World Map

Eliza looked up an address on her phone, and the world map in the app rolled toward her to show her where in France she was. She looked up from the front door, and Oscar stared down at her. She rolled her eyes. He had been looking at her since the night before, and she […]

The Games They Played

Emmanuel took Eliza deeper and deeper into the darkness. Her lips were swollen on her face and between her thighs, as she followed him. He squeezed her hand, and they were both panting. But she never thought to stop him, she never thought to let go of his hand. She just followed him literally blindly. “Put […]

In the Darkness

Eliza watched Bibi play with a gorgeous pendant that was a family heirloom to Alessandra. Alessandra had taken it off of her neck when her daughter pointed to it, and handed it to the little girl. The night before when they had been driven to Alessandra’s house, Eliza had not expected the house to be […]

Primavera

Eliza had not had a night like this for a long time. Alessandra knew how to throw an opening party. It was a bit of deja vu because she and Oscar had been to openings together before, including the infamous one in Shanghai when they realized they were deeply in love… Tonight she danced with […]

Missed Connections

Eliza let out a deep sigh when she saw that they had missed their connection. It was the first time they were leaving to go somewhere in a long time, and their flight was delayed in New York. Now she and Jeanne sat with Bibi. If Jeanne had not encouraged her, she would not even […]

The Forest

“So you are totally still in love with Eliza,” Alessandra smiled as she pulled off her blouse, and looked at Oscar. She picked up her phone, and took a picture of herself. She studied him as she played with the effects on Snapchat for her image. She was careful with her social media. Topless nudes […]

Framed

Eliza looked at the picture in the frame. She had been so surprised when she got the print from Alessandra Wagnall, because she had followed her career for a long time and the print was one that she had admired. Oscar got it for her as a gift right after her miscarriage, and it was […]

Present

Rafe held Bibi close to his knees. She was looking at Eliza who was playing with her daughter’s hair, and otherwise engaging the little girl making her giggle. He was pretty sure that Bibi was the only thing that was keeping Eliza sane after the miscarriage. They had not been there at the time, but Oscar […]

Darkest Darkness

“Let me just be here with you,” Oscar held Eliza’s hand in the darkness, and felt her quake underneath his touch. He could not explain it, but he knew that he needed to see her that day. Their visit had started happily, she was glowing when he saw her and they sat and ate noodles […]

Retro: Blogger’s Choice

A friend of mine asked me for my blog address so she could get caught up. It made me smile that she wanted to get caught up, and I told her that I had been writing this story since 2014 (!!!), that it would be a lot to read and she still wanted to. And […]
