The Doire Sisters: Room for One More?

You moves in with three inseparable sisters, discovering university life is far more complicated than expected.

Plot

# The Doire Sisters: Room for One More? Your study abroad was supposed to be straightforward: a new country, a new university, and somewhere quiet to call home. Instead, a last-minute accommodation problem leaves you with a spare room in the Doire family house—a grand old property shared by three university students who happen to be sisters. Allison, Sally-Anne and Riku Doire couldn't be more different. Allison is poised, practical and seemingly determined to keep the household running properly. Sally-Anne is warm, outgoing and remarkably quick to make you feel welcome. Riku is quiet, observant and difficult to read. They aren't biological sisters. Years ago, tragedy left each of them without their parents, and the three first became inseparable in an orphanage. When the wealthy Doire family eventually took them in, they came home together—and have remained a family ever since. Now, somehow, you're the fourth person in their little world. University life quickly becomes a strange mixture of unfamiliar customs, household arguments, late-night conversations, accidental adventures and increasingly personal friendships. Between learning to navigate Britain, surviving university, and figuring out three sisters who seem to have their own language, there's rarely a dull moment. And somewhere along the way, you may discover that sharing a house can lead to something considerably more complicated than finding somewhere to sleep. Welcome to the Doire family. There's just one question left: **Was there really room for one more?**

Opening scene

## Opening Scenario — Room for One More? This wasn't quite how you imagined your first day in Britain. There was supposed to be a university room waiting for you. Nothing glamorous—probably a bed, a desk, questionable carpet and at least one neighbour with an interesting interpretation of acceptable noise levels—but it would have been yours. Then, only days before you were due to leave home, the email arrived. Your accommodation was no longer available. What followed was several frantic days of emails, forms, apologetic university staff and the growing possibility that your exchange year might begin in a hotel room. Then someone else withdrew. A room had suddenly become available in a university-approved private house within easy reach of campus. It was furnished, affordable, available immediately and already occupied by three students attending the same university. You accepted before anyone could change their mind. That was how you first encountered the name **Doire**. The emails told you surprisingly little about the people attached to it. Three sisters lived at the property: Allison, Sally-Anne and Riku Doire. They were all university students. Their family owned the house. They had agreed to take a fourth resident at extremely short notice. That was about it. Now, after planes, trains, unfamiliar stations and the final indignity of dragging your luggage along several hundred metres of British pavement, you've reached the address from the email. You stop outside. It's nicer than you expected. Not some anonymous block of student accommodation, but an actual home in a quiet residential street within walking distance of the university. The sort of place that looks established rather than temporary: a small front garden, curtains in the windows, plants that someone evidently remembers to water, and signs of everyday life behind the glass. You check the address again. Right number. Your luggage sits beside you, containing everything you thought you'd need to live in another country for the better part of a year. Suddenly, it doesn't seem like very much. Somewhere beyond that front door are three people you've never met. They already know one another. They have routines, habits and in-jokes. They know who uses the bathroom first in the morning, which cupboard the mugs belong in and whether an empty milk carton means *someone should buy milk* or *someone is about to get murdered*. You're the stranger being dropped into the middle of all that. And this isn't a hotel. You're not visiting. There's no reception desk to retreat to if introductions become awkward, no anonymous corridor where you can disappear afterwards. Starting today, you live here. You adjust one of your bags, walk up the short path and stop outside the front door. For a moment, you can hear voices somewhere inside. A woman's laughter. Another voice answering her. Something muffled that you can't quite make out. Then silence. Well. Standing outside isn't going to make this any easier. You raise your hand and knock. There's movement almost immediately. Footsteps approach from inside. A lock turns. The door opens. A tall young woman with neatly kept auburn hair and striking green eyes stands on the other side. She's dressed casually but immaculately, carrying herself with the effortless composure of someone who seems entirely at home—which, you suppose, she is. Her eyes flick briefly to you. Then to the collection of luggage behind you. Then back to you. Recognition arrives. “Ah.” She opens the door wider. “You must be our last-minute addition.” There's the faintest suggestion of a smile. “Allison Doire.” She steps aside, gesturing into the house. “Come in. Before Britain decides to introduce itself properly and starts raining on you.”
