"Meri! Rose!" Melinda's cheerful voice boomed from downstairs as she called the sisters for breakfast. Melinda was always the first one up in the mornings and she took it upon herself to wake her cousins, she knew they would just leave their alarm clocks ringing out is she didn't call them. She was just contemplating a time when she had got home from work at 5pm, only to find Rose still in bed with her alarm clock ringing when there was a knock on the door.
"Hey Melinda, I was just driving by when I saw this package on your doorstep" it was the man that had just moved in next door. He was about 26, tall with dark hair and piercing green eyes. "Oh, thanks" Melinda replied as she took the package from her neighbour. "I never did ask your name?" she said in a quiet voice. "Oh...hi, I mean sorry, it's David." the man responded.
"Hi David I'm Melinda and this…" pointing to her cousin who had just walked down the stairs in her night gown "is Meredith".
"Oh, hi" David said in a shy voice. "hi" Meredith replied as she yawned and turned into the kitchen to eat breakfast. "She just woke up" Melinda explained. "So, anyway...thanks for stopping by"
"umm, yeah, well I kinda wanted to ask you something" David said. "I was wondering if I would be able to book a table at your club, you are the owner of the legendary P3 aren't you?"
"Well, me and my cousins are, yeah" she answered. "Well, You must be some lucky people to buy that place, my mum used to go there thirty years back when it had just opened" He smiled and waited for a response.
"Oh, no! we didn't buy it, we inherited it. My mum was co-owner along with her two sisters. So me and my cousins inherited it after they passed away she explained.
"Well anyway I must be getting going or I'll be late for work" he said and started to rush off.
"And yeah I'm sure I'll reserve you a table, for tonight?" Melinda thought it was strange for him to rush off without getting an answer to his question but at the last minute he turned around and answered "Sure, thanks" He stepped into his shiny, green car and drove away down the street.
Melinda returned into the kitchen and poured some coffee out for her sisters. "You need to look for a job." she directed this demand towards Rose, who had only just woke up and was trying to pull the lid off the orange juice. "Who was the cute guy at the door" she replied sleepily., completely ignoring Melinda's demand. Melinda did not look impressed. "Yeah, who was that guy at the door, another one of your boyfriends Rose?" Meredith chimed in, smiling.
"He's just moved in next door and saw this parcel on our doorstep. It's for you Meredith" she handed to parcel over to her cousin. Meredith looked surprised that she had received any mail and eagerly teared a corner open before dropping it on the floor.
"What...What is it?" Melinda yelled and she saw Meredith stare at the half opened package.
