In Her Eyes: Chapter 23 & 24
The come down was hard and exhausting. We had what seemed like a constant barrage of questions and procedures, I don’t know about Taryn, but personally I was fed up of having to speak to officer after officer over the mess that had become our lives. On the nights when the buzz had died down,…

In Her Eyes: Chapter 21 & 22
To say that my birthday/engagement party was the celebration I had been missing out on all these years is an understatement! The Brownstone hadn’t seen so much activity, people and laughter since Robert and I were children! As we circle the room and socialise with some of our closest family and friends, I am overwhelmed…

In Her Eyes: Chapter 19 & 20
Chapter 19 To say the next few weeks were tough, was an understatement, I spent less time at the office and left Taryn to manage that aspect, so our patients didn’t feel the impact of the change. I spent my days in and out of meetings, with lawyers, investigators and tax specialists, all the while…

Chapter 17 We were afforded about three full months of bliss before the first test to our relationship came and this time it was from someone neither of us expected. Leelah. As the time passed, I introduced Taryn to Lee, figuring as I’d be helping her out as best I could once the baby arrived,…

In Her Eyes: Chapter 11 & 12
Chapter 11 The next few days at the office were a complete blur to me, Taryn and I went on as if nothing happened; avoiding each other like opposite charges on a circuit, but every time I caught a glimpse of her, the hot flashes began. I didn’t know what it was, but she…

In Her Eyes: Chapter 9 & 10
Chapter 9 I spend the rest of the weekend physically with mother, but mentally drifting to Taryn; I couldn’t get our last conversation out of my head. Had I upset her, did I say the wrong thing? Why did she leave? I debated between leaving a note or sending a text, but choose not to…

Stay Strong
Nobody said this would be easy, Keep your faith, that’s the key. This thing called love is tricky, When the easy route is to go left, go right, believe me. They say good things come to those who wait, But how long does it take before I can give up. Reminisce on how you became…

Waves
Missing someone is like waves. At times, it’s a slow ebb, creeping along the corners. Other times, it’s like a gust of wind, waiting to slap you in the face. Like waves, it slowly creeps in, back and forth until it reveals raw, untethered longing… Sometimes, the pain is a mere sting, a pang of…
