Iceberg 3, Scarlet 7: Sleet
Author: Kat
Title: Sleet
Story: In the Heart
Colors: Iceberg 3 (sleet) with geena's paint-by-numbers (What was once a calm and peaceful refuge/Is overtaken by spleen), scarlet 7 (Death, taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them.) with kana's paint-by-numbers (It's easier when you don't see me standing on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit here still)
Supplies and Materials: Canvas (Aaron is about two), miniature, beading wire (lonely ship), feathers (After Years), novelty beads (Think of the radio).
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Summary: Melanie's helping him pack.
Warnings: none. Well, signs of impending divorce.
Notes: Memefill for Sara, "putting away clothes." One of these days I'll write something happy for these two.
'Wintery mix,' they said on the radio, but Melanie calls it like she sees it and that is sleet, the kind that burrows under scarves and leaves liquid ice down her spine. So of course Nathan's leaving today.
She's helping him pack. She doesn't know why. She wants to clutch at him and beg him not to go, but here she is folding clothes and handing them over for him to put in his bag, mechanically, shirt, pants, jacket.
"How long will you be gone this time?"
He shrugs, doesn't answer.
Sleet patters against the window, and Melanie grows cold.
