Divulging Details of a Hot Night

“So, how did it go with Kelly at the party?” Jeanne asked, watching her sister intently. Eliza smiled.  Jeanne was nervous because she had interviewed Kelly, became friends with her, and introduced her to Rafe–her brother-in-law. She had never expected that Rafe would get so close with the influencer. But he did.  Divulging details of […]

Influencer

Kelly was Jeanne’s friend. His sister-in-law had done an article on Kelly as an influencer. Rafe knew Kelly, she was gorgeous and all over with the globe and media with her luxury lifestyle. He knew her right away, sitting at the bar that she was paid to sit at and look beautiful. Her waist-length ponytail […]

Film Star

Eliza watched as Alessandra walked from the back of the gallery, still tightly holding Leon’s hand. They looked at each other, and for the first time in a long time, there was no animosity in how they looked at each other. Eliza wondered if finally the war was over and they would be able, if […]

Promotion

Leon’s sudden promotion from friend to boyfriend had been a surprise to Alessandra.They had been living in a bubble with their relationship since they went upstate, and now they were on display for the first time. The gallery opening was their first formal event. Looks of surprise did not go unnoticed from people like Rabekkah […]

Ambition

Leon was overwhelmed by Alessandra. He did not understand how a woman like her did not understand how amazing she was. Everything she touched turned to gold. As he walked with her, everyone looked at her like she was a goddess. Her long, dark hair was out and she wore a short black jumpsuit that […]

Mirror

“I think Alessandra is your spirit animal,” Rafe said as he poured vermouth into their mason jars, and Eliza stared at him agape. “What are you even saying?” she said, taking a sip of the vermouth and taking in its herbaceousness.  Her husband looked at her, taking off his apron. “I mean, I think she […]

Dear Diary…

“You are too worried about this Eliza,” Oscar said as he put his hand around her wrist gently and she looked up at him from her phone. His eyes were soft as he looked at her but serious. There were new pictures of Alessandra and who Eliza knew was Leon together on Instagram. She knew his […]

Belonging

Alessandra threw the last of their belongings into the back of Leon’s truck. Half of the reason why she agreed to go with him was that he offered to drive her to the woods. He closed the truck and looked down at her with a soft smile. What had happened between them made everything so […]

Silence

In silence, Leon took Alessandra’s hand, and she squeezed his elbow. It was not like they had never had sex before, but they had never made love before. That was what this was. The anticipation ran through her like electricity, and she felt the tension in his body too. Excitement and maybe trepidation? She kissed […]

Wilderness

Alessandra needed to clear her head. Her life was the stuff that artists live for–her distress and agony fueled her work. But it was too much at this point. She needed a detox and decided she needed nature.  The wilderness. When she met Oscar, there had been chemistry and they had both been into it […]
