Getting ready

I was living in small island in japan at the time, when this girl, asked me if i can help her sharpen her kitchen knifes. I replied with a confused “yeah sure” , we went to her place. What I thought will take a few minutes turned to a few hours, what I thought was her place turned to a 5 girl’s share house and what I thought, was A knife turned to 4 Knifes. As morning turns to noon and noon to early evening, the girls got back from work to throw a birthday party for a friend, they started getting ready.
