Two Sisters and a Dog

I knew Suzie was coming to stay for a night, but I thought she will only arrive on Monday morning. Instead, last Sunday when I was still in my pajamas, I walked into the kitchen and bumped into her.

Suzie is the younger sister of our trusted housekeeper, Suzana. She works in a thread factory in the south. Recently, her work contract was about to end and her employer hinted they will not be renewing. So, Suzie packed her clothes into boxes and shipped them home, only to discover days later that her employer have decided to renew the contract!

Her original plan was to visit Suzana and help Suzana bring some gifts home for her teenage son. Now that her contract’s been renewed, she came over to borrow some clothes from her sister!
