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 […]

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 […]

Dreams (Reprise)

If you have been following this series regularly, you know Eliza has been having a time of it– especially after last week! This week, she is on a hiatus, and I found an old Wicked Wednesday that also had a dreams theme! Eliza sat at the bar, her legs crossed as she nursed her drink. […]

Wicked Wednesday #338 — Writing

Eliza could not read the writing on the cocktail menu. She was so upset, she bit her lower lip to stop it from trembling. Rafe and her were not together when she had had her accident, so maybe he might have said something disparaging about her…but it still hurt to think he had talked about […]

Wicked Wednesday #332 – Pause

Before she met with Jeanne, Eliza had had a conversation with Ingrid and Rafe who were her support unit. They were like her surrogate parents, sitting close together and watching her with a smile. They had come to her neighborhood bar, where she had first been out with Jeanne. And Terrence. “So you have to […]

Wicked Wednesday #253 — Haunted House

Eliza was glad that Rafe suggested that they go out to her favorite bar. She put on one of her favorite cocktail dresses, and looked forward to seeing Josephine and Fiona. Josephine was her favorite bartender, and Fiona was going to join them after her shift.”I still think it would be so fitting for you […]

Wicked Wednesday #213 — Turn Around…

“I wish I could turn around and start over…” Oscar said, when he got into the car beside Polly. Polly stared at him, the way that she used to before they ever got together. Her haughty indifference, was worth far more than her acting hurt. The night before, she had spent the with Colin. His brand […]

Wicked Wednesday #212 — View

Eliza took in the floor to ceiling view from the bar. Josephine had just gotten off of work, and they were going to another bar which puzzled her.”This is the most sought after view in the city Joe, maybe we should just stay here?” Josephine stared at Eliza with exasperation, and she could not blame […]

Wicked Wednesday #210 — Choices  

“I know that I sound like a hypocrite,” Eliza said, settling into her nook with Oscar. “But it is a little weird for me because you know Fiona’s history.You know that she was…you know how she was in Shanghai…”Oscar stared at her when she said that, because Shanghai was their start and their finish until […]

Wicked Wednesday #209 –Opportunities 

Eliza loved every opportunity she had to be with Oscar, and she had to admit, she loved going to the bar and seeing Josephine. Even with all that was going on with Fiona and Alice, she really liked Josephine. She had left work a bit early, so she could chat with Josephine for awhile before […]
