PENUMBRA HOUSE
* * *
Holly sees Ray standing on the front path smoking a roll-up. He is surveying the house. She still regrets their run-in, isnât sure he has completely forgiven her yet and joins him outside.
âPenny for your thoughts,â she says.
âSome of the brickwork needs repointing. See those patches under the ground floor windows.â
âLetâs do it.â
âThe brickwork is worth looking after.â
âThe façade is fine, isnât it? I donât like how the name looks though.â
Several houses in the road have their names painted in gold on the fanlight, and these look elegant. The letters here are painted thickly and âP e n u m b r aâ is inscribed in a semi-circle above the word âH o u s eâ. It isnât elegant at all. It is just emphatic.
Ray shrugs. âItâs only a name, Hol.â
âI donât like the way the letters are painted so thickly in black.â
He glances at her, and she guesses heâs struggling to understand why she finds this a problem. She recalls his comment that he is no interior designer. âIf we scraped the black paint off and repainted in gold letters it would look nicer.â
âWe can, but that will have to wait.â
âOf course, not a problem, just a thought,â she says.
Ray is key to achieving the renovation and she very much wants them to be friends again.
