Fate

Bibi was getting so big, Eliza thought as she wrapped her arms about her daughter. Her mini version — that was what Rafe called her — did indeed look just like her and melted into her embrace. Looking at their reflections in the mirror, Eliza saw the uncanny resemblance between them and wondered what her new […]

Retro: Behind Closed Doors

Sometimes even an author is not allowed behind the closed doors of her characters when they are going through something. I know Eliza has been talking a lot with Oscar, but Cleo has been a little more elusive… This is a retro post from last year—what a difference a year makes!    Rafe smirked at […]

Retro: Cut the Cord

Has Cleo cut the cord with Cadmus with Him? Time will tell, here is a retro post with the two of them.   Cleo looked over at Oscar as he slept beside her, her discarded fishnets under her on the bed. She was restless. Her eyes were damp, as well as her temples. The state […]

The Truth

The truth was that she needed him. Even after she knew that she and Cadmus were over, Cleo still needed him in her life. She did not talk to him as much as before, but they still talked a lot more now that things had calmed down. Oscar did not seem to mind as much […]

Statistic

It was like deja vu for Oscar. This it was him who was showing up to Cleo’s to make sure she was okay, like Eliza had done for him a few days ago. He used his key which he was thankful that he had because, he was not sure that Cleo would have opened the […]

She had gone to Oscar’s to soothe him from his heartache, and instead, they argued about their relationship. Her unexpected jealousy over Cleo which she should have recognized earlier. They eventually ate in silence and embraced. They would […]

Twisted

Eliza went over to Oscar’s apartment, he sat on his couch with just a pair of pants and a t-shirt. Barefoot, he looked toward her walking into the apartment with a slight lift of his head. “Come in the kitchen with me…” she cajoled.  They had always liked to cook together. Eliza got all of […]

Blue

Eliza was startled when she saw Cleo in her office. She was walking by the other woman’s office when she saw Cleo in a blue dress, looking deeper blue than the deep blue dress she was wearing. “Cleo?” Eliza walked in, and Cleo wiped her face and nose with the back of her hand. It was […]

Surrounded

Eliza wrapped her arms about Cleo as soon as she sat down at the table, and then looked away from her. She could tell even from her periphery view of Cleo, that she knew her goose was cooked. There was nothing for her to say, but she knew that Cleo knew… All Eliza could see […]

Perseverance

Eliza tightened the scarf about her head, and looked over at Cleo and Cadmus. There was a smug smile on her face, because she saw them and she knew that they did not see her. It felt like a soap opera but it was her real life, and she was fine with that. There had […]
