Sunday our hosts returned to a spotless home. We asked about their trip. They asked about our stay. They told us everything. We told them almost everything, except we never mentioned the attic.

My wife and I returned to the city, to our apartment. Monday she and I were both back at work. When I got home that day, she was in her closet.

“Everything alright in there?” I called.

“Mmm-hmmm,” came her muffled response. She emerged a moment later, locking the closet behind her, struggling to clasp the bracelet back onto her wrist.

“Let me help,” I stepped forward and fastened the bracelet. “How was your day?”

“Wonderful. I feel so rested. I decided I’m going to start painting. I went to the art store and picked up some oil paints and some canvases today and now I have to go to work, but tomorrow morning I intend to start painting.”

“That’s great.” I wandered to the kitchen to make myself some dinner. “Do you know what you want to paint?”

“I think mostly I want to work with objects for a while; I want to start with some elaborate table spreads, you know? Some feasts complete with wild game, big bowls of fruit, some ravished dinner plates. Nothing modern. I want to paint like those seventeenth-century masters.”

I was already distracted, comforted by her familiar quirkiness. “What an odd choice. I love it,” I said. I rifled through cabinets and then the refrigerator finding nothing at all appetizing to me. “Would you care to paint me a feast right now for dinner?”

“I haven’t started yet, but soon,” she replied, with a smile.
