Just as you step into the spare bedroom, you feel a hand on your shoulder.
"You're silly, that's the room for guests. Since you're staying a while, you get to stay in the other room." Before you can retort, she pulls you out of the normal spare bedroom and leads you down the hall.
There's a closed door, a room next to her's that you've never noticed before. As much as you'd hate to sleep in a room right next to your aunt's, she nudges you along.
"Go on, the door isn't going to bite."
The doorknob is surprisingly warm when you touch it. Time itself seems to slow down as you open the door. It was as if the universe was trying to put off this action for as long as it could.
And as soon as the door was open, you understood why.
In one word, pink. The walls were pink. The bed had pink sheets and pink bars on the side. Even the weird table in the corner was pink.
"How do you like it?" Your aunt practically pushed both her and yourself into the room.
"It's um-" As much as you wanted to explode and yell at her for wanting to you sleep in the pinkest room in existence, you didn't have the heart for it.
"We painted it when we thought May was going to be born, and I just haven't had the heart to change it." There was a watery look to her eye.
Well, now you definitely couldn't get mad with her.
You set your suitcase down on the bed. It looked so out of place in this pink room, part of your mind told you it should be pink too. But you shook that thought away and opened the suitcase up. "It'll do just fine."
She smiled at you and gave a quick hug. "Well, I'll let you be to explore the room and unpack. I'll be making dinner. So be sure to come down in two hours!" She then exits the room, leaving you to do as you please.
