Chasing Risks

How many is too many when it comes to partners and people you love? Eleonora thinks there's no such thing as too many...

Eleonora - Ellie or Nora or Leo, depending on who's calling her name at the moment - has the exact life she wants. No seriously, she does. She couldn't be happier with her job at the bar she owns with her best friend or her fantastic sex life with her boyfriend, Lucas. Or...with her girlfriend Theo. Hey, she never said it wasn't complicated, just that she couldn't picture it any other way.

And, that's not to say that Ellie doesn't have struggles. Being proudly bisexual and openly polyamorous, she knows what it's like to be judged, to be written off immediately by a lot of people. But she's gotten used to it. So when Quincy walks into her bar - and then into her bed - she expects just that, another quick judgment about her followed by a fast goodbye. But somehow this gorgeous woman takes Ellie as she is, with all the baggage. And Quincy even wants more.

But Ellie isn't sure she has the time for more, for another set of feelings to consider. There are only so many hours in a day. Plus, she's not the only one who has opinions about Quincy. Lucas understands, he's always been the easygoing one. But Theo is pissed, and her jealousy flames higher and higher, threatening to burn Ellie's whole life down with it. And Theo does have a point, she's known Ellie a hell of a lot longer. So who is Quincy to walk in and take away more time from Theo and Lucas when their schedule had been working so well?

Ellie isn't sure anymore what's worth trying and what needs to just be let go of, walked away from.

Who is Quincy to Ellie, and is she worth risking everything for? Because that's just it. If Ellie can't find a balance, find a way to juggle it all while keeping everyone happy, then taking the risk could cost her the loves of her life.
