Wicked Wednesday #318 — Recreate

It was not a scene Eliza had ever intended to recreate, but there she was alone in a hotel room without her engagement ring.

Again.

It was the second time she took off her ring, and meant it.

She did everything all over again with Rafe, threw the ring at him screamed so much that her throat was sore but her eyes remained dry.

There was nothing to cry about.

And then a text from Terrence broke her reverie, and she thought that she would be nauseous. She felt like he was bad juju, that if Lila had never texted him she would not be in this place.

Alone, and wanting to be that way.

She put her phone facedown, because she kept seeing Terrence’s name.

Why was it that she had just called off her engagement—again—but she was upset about Terrence—again?

When she heard a knock at her door, she pinched her thigh because she had forgotten to turn off her GPS location so at the door could be a number of people who had access to where she was. Eliza could not pretend that she was not there, but she took her sweet time getting up and opening the door.

Terrence.

“Did you mean to visit Lila?” she practically spat, and was embarrassed by her vitriol.

Terrence looked at her puzzled, in the way that he did that was boyish and sexy, but right now she felt nauseous as she looked at him.

“What?”

She turned away from him, and heard him close the door behind him.

“Why was she calling you?”

Terrence’s expression switched from puzzled, to understanding.

“And the first thing is that I am involved with her again, right? I don’t have to lie to you Eliza. I thought we were honest with each other.”

“So now you are not seeing her?”

“No,” Terrence said stiffly.

Eliza chuckled darkly.

“Well good, because my ex is seeing her now so, I guess she cannot juggle you both!”
