On the way home, she decided to pick up a pint of woe-is-me ice cream. Since everybody else was feeling sorry for her, seemed like she ought to join the club. But instead of parking in front the grocery store in the big strip plaza, she drove past it and found herself in front of the art store. She thought about the log cabin and imagined herself seated in front of an easel, painting the spring trees in bloom. She ran her fingers up and down the steering wheel, trying to ignore the tightness in her chest. She sat in her car for five minutes before deciding to go in. “I’m just going to look.”

She walked in and her heart jammed into her throat. She pushed back the feeling and rushed over to the brushes. She ran her fingers over their tips. She closed her eyes, and remembered her art kit back in school. The palette. The dozens of brushes. The smock she wore when she worked.

She took a deep breath and went over to the paints. She peeked over her shoulder and saw that the clerk was helping another customer. A tube of burnt sienna oil sat on the shelf, and she twisted off the cap and inhaled deeply. The sharp smell sent to her to another time and place when her heart was open to so many possibilities. She felt younger and free sniffing that little tube of paint in the middle of the store.

She grabbed a shopping basket and started loading it with paints, brushes and canvases. She imagined sketching out the A-frame log cabin, then choosing just the right shades of browns and greens for the trees surrounding it. Maybe a scene with the rowboat. And Henry. His eyes and hands….his lips on hers…

A surge of hysteria hit her. She set down the basket and pushed her way out of the store, her arms wrapped around herself. She wasn’t ready to paint again. And she definitely wasn’t ready to trust a man again, certainly not a man who was only trying to make a sale—at any cost. Even if that included her heart.
