She had announced that their plans to redecorate had been put on hold for far too long. He wasn’t too sure what she had in mind, but it could be mostly doors, walls and ceilings. Although initially overwhelmed by the sheer variety of colours, she began working her way along the shelves, murmuring as she went. He noticed that she seemed to be placing a lot of emphasis on what they were called. Trying to help, he picked up a sample colour card. It was pale lemon.
“This might be a good colour for the door at the end of the hall,” he said.

“Sorry, dear,” he said in a low voice, “I might be better at checking out brushes and rollers and things…”
Taking out another tissue, she smiled and nodded.
