“Late night. Forgive me.” We laughed and made space for her. She hugged me quickly, then winked at Gabe. “I brought backup sugar.”With everyone ready, we left the Noir Flame and split into two cars. Noah, Brandon, Gabe, and I in one; Amanda and Desmond in the other. Our first stop was the wallpaper store a sprawling warehouse nearly an hour away. Brandon and Gabe insisted it had the best selection, and I agreed the moment I stepped inside. Every interior decorator’s dream stretched before me: row upon row of textured, patterned, and earth-toned wallpapers.

The tension was beginning to tell on him and he was desperate to move me and my cousin away from one another. He pushed the wheelchair outside the room with Sarah following closely behind us. I was still angry but the site of the house outside my room was something that took my breath away. The entire house was painted white and gold.

Her muddled brain wondered. She squinted her eyes at the worse-for-wear roof, trying her hardest to figure out why that picture screamed the word ‘WRONG’ in her head.

It was cream colored with old intricately designed wallpaper on the walls. A king sized wooden bed in the middle of a woman standing near the dressing table brushing her hair. "Jee Meri jaan" Her steps halted. She turned around to see a woman. Her face constricted as she gazed in the floor length mirror. Her eyes squinted. The same woman fr

This combination of colors is repeated throughout the floors of the house. The tall, heavy, varnished wood doors have as the top panel, colored glass panes of amber, blue and pink, in a geometric design.
