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 […]
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 […]
“Are you okay?” Rafe looked at her when she walked back into the apartment. She was not okay. 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 […]
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 […]

“That was a lovely party,” Cleo said. Eliza had invited Cleo to her apartment. She liked working from home because it gave her time to be with Bibi, who she was holding up in her arms and she could invite colleagues if she liked. “Thank you,” she said kissing her daughter’s forehead as she did, […]
Eliza’s motivation when she invited Oscar over to the party, and in general up to this point was she had wanted him to be close to Bibi. She was not completely sure that he could not have been her daughter’s father but she knew how she planned on raising her. But Oscar had not resisted […]
It was her own fault, she had let it happen. It was Bibi’s birthday party, and the secret that Eliza learned was that that young it was really just an adult party. She and Rafe catered the entire thing, and there was flowing liquor which made everyone happier. She was starting to work from home, […]
