Chapter 16 - RENOVATING ISOLDE’S ROOM
We did not turn the blue suite into a shrine.
We restored it.
Claudia’s furniture removed.
Isolde’s bed returned.
Books.
Stuffed fox.
Night-light.
The bathroom grab rail inspected.

“What color?”
“Green.”

We painted.

Professionals.
I tried one wall and made streaks.
