No matter how many different colors of paint Julian had, there was always one he was missing. Tonight he was trying to find the exact color of Emma's hair. He'd been working on the painting for weeks, and would have been done long ago if only he'd been able to find the right color. He'd mixed and darkened and lightened and no matter what he did, he didn't seem able to find that perfect shade of gold. Maybe it was impossible; maybe the way her hair glittered and shone in his heart was a side effect of Emma's personality and his feelings for her, rather than anything physical. But being an artist at heart, he had to at least try.
He'd been looking at the oil paints for several minutes now, and didn't feel happy with any of them. He thought maybe he could mix a couple of them to get close, but he wasn't sure that it was any closer than what he could come up with at home. Sometimes having a perfect eye for color was more of a curse than a blessing.
Sighing, he grabbed a couple of paint tubes in the hope that he could do something with them, and went to grab another brush, as well. Unfortunately, that aisle was rather crowded, and he had to reach in front of another customer to get the one he wanted.
"Sorry," he said, sincerely. "Didn't mean to get in your way."
