It was not awkward, but Eliza noticed all of the differences in her body now that she was pregnant. She had had a lot of nausea in the first month and was tired all of the time. Those were the symptoms that made her check to see what was going on with her. She and […]
Rafe looked at the pictures of Chloe on the cover of her funeral program–it looked like a picture he would have taken of her when they went away together. She looked so vivacious and full of life. The body that he viewed looked beautiful but lacked her life and vivaciousness. Eliza held his hand while […]
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 her up to take her to fun places, but it was her grandmother […]
Chloe wrapped her arms about herself as if she felt frigid air surrounding her. A thought about her mother came like frigid air–but now she wondered if she was right? Chloe was lying in bed with Oscar, they were both so drunk after they left Talisman with Eliza and Rafe. Rafe had his driver take […]
Eliza saw red. In Talisman, she realized that she had been trying so hard with Chloe but that there had been no need to. Chloe wanted her to like her now, but her reasoning troubled Eliza deeply. Chloe was in love with Rafe—did Oscar see it? Her marriage was open, and fine she and Oscar […]

Jumping into the water to skinny dip with Rafe was only the beginning of their experience together. Over the course of the weekend he had gotten to her core. It was not just that they made love all weekend, and that he got to her core literally either. Lying in bed with him, Chloe felt […]
Chloe enjoyed the drive out of the city with Rafe. He suggested taking her to this place outside of the city so they could be together…alone. When she had a crush on Oscar, that crush was exactly that a girlish infatuation. But when they got together, and when she met Rafe after this was authentic. […]
Eliza felt like the luckiest woman on earth. She and Oscar had ended up in the cafe where she first saw him with Chloe. She wondered if it was a haunt of any of the guests that had been there that day—who might have seen him chase her into the bathroom then? Today would be […]
Chloe swung her hips delicately to the Amy Winehouse version of “Girl From Ipanema,” while they were at Retreat— a new pop-up bar created to promote a PR campaign her friend was running. Eliza watched as Chloe held Oscar’s hand, and bumped her hip with Rafe’s. Eliza and Rafe had been monogamous since they got […]
