After the Silver's had moved into their new luxurious house, Austin moved to the next part of his plan.
"So, I was thinking about keeping this a secret from Alora." He told Lorna. "Can you do that for me?"
"Of course." She was still reeling in the shock from Austin's proposal.
"Thanks mum." He hugged her and gathered the kids around.
"What do you guys think about going for shopping?" He asked. "I want us to paint our bedrooms. Maybe buy some posters for the wall."
"Yay, painting." Zeke ran to his father. "Can we go, please?"
"Sure. Don't make any trouble."
"Okay, we are going to buy some paint." Austin passed some buckets of paint. "Preferably oil paint. What colors should we get?"
"I want to paint my bedroom like the night sky." Zeke said.
"I want my bedroom to look like a night in Paris." Ally jumped up and down.
"For a night sky effect in a Zeke's bedroom, we will consider using a dark blue or midnight blue as a base color and then layering it with various shades of darker blues and purples for depth."
"We can add specks of white or light gray to mimic stars using a sponge or a flicking technique. There are also specialty paints available that create a glow-in-the-dark effect for stars, adding an extra magical touch to the night sky theme."
"You know a lot about painting, don't you?"
"I used to paint before." Austin turned to Zeke. "Midnight blue or dark blue?"
"Midnight." He picked a can of midnight blue paint.
"The staff can help us pick the best quality paints." A redhead girl ran to them and took the can from Zeke.
"We need darker shades of blue and purple. Let all the paints be oil based and not water." He walked around with the girl following behind him. "Excluding the glow-in-the-dark paint. I want it to be light gold and white."
"That's so many cans of paint Sir." The girl exclaimed and called a couple more people to help her.
"We just started."
