Charlotte’s Mouth

Charlotte’s mouth intrigued Sally. Her baby daughter would suction her skin with her little mouth as she had no teeth yet, but she sucked so hard. And then her toothless smile, Charlotte was a happy baby. Sally felt happier with Charlotte than she had with Chloe because she knew what to do with her, and […]

Bouquet

“There is something different about you,” Calvin said as he kissed Sally’s breasts and nipples. She moaned because it felt good, and she liked having her breasts touched but they were a little sore. They had been sore when she was pregnant with Chloe too. Sally winced a bit when he touched her and he […]

Imagination

Never in her wildest imagination did Sally think that she was going to see Eliza and not want to throttle her. But things had changed, and she was standing in front of her and just smiled at her nemesis. Eliza returned her smile — but what else would she do with her daughter there? Sally […]

Like A Teenager

Sally looked at a picture of herself when she was a teenager. She looked so much like, or her daughter Chloe had looked so much like her.  Sally wished sometimes that she could go back to those times when she was young, and before all of the things that had happened to her had happened […]

Her Favorite Mistake

Calvin wrapped his arms about Sally. It was not a warm day, but it was not that cold as they sat on the ground by the calla lillies she had placed on the grave of her daughter. She had told him about Chloe, that she had died too young. But it was here that she […]

Retro: Reverie

One more retro post about Sally, and then we can continue the story: Chloe took a long look at her mother. She had of course seen pictures of her mother when she was younger, her mother had always been the youngest looking mom when she was a kid. The cool one who came to pick […]

Unrequited

Sally had been having a time of it.  After she tired of the unrequited love situation she had had with Oscar, she decided that she needed to move on. She had clung onto him after Chloe had died, but she realized that that was not helping her.  Plus being with him reminded her of Chloe […]

Retro: Behind Closed Doors

Sometimes even an author is not allowed behind the closed doors of her characters when they are going through something. I know Eliza has been talking a lot with Oscar, but Cleo has been a little more elusive… This is a retro post from last year—what a difference a year makes!    Rafe smirked at […]

Statistic

It was like deja vu for Oscar. This it was him who was showing up to Cleo’s to make sure she was okay, like Eliza had done for him a few days ago. He used his key which he was thankful that he had because, he was not sure that Cleo would have opened the […]

Valentine

Oscar took her out to a fusion pasta restaurant that she loved. Bibi was asleep in her stroller, her breathing soft and visible. Eliza touched her daughter’s lips, before she twirled some spaghetti on her own fork. This was her valentine from Oscar. He made a gesture for every holiday, and she enjoyed spending time […]
