The journal will be written in third person. A little exercise for me to be less egocentric. The start of my romantic relationship with Claire was with this simple letter:
My dearest Light:
It's been a while since I have written to you. As you know, I am engaged with the man I love. Soon, I was supposed to be part of the Phantomhive Family. I'm scared to confess what he has been doing to us. Yet, I feel compelled and safe to tell you in this letter.
Ciel, our adored Ciel, I know he loves us. We are the perfect triangle, we need no more, we agreed to this. It's a secret nobody but our butlers know. Nobody knows Alois, Ciel and me, Clarisse, are in this situation.
Everytime I see him leave with sebastian, I know what they will do. An hour later, Ciel is red faced, agitated, sweaty...I know. I can see them from my window, giving eachother a sweet kiss from the garden.
Ciel comes back, does the same with me. He breaks my heart with his sweet lips. I can't stand it! I love him so much that I fear Alois and I shan't be enough. That one day his promises will be devoid of any meaning. His words numb and loveless.
I listen to his troubles and we depart to our respective rooms after our reunions. He still rests as I write this to you Light. Keep my secret.
With pain and anguish
Clarisse
Clarisse:
Leave! Come to me, I will protect you and you will be free, I promise. I can treat you better than they can, and you deserve a gentleman. Please stop wasting time and tears on this...I can be here for you.
Light
And to my surprise...she did.
