Charli’s prompt this week:
June 27, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that involves paint. It can be fresh, peeling or in need of a coat. What is being painted and why? Go where the prompt leads!
Painting Passion
“Mrs Smith, you can come and sit over here.”
I put my book into my bag and sat at the chair indicated by the technician.
“What are we doing today, Mrs Smith?” She smiled at me, awaiting my answer.
“I’d like my nails painted please, Jemima.”
I chose my colour, a deep red, always my favourite.
Red, the colour of passion
Apt for our date night.
It had been a long time since we’d been out together, as a couple.
Usually, it was all about the children, but tonight was for us.
Time needed, to keep the romance alive.
But I Smile Anyway...

In the early days, we used to only talk about our children when we went out anyway, we were so besotted with them. 🙂

Nice one, Ritu! It’s important to keep up the passion. Maybe I should have repainted the house red…! Ah, well, we did patches of “mint jelly.”
