She wanted to escape into the beaches for their vacation. He disliked the sand and salty air.
So she made up their guest room in a beach theme with a sunny balcony overlooking the busy roads and traffic in the heart of the city. He had argued for weeks for a private entertainment den in their small home, but she insisted on pinks.

Its so tragic, Archana and such things happen in the flick of seconds. It makes us miss the loved ones who were with a while ago and what remains are memory. You’ve used the prompt in a very intelligent manner combining emotions with creativity.
