Retro: Merry Christmas

This is an older Christmas post of mine that I always loved. It was inspired by the fact that that Christmas eve, I was in a car on a pitch-black road…I might need to revisit Polly and Colin again… Polly was somewhere between wake and sleep, thinking to herself that Oscar did not really know […]

Survival of Fortune

Oscar did not know how he was going to survive this latest romantic dilemma he found himself in. He had been in enough… Eliza… Polly…. Sally… Chloe…Chloe… This thing with Chloe had not been something he had expected at all. But Chloe had been full of surprises. He had not known about her at all […]

Wicked Wednesday #302 — Games

Oscar did not want to play games with Eliza. He took her to their bar, and Josephine looked at him because even now as hostess she had bartending intuition. Oscar gave Josephine a generous smile, that was far from how he had felt. Eliza had not observed the exchange, and when he told her about […]

Wicked Wednesday #298 — Time Travel

It felt like time travel for Oscar, when he left Sally and returned to his office. He had spent most of the afternoon with her and now he had a lot of work to do to catch up. Polly walked by his door, and he was happy that they had had an amicable breakup. She […]

Wicked Wednesday #288 — Whispers

There had been whispers, but it was face to face with Oscar that it was confirmed. “So Polly and I have broken up again.” he stated. Eliza looked at him with soft eyes across from the table, while she sipped a glass of Barolo. “How do you feel about it?” she queried. He ran his […]

Wicked Wednesday #287 — Muse

Today is the last day of NaNoWriMo, and I am following my muse. So here is a retro post of when Eliza and Terrence first got together… Eliza pressed her hand to her head. Life was wilder than fiction…she could not have made any of this up. She rolled from side to side on the […]

Wicked Wednesday #268 — Vintage Art

Eliza looked at her face in the mirror, she had tucked into the bathroom because instead of focusing on the vintage artwork she had come to see, she was hiding in the bathroom. She knew that she might have seen Polly at the sale because it was art that Polly sold. She knew that she […]

Wicked Wednesday #247 — Fifty

Eliza looked at Oscar sitting next to her at the bar. There was no way for her to avoid the feelings that she had for him.Even now. She had not seen him for awhile, his on and off again relationship with Polly was as complicated as hers with Rafe. Maybe that bonded them, or not, […]

Wicked Wednesday #238 — Preparation

Preparation for her upcoming wedding made Eliza nervous. Sitting at the bar by herself was so dèjá vü, of when she was first there lamenting over her fate. And she met Oscar. This time she was meeting Oscar, because she wanted to meet him. Oscar looked at her, as he slipped onto the stool beside […]

Wicked Wednesday #227 — The New Guy

Eliza pressed her hand to her head. Life was wilder than fiction…she could not have made any of this up. She rolled from side to side on the bed, at first not sure literally where she was– –in bed. –or where she was… …in Paris. She loved Paris, but she had not been excited about […]
