I just love the way that the French seem to live- the three hour lunches in the south, the beauty of everything that they do or produce- not to mention the history. Give me a chance to travel around the country in my imagination and I'm there. ;) x Ella(less)

I was just inspired by the true story so much that I had to write about it. On top of that, I adore France and history, so it all came together that way. xx Ella (less)

“best things in life are mad, you know, darling. Instinctive,” he said. “You don’t understand that yet . . . but, in time, you will. That’s where the magic lies. And that, my darling, is what you are lacking in your life.” “What?”
Ella Carey, The House by the Lake

“And she wondered if that was one of the brutal things about life, that we did not appreciate how much something meant to us until we were under serious threat of losing it for good, and only then did we panic, only then did we understand the full implications of what loss actually was.”
Ella Carey, The Things We Don't Say

“And it struck her then, right here in that space, how little is left when we are gone. How insignificant we all are. This was, she thought, both liberating and sad. In some ways, she realized now, she had taken her life so seriously in the past. How much did it matter?”
Ella Carey, From a Paris Balcony
