Liz
“She’s a real free spirit. But good at her job so she gets away with it.”
He was happy his wife had found someone at work to be enthusiastic about.
“Her fashion is crazy but then she comes in one day and it all works and you’re staring.”
As the months went by, Liz became a talking point. “Don’t pull a Liz,” they’d joke, or, “There’s more Liz in you than you know.” “You sure Lizzed-up the night.” Their sex life got a boost.
But the Liz stories became increasingly harder to believe. Like the one about her blending a bandaid into Bishop’s smoothie.
It was time to meet Liz in person. He suggested to his wife they have her over for dinner.
“That’s a great idea,” his wife said before changing the subject.
He didn’t push the issue. Liz was bringing them so much joy. Who cares if she exists or not.
