He followed her as they wandered through yet more kitchens and into the flooring department. She glanced over and inadvertently spotted a really dark wood floor that would look perfect with that kitchen. The kitchen was going to be plastered, not wood sided, so the kitchen and flooring didn’t have to go with the exterior logs. She could see this all flowing into the niche, a huge tobacco colored table. Warm tan leather sofas with a splash of color from throw pillows, a bright area rug. Warm, neutral tans on the walls. An accent of that same tobacco in the built-in shelves. Very masculine, very comfortable, but still enough color to be homey and nice for Marsha and guests. All of a sudden, the whole main floor of the house came together. She turned around, all set to talk him into the kitchen she liked, when she remembered it didn’t matter. This wasn’t her house. She wouldn’t be choosing any of the furniture. She would offer opinions to make sure his choices in cabinets and flooring didn’t clash and that would be it.

She turned back to him, “So, were there any rooms that really popped out at you? Any cabinet styles or colors you really liked?”

“Yeah, I found one I liked.” He turned around and walked back to the kitchen she’d admired. When he stopped in front of the kitchen she loved, she felt the hackles rise on the back of her neck. Before she could stop the words, she heard herself saying, “No, I don’t think this would work for you. Not with that house.”

“But you like it. I saw you. This was the only one that drew any sort of response from you at all.”

“Yes, I like the kitchen. But this is not about me. This is about you. You have to live and cook there. Well, live at least. Marsha has to cook, but I’ll make sure she’s involved in choosing the appliances. Although, with a double oven, like this one, and the Viking cook top and fridge, you can’t go wrong. But the cabinets, color choice and style need to be what you like. So choose.”

“I did choose. I like this one. Although, maybe a different color countertop. So, let’s go find somebody and we can order what we need.”

She actually agreed with the counter comment. She would go with concrete, done in a dark warm color. To offset the distressed antiqued white cabinetry. Wait, no…

“No, pick something else.” She knew she sounded childish, but for some reason having him choose her favorite kitchen upset her. Maybe she would redo her kitchen when she got home, then she could justify it. Although, her house was really too modern for the antique kitchen. But she would not let him choose that kitchen.

“I will not pick something else just because you say so. Why should I? You told me to pick what I liked, and this is it. Now, find a sales person so we can order it!”

They were standing in the middle of the store, and their fight was escalating.
