With him everything seemed to have that tinted glow. Not rose tinted. But as if viewed through muted yellow filters. The colours were richer, her laughter louder, her hair shinier and her skin glowed. Like the old Dove ad. There was something about that time made it seem as if everything was tinted with that slightly fuzzy happiness that made everything ok. It felt like a time shot in Vaseline shots.
And now the filters have changed. Everything now was a dull boring brown. Nothing was funny anymore. Not even her. How unfair that that glow went away with him. How unfair that he left and the brown came back.

That's downright racist! Calling the return of the brown unfair.
miss the jaundiced eyes? how about a pair of yellow shades off new market streets.
oh i know what you mean. i read it an i know exactly what you mean. and yes, it's bloody unfair. but judging by the comments preceding mine, does it only happen to women? the tints changing colours?
@ missionless and Jo: sigh.
@Rohini: thanks. and i think you have a point. How doubly unfair this.
