8. a face in the crowd



 Eric hasn't been the same since Erica left. She said he was like being a lion in winter all year round in the mountains of Colorado. She just couldn't take it anymore. 

Not that he had abused her, but he did get moody and wanted everything his way. Besides, he loved his cabin and the great outdoors. Unfortunately, Erica was just the opposite. She preferred Denver and the up-and-coming shopping districts. After all, she was looking to be an actress in an indie film.

Naturally, Eric did his bit parts in TV shows yet liked cinematography best. He almost made it big on a soap opera when he lived in New York City.  But he loved photography. He also adored the mountains. It was a hard choice to make, Erica or the mountains. 

He wished her the best of luck on her move to L.A. and hoped the next love he met didn't compare him to an animal.

  1. That made me laugh, the next love he'll have will not compare him to an animal.

    Goodbyes are hard.

  6. Eric and Erica -- I love the symmetry of these names! Even if their personalities aren't quite as symmetrical. :) I have to go with Erica, though; between the great outdoors and shopping, it's no contest! I wouldn't last with Eric the lion either. These face claims are spot on, by the way. Eric looks like the ideal artist/backwoodsman hipster! :)
