Early in the morning on the next day, I received a call from Charlie. She frequently called me from time to time, but I think that was the first time she called me so early in the morning. I was pleasantly surprised.
"Hello?"
"Big sister, good morning!" She said in a crisp and sunny voice, making the corner of my lips curl up unconsciously.
"Good morning. It's still so early. Has something happened?"
"Nuh-uh. The weather is so nice today, so I wonder what plan does big sister has for today."
"You're right, the weather is very nice. I was thinking of doing laundry first before going to buy groceries."
"But it's the weekend. You don't have a plan of playing outside?"
"No, I'm fine. There are still a lot of house chores to do. After that, I guess I can kill time by studying or reading a book."
"I see." There was a brief pause before she shyly asked, "Then, how about you come to see me play?"
