“It could have been a catastrophe!” Sally exclaimed, her wide smile both warm and menacing at once. Eliza smiled, and took a sip of her cappuccino—they made sure not to have drinks this time so they could really have a conversation. The brocade curtains gave a Victorian feel to the busy Greenwich Village street. Eliza […]
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 […]
“Who was he?” Terrence had asked when he saw the look Eliza and Oscar exchanged in the stairwell, and now Eliza looked at Oscar. They were at their favorite bar, and Josephine was still there when they got there. “Long time no see,” she had mused while pouring them straight Laphroaig, the smokiness stayed in […]
Eliza was more deceptive about Terrence than she was about anything else. Even with Oscar, she had been more forthcoming in a way. But going to Paris with him, and going to see Severine and her new husband was something she had not expected doing. Or lying about to Rafe. It was odd how close she […]
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 […]

Eliza was going to make this work, because it had worked all along. It had worked before—they had worked before—she and Rafe before Margaux. And they would work, the three of them. She spilled champagne in her haste to get dressed in the lingerie shop and purchased the champagne-stained intimates, so they go out with […]
It was the two of them in the bathroom. Eliza sat on the toilet with her panties up, and Rafe sat on the floor at her knees. His head was on her thigh, and she clutched his hair, and closed her eyes looking at the unopened pregnancy test. She was nervous about telling him that […]
“I don’t want realism, I want magic! Yes, yes, magic!” Eliza was lying on her stomach, on her hotel bed in and out of sleep, watching A Streetcar Named Desire. She wanted magic too, she was desperate for it. When she first met Rafe, it was magical she had believed. Everything was magical up until […]
“I broke up with Rafe.” Eliza was on set with Marcus, on his new project Cowboy, Biker, Rope. It was racier than his previous endeavors. He played twins: a cowboy and a biker. They ended up in a dark scheme to abduct a woman against their will. One of them falls in love with her, and […]
