Fleur Friday No. 20 — Putting Out Fires

It was not until they were blocks away and settled into another dark bar, did it seem like Jeanne or Terrence was able to breathe. Spotting Rafe, and what had to be Eliza—her sister had told her that Ingrid was out of town at a conference after all. There it was, Eliza told her everything […]

Wicked Wednesday #333 — Purple (Bruise)

Eliza rubbed a minute purplish splotch on her thigh, that she had not know was there and Rafe promptly kissed it. And other places. She was pretty certain that they had sex more now that he was engaged to Ingrid. Ingrid went on a lot of conferences, and Rafe basically lived with her when she […]

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 #328 — Someday

Today was someday for Eliza. She listened to the click of her heels on the floor of her apartment, turned on the lights, and threw everything in her hands onto the couch. She studied herself when she walked into the bathroom. Her hair had grown longer, she had gained a bit of weight and she […]

Wicked Wednesday #327 — Lifestyle/Friday Flash No. 21 — La Vie Est Belle

Eliza was lying on the lounge chair on the roof. Rafe had taken her for the weekend to a very extravagant hotel, where only they had access to this part of the roof. She was naked, covered in sunscreen and catching all of the rays she could. He idly rubbed her backside and more than […]

Wicked Wednesday #326 — Love <3

It was all so familiar, everything was so familiar even though it was in a new place. The entire time that Rafe had been at her apartment taking care of her, they had only ever been in her bed the one time and it was a farewell. It had felt like farewell, but waking up […]

(Flash and) Fleur Friday No. 11 — Collaboration

It was an odd collaboration, but the flowing sculpture looked amazing transplanted in the cafe. All of them kept staring at it: Jeanne, Eliza and Ingrid. It was the first time since Rafe proposed to Ingrid, that they were not all staring at the diamond on Ingrid’s finger. Even Karys and Sabrina was obsessed with […]

Fleur Friday No. 10 — Nurse

Jeanne had not meant to walk into any of this, she was only there to support her sister. She started to go to see Eliza on her own, and she knew Rafe liked this because Jeanne was not afraid to take basic care of Eliza. She had taken care of her ailing mother and grandmother, […]

Wicked Wednesday #324 — Uniform

Rafe felt like he was in the middle of one of the melodramatic movies that Eliza had begun to watch on her iPad. She did not move a lot, but at the least she had stopped crying as much as she had been. He knew that she did not want him there, but she was […]
