Retro: Happy Anniversary

Wicked Wednesday has changed my life in such an amazing way. I am thankful for Marie being a great host and friend and thankful for the journey over a large part of that ten years.  Here is a retro anniversary post to celebrate: The cursive blob on the piece of paper she was holding said, […]

Back in My Day…RETRO

I pulled up an oldie from the Eliza posts—from back in her day!!! I have been writing this story for almost 8 years! I love Eliza and all of the other characters who have bloomed from this tale. So thankful to Marie for hosting this and alllowing me to give these characters life.❤️   When […]

Happy Anniversary

The cursive blob on the piece of paper she was holding said, Eliza Hughes. Holding Bibi in her arms, her daughter fast asleep and Eliza was exhausted herself because they were finally back from Paris. She had not intended to stay so long, but she had had a good time. But she had to be […]

Missed Connections

Eliza let out a deep sigh when she saw that they had missed their connection. It was the first time they were leaving to go somewhere in a long time, and their flight was delayed in New York. Now she and Jeanne sat with Bibi. If Jeanne had not encouraged her, she would not even […]

Twisted

Eliza went over to Oscar’s apartment, he sat on his couch with just a pair of pants and a t-shirt. Barefoot, he looked toward her walking into the apartment with a slight lift of his head. “Come in the kitchen with me…” she cajoled.  They had always liked to cook together. Eliza got all of […]

Blue

Eliza was startled when she saw Cleo in her office. She was walking by the other woman’s office when she saw Cleo in a blue dress, looking deeper blue than the deep blue dress she was wearing. “Cleo?” Eliza walked in, and Cleo wiped her face and nose with the back of her hand. It was […]

Out of Character

Oscar was a permanent fixture suddenly. He came to see her often in the morning before he went to work, sometimes working from her apartment so he could see her and make sure she was okay. Eliza told him he did not have to dote on her–she was not porcelain and she would be fine. […]

Retro: Full Circle

This retro post is a perfect example of all the complexities of Eliza’s relationships… Eliza was happy that she was going to meet Rafe at his sister’s gallery opening. Meeting him there, she could blame her state of mind on jetlag and not having eaten. Quickly leaving her luggage at the coat check, she had […]

Wicked Wednesday #307 — Million Dollars

“You look like a million dollars,” Adrien said to Eliza as they settled into a Japanese restaurant reminiscent of their time doing so in Paris. They had eaten out a lot, and most of the time it was sushi. Eliza smiled, it had been very surprising to see Adrien. She knew his face instantly, but […]

Wicked Wednesday #306 — Travel (Flashback)

I totally am always up to challenge myself with a new prompt from Marie, whether it goes along with my story plot or not!!! This week however, I think to continue with Eliza’s story since she has done a bit of traveling…and traveled a lot mentally last week while she was having a cappuccino with […]
