Coreopsis 11 a
*Author’s note: I had been posting Coreopsis but stopped. I have a friend that said, “if you’ve read one Danielle Steele book, you’ve read them all.” I didn’t want to fall into that trap.

Coreopsis 10 – b
Sarah had only eaten half of her bagel. Orion just stared at it. “That looks so good. But I know what is going to happen if I try it.” He closed his eyes. She didn’t say a word. “If I hang around you, I am going to be around food?” “What was yourContinue reading “Coreopsis 10 – b”

Orion woke to find the porter sitting where Sarah should have been. “Welcome back.” Josh smiled. “Where is she?” He wiped the sleep from his face. “Exploring sir, she asked me to watch over you.” The train whistle blew. “Leaving already?” Orion groaned, “Where are we?” “Merentro, we areContinue reading “Coreopsis 10 – a”
Coreopsis 9 – b
After a long luke warm shower, Sarah wondered out to the little alley where the cars joined, setting on the steps watching endless miles of gravel go past.

Sarah was drawn away from her book by the sound of gasping. She got up walking over to Orion. He was sweating profusely. From the bathroom, she retrieved a pan of water and a washcloth, kneeling beside of him, gently wiping his face. “I’m so cold.” He shivered. “You might beContinue reading “Coreopsis 9 – a”

Once again the porter laid down the cloth, this time between them. He then uncovered the salad, laid out the flatware and poured the drinks. He sat out dressing and crackers. “Thank you.” Sarah smiled. “Come back in an hour.” Orion stated. Continue reading “Coreopsis 8-b”
