Sophie picked up the jar and shook it to mix the strips of different coloured paper. Unscrewing the lid, she put a hand in, drew a red one and unfolded it.
‘What’s it say?’ her boyfriend, Adam, asked.
‘The zoo,’ Sophie answered.
They both glanced at the heavy rain falling outside.
‘Pick another.’
Sophie picked a green strip and read, ‘board game night.’
‘No. Let me try,’ Adam spoke.
He dug in the jar, pulled out a yellow one and they both read, ‘a box set day.’
‘Perfect,’ Sophie added, ‘Game of Thrones season five it is!’
