Weekend Word Prompt "Glacial" 6/16/19

Her eyes said it all. They were a brilliant unnatural blue, and completely glacial. I knew my attempted overture was being rejected and without any excuses or reasons. She felt no compunction to offer even a crumb to me. It was those eyes. I felt more contemptible the longer I dared hold her gaze. "I'll show myself out." Shutting the door, I knew it was forever.

But then I saw the toolbox. Empty, but still. Then the ball. The magic ball I bought as art when I was 22 and had no idea of art was. Maybe I still don't, but it could stay.
