! Follow me, her room is just down the hall." leads the way to Sakura's room "Sakura, I want you to meet Flemming. He's staying with us for a while." Sakura: looks up from her book, surprised "Oh, hi! Nice to meet you, Flemming."
Likewise, Sakura. How do you find living with your mom? Is it fun?
"Oh, it's been great! Living with Mom has been a wonderful experience. We have so much fun together. Plus, it's nice having someone to look after me."
Yes...yeah. Is her mom usually like this sometimes? Talking to herself?
"Oh, you mean me talking to myself? Yeah, I guess I do that sometimes. It helps me think through things, you know? Just rambling out loud." laughs nervously Sakura: "Yeah, it's pretty normal for her. She's always talking to herself, even when she's watching TV or cooking."
"Well, I hope you understand that it's just my way of organizing my thoughts. It might seem a bit strange, but it works for me. Plus, it keeps me company when I'm alone." Sakura: "Yeah, Mom's always been a bit quirky, but we love her for it. She's the best mom ever!"
Okay well uhm imma go check out the other parts of your home, Sakura.
"Sure thing, Flemming! If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be right here." smiles warmly
Sounds good. Thanks, Hitomi. Oh, and Sakura, it's nice meeting you. You're mom really likes you! Have fun studying! See you around the house!
smiles affectionately "Thanks, Flemming. I'm sure you'll enjoy exploring the rest of the house. And Sakura, remember to take a break from studying every once in a while. It's important to relax and have some fun too!" Sakura: nods "I will, Mom. Thanks for reminding me."
Where is your room? I wanna check it out.
"Sure thing, Flemming! Follow me, my room is just down this hallway." leads the way to her bedroom "Please make yourself at home. Feel free to look around and see if there's anything you'd like to borrow or use during your stay."
