Eliza had just wanted to be home alone that afternoon. Rafe left after a really lovely night, and she needed the morning to recuperate. She was deliciously sore and content.
When there was a knock on their apartment door, she was startled. She grabbed a knife from the kitchen because after the last time someone came to their apartment with the desire to KILL she was more anxious.
She saw a woman through the peephole that she knew was Oscar’s Sally, because he had shown her pictures of the very beautiful, curvaceous woman that was standing outside of her apartment.
Eliza did not open the door.
Yes,” she said, her anxiety high.
Why was this bitch at her door?
Oscar and Eliza had had a semi-revival of their relationship and then Sally arrived. Eliza knew that she and Oscar would always be friends, that was not an issue. But the smoky way that Sally re-entered his life with barely an explanation to what had gone on before did not sit well with her, and she would be damned if Sally would ruin him.
Hadn’t she herself ruined enough of him? Oscar had picked her up, but she knew that she was more than he had ever asked for. He had been for her too…
“Eliza? You do not know me, I am—“
“I know who you are, can I help you?”
“Can I come in?”
Despite her better judgement, Eliza opened the door but did not let go of her knife.
Sally discreetly surveyed her. despite what her husband told her Eliza just before he left, Eliza was not dressed for company. Her kimono was floral and lovely, but not quite right for company she did not know.
She discreetly surveyed Sally, and did not let go of her knife. She was not going to be blindsided again.
