Evelyn Green was the Head of the committee of happiness. It must be very ironic, then, that half of her life was spent trying to smile knowing the knowledge she knew from the last head. And when she learned that color was being restored to Remia as a result of the escape of the 4 residents, she didn’t know how to feel. She took her morning walk. She picked up her coffee from her friend Patricia. Patricia asked why Evelyn was so down today. “It’s so wonderful what they’re doing for us! I’ve started noticing the colors of all the things in town. Everyone else is doing it too! Did you know coffee is brown?” Evelyn knew that, but tried to act surprised. “I would have never- why did you put up the box, anyway? And why are people covering it up with concrete? It seems so evil!” Evelyn didn’t know what to say. “They have to go through very hard and unhappy challenges to get what we have. And we need to make sure everyone is happy, no?” “I guess so.”said Patricia. Remedy always had a knack for persuasion. “Phew. We got out of that one. But can I go to the bathroom?”, said remedy. “We had to hire you non-stop for the next few days before people stop asking questions. It’s because you’re one of our best earpiece helpers.” Said Evelyn after Patricia walked away. “Don’t worry, you’ll get your reward soon.” Evelyn turned off the earpiece because she didn’t want to speak of what she couldn’t speak. She really would have because she felt truly sorry for Remedy. But feeling sorry for people doesn’t keep the town from collapsing. She ran, then walked as not to look suspicious, then realized she could run happily and went for it. She rushed to the new restaurant, confiance, where her girlfriend Harriet was waiting for her. Harriet was the only one who knew besides her and the committee. She was dressed for the occasion tonight. They sat down. It didn’t show, but Evelyn could tell she was crying. “I’ve been crying lately.” Harriet had said it aloud. Everyone was turning their heads to Harriet. “Because of how lucky I am. To be here. With you.” Good cover. But then Harriet got down on one knee. “Evelyn Gloria Green, will you marry me?” She pulled out a rose gold ring. It meant something to them both. Rose gold was the first color Harriet saw. On Evelyn’s hair. They said yes. And it would have been absolutely perfect if they hadn’t both known what the timing was about.
