Chapter 5 – Polychromatic

adjective

having or exhibiting a variety of colors

Color was never something that Isabella was afraid of.

Snakes, sure. Spiders, depends on the day.

Riding a rollercoaster at breakneck speed through downtown Danville with only a handlebar holding you in?

No. But that was a very specific example.

But color? She tried to fit it into her life as much as possible.

Her childhood room was filled to the brim with pinks and purples and every girly color underneath the sun. Even in college, in despite of the dorm regulations, she managed to make it pop...with a little help from her boyfriend's instant color changing paint.

Yeah, she definitely wasn't a stranger to it.

But this...this was amazing.

"So, what do you think?"

Isabella and Phineas had hopped on a plane that morning to an unknown destination. Phineas wouldn't give her any hints, only that she would love it.

And as she opened her eyes, the beautiful mountains of Peru filled her vision.

There was almost an infinite amount of color as far as the eye could see. From their vantage point, the sunset just peaking over the far mountain only made them more vibrant.

"Phineas, get my camera! I gotta show Mom!"

"You have so much stuff in here!" Phineas laughed, putting his backpack on the ground. "Where is it?"

"It might be at the bottom, underneath all of your notebooks."

"Here, hold this while I dig in here."

Isabella was not looking as she reached behind her for the item in his hand. It definitely wasn't a notebook. Or her camera. Or his camera.

She brought it up to her eyes. It was a small felt black box-

Oh no.

She whipped her head around to see a giant grin on his face, his body still down on one knee.

"Are you going to give me that back so I can do this properly?"

Shaking, Isabella handed the box back to him. Phineas slowly opened it...

And that moment the famed Rainbow Mountains of Peru paled in comparison to the beauty that was inside.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: As some/most/all of you have probably noticed, this is not "tomorrow".

Have some difficulties with this one. Wanted to do a different pairing, but hey. What can you do?

All in all, this was a good exercise for me. I feel like in terms of writing, I'm in a good place. I have to, obviously, get somewhere better in terms of an upload schedule.

Read and review, if you like. Until next time.
