Leonie was happy it was weekend. She had gone to the market and came up the stairs with two bags in her hands, opened the door of the gallery and walked to her front door. Against better judgment, she tried to get her key out of her jacket pocket without putting the bags down, but obviously she couldn't. Grumbling, she put the bags on the floor and put her hand in her coat pocket. At that moment, Mandy's front door opened. “Hai buuf!” she said and walked towards Leonie. “Sorry about the week,” continued Mandy as she slammed her arms, it was obviously too cold outside for just a blouse. “I was tired and had a rare attack of loneliness. I'm sorry again, I didn't want to scare you and I probably did that,” Mandy said. Leonie started chopping. “No, it doesn't matter,” she got out with difficulty. Unlike Mandy, who was obviously cold, Leonie was hot. “I'm glad I didn't scare you, I was afraid of that. Well, I'm going back in soon, I'm cold,” said Mandy. She put her hand on Leonie's back for a moment, then turned around and walked in.

Leonie didn't know what she was doing for a moment. A little later she came back to her senses and felt further in her coat pocket to her keys. Once inside, she put the bags on the floor and thought that Mandy might have listed a cup of coffee. But actually Leonie liked it that way. She untied her coat and hung it on the coat rack and started cleaning up her groceries.
