Just a peek couldn't hurt. Right?
Astonished at how bright the afternoon sun had become on such a cold winter's day she collapsed on the stairs to gather her composure.
Some strange thing was taking her over...

Bright, bold, life-affirming COLOR!
All it took was a breath of fresh air and she was no longer ashamed to sport flowers in spite of the frozen ground. Unabashedly she stepped down the walk and out onto the street, the vibrancy of her apparel seemed to thaw the icy air around her as she walked.
