Dinner Party

Rafe smirked at Eliza, and she stuck her tongue out at him. Her focus was on setting the table for their intimate dinner party. She and Oscar had talked shortly after seeing each other in the cafe. He needed to know that she did not judge him, and she needed to know that they were […]

Another Song

Eliza decided she was going to sit there for another song, and then she would leave the cafe. It was so hard to leave for the moment. She could not stop looking at Oscar and the Sally lookalike. They were the most striking couple there, and she was not the only person looking at them. […]

At the Center

Eliza started taking yoga so she could find her center. Lying on her mat before class, she closed her eyes and tried to block out all of the things that had been going on with her and around her. Therapy and yoga had been a very good balance for her. When she opened her eyes, […]

Double Betrayal

Sally had done everything that she needed to do. Her emotional survival depended on it, and she had headed to New York where her life was going to begin again she had hoped. She was wrong, so very wrong. But could she even be mad, when she had had her own secrets? Oscar looked at […]

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….

Rituals

It was their ritual, Sally would wait for Oscar in his lobby even though she had keys for his apartment and was practically living with him. She worked from his place often. This evening, she was sitting in the living room staring out at the gorgeous view of New York City that she had from […]

Anytime You Need A Friend

After going to see Oscar’s friend—and lover—Sally was happy to get a call from her own friend. She was not in tears, but she was really overwhelmed by her conversation with Eliza and needed a friend. “Sal? You are not okay, what is going on?” Mia asked her. “Everything M, everything.” “Did Oscar find out?” […]

Elaborate

“Can you please put the knife down?” Sally questioned softly, as she studied Eliza. It really was only then that Eliza realized that she was holding the knife menacingly. “I-I had someone come into my apartment and they tried to…” Eliza began to explain. “I know, I feel like I know everything about you because […]

Blindsided

Eliza had just wanted to be home alone that afternoon. Rafe left after a really lovely night, and she needed the morning to recuperate. She was deliciously sore and content. When there was a knock on their apartment door, she was startled. She grabbed a knife from the kitchen because after the last time someone […]
