"I'm so sorry, Karin-chan!"
"If you're alright, then it's fine Sena-kun."
For the tenth today Sena had apologized. He was even bowing on the ground. Earlier, he had entered the house to pick her up for a date. Karin had forgotten to clear out her painting supplies, so it was of little surprise that Sena had stumbled and fell.
To his horror, one of his hands had come in contact to the canvas. His handprint smeared the street and walking couple depicted in the painting. Ever since, he had been apologizing.
She had been more worried that her mindlessness had injured him. Frankly, she hadn't been too happy about the painting, but now she saw some potential. The handprint mixed the portrayed ground into a plethora of colors and smeared the pair. She thought it made a far more compelling piece.
With a gentle smile, she softly kissed him. A shocked look appeared on his face.
"I like it the way it is."
The painting won second place in the Abstract Art portion of the Regional Art Competition.
