The dog will be sitting by the window when the door has opened and Alice enters. John would have followed her.

Does the following sentence sound idiomatic? Does it make sense? (I wrote it)

The dog will be sitting by the window when the door has opened and Alice enters. John would have followed her.

Is it a puzzle? (It seems like the reader is supposed to figure out what's going on.)

I am not sure the text describes a realistic situation. Does 'would have followed her" clearly mean a bit like 'most likely he will have followed her before she enters'?

If you wrote it you should know better than anybody else what you mean to say. As it is it is unclear what it is the writer means by that. I really don't know what you have in mind. Are just hoping that it will somehow make sense?

Perhaps:

The dog will be sitting by the window when Alice enters. John will be with her.

Hm.

Why did you write that? What’s the context?
