Polly leaned against the stack of books in Colin’s library. Watching him, she was happy that she and Oscar had taken a break. She was in Colin’s downtown New York apartment which was near the Strand, and thus he often got books there. In addition to his first editions and rare books—Colin could not resist […]
It was like shuffling a song moving from Rafe, to Oscar. But Oscar was always Eliza’s weakness, from the beginning. But when she was with him, the world faded away. Everything in her world, everything in his world… Everything was gone except for them. He pulled her to him with primal familiarity when she walked […]
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 […]
“So this is the end of the tug and pull between you and my brother?” Fiona asked Eliza this after Rafe had been called into the office unexpectedly, over her scrambled eggs on a rooftop. Picking up her mimosa, Fiona eyed her expectantly. Eliza wanted to question Fiona on her sudden devotion to Rafe, being […]
Polly was too refined to have a full out argument with Oscar that morning.

“It is all hormones with you and Rafe,” her mother had said to her, when she started seeing him. “That young man has something carnal about him, even I am not immune. Everything seems so pristine, his background, his family. But he is like a wildcat. Something that cannot be domesticated.” Eliza remembered how frank […]
Eliza’s fingers lingered on her lips. Sitting next to Oscar at the bar, her fingers remained still. She wanted to keep the warmth, wanted to keep the sensation…the sensation of his kiss there. She had forgotten, but now that he had kissed her again, she remembered every kiss they had ever had. This kiss was […]
Maybe because she was in a hotel room alone in New York was why…Eliza had been alone in hotels in Shanghai and Paris, and not felt like this. But being alone even in this plush boutique hotel room, reminded her of being alone in the hospital after the car accident. For the most part, she was […]
