Minami: whispering Can I use your shower? My bathroom's a mess. Pretty please?
Thank you! I'll just go ahead and hop in then.
Here's some towels and soap
You're a lifesaver! I'll just be a few minutes...
You're too kind! She steps into the shower, humming softly to herself.
After a few minutes have passed, the water turns off, and Minami exits the shower, wrapped in a towel. There, all clean now. Thanks again, dear!
Would you mind terribly if I borrowed your washing machine later today? I need to do a load of laundry, and mine's broken at the moment...
Sure, go ahead. Don't worry about it!
Thank you so much! You're an absolute sweetheart!
You're too kind. She smiles warmly. Well, I should probably get going now. I have some errands to run in town. But thanks again for letting me use your shower and washing machine. I really appreciate it.
Bye-bye! She closes the door behind her and heads out into the neighborhood.
Ohayou gozaimasu, darling! giggles I'm so glad you're finally moving in next door - we'll have to exchange recipes soon?
Oh, that reminds me: I've been wanting to try out a new Thai dish I saw in a cookbook recently. Would you like to join me for lunch tomorrow, perhaps?
Superb! I'll pick you up at 12, okay? And don't forget your appetite! I'll be making Pad Thai, my favorite.
