The glaring white of the wall was broken up occasionally with brightly colored art. One of these pieces was a tree that was created using big plastic looking stickers.
Lara ran her fingers along the smooth sticker. It was matte and smooth, feeling more like velvet than plastic.
She liked the tree, but did the flowers have to be pink? It ruined the relaxing feeling the tree added to the room. The pink was energetic, perky, feminine-- everything that Lara was not.
Interspersed among the brown and pink branches were bits of mirror in the shapes of flowers, branches, and owls. The mirrored elements clearly were from a different set of stickers, but they fit. Lara could see distorted reflections of the room behind her in the mirrors.
Catching a glimpse of her own reflection, Lara quickly looked away. She fingered a mirrored flower. The edges were sharp, and the flower was hard. Her fingers caught on the polished surface, leaving a smear and a fingerprint to mar it.
Ah yes, these flowers were more Lara's style.
