The short story "Neighbors," by Raymond Carver follows the exploits of Bill and Arlene Miller as they apartment sit for their neighbors, Jim and Harriet Stone who are on vacation.
The Millers seem to have a great relationship with each other, but they admire the Stones for their quality of life.
In the Stones' absence they begin snooping around in their stuff, even drinking their wine and trying on their clothes. Mr. Carver is imaginative here and has Bill trying on some of Mrs. Stones things.
It's all in light hearted fun until they manage to lock themselves out, and we are left wondering how they deal with that.
