May 25th
I didn't know my whole life was going to be affected so profoundly when I met
Laguna Loire. He just appeared on my doorstep, covered in blood, barely alive. No
grand introduction, no debonaire-like appearance. Just... there. I looked at him,
and the first thing I noticed, beneath his bloodied, mangled body, were his eyes.
Those eyes.. full of gentleness, and hope, yet also full of riddle and mystery.
So I took him in. And tended to his wounds. I couldn't just leave him there.. to leave
a dying human being, and not give a care in the world..? How can anyone do that? Damn
those Esthar Soldiers. Destroying people's lives in a mere second. I had hesitations
of tending this stranger.. Could he be dangerous to Ellone and I and to the rest of the
town? Mr. Barclay had already warned me several times about outsiders coming into our
peaceful town. Besides, I already had two people to take care of.. Ellone and I. I
didn't need another mouth to feed, another body to shelter, another person to care for.
How was I supposed to know he was going to stay? How was I supposed to know he had nowhere
to go? No family to see? No home to go back to? I was so scared...
He charmed Ellone with his playful ways and immediately won her over. I guess it's
nice to have him with us sometimes. The times when I can't be there for Ellone when she needs
some sort of father figure. Laguna seems to fit this position perfectly. He seems to possess
much love for Ellone. He makes her laugh, dries her tears, and protects her from any danger. He
also helps around the house. I laugh whenever I see him in my apron, scrubbing the floors or
cleaning the tables. Most men of the town wouldn't be caught dead doing 'women's work'. Speaking
of the town, some people still have doubts about Laguna, even though he has helped, in countless ways
of keeping our town safe from the monsters that infest it. Regardless of what he has done,
he was still an outsider... still unfamiliar to all of us... including me.
As as days, months, weeks passed, little did I know that every second I spent with
Laguna Loire I was slowly.. I hate to say it.. falling in love with him. What kind of woman could
fall in love with a man like Laguna? He snores louder than a thousand raging t-rexaurs, he always
leaves the bathroom light on, not to mention, hogs it every morning to do god knows what.. probably to
brush all that hair of his, and he's not exactly the most romantic Casanova you'll ever run into. So
WHY did *I*, a hopeless romatic, buyer of all hopes and fantasy-like dreams, fall in love with this character? I honestly do not have a sure
answer. It's just one of those things that you *know*, but cannot you put into words because it's
just not possible to. Maybe it's because of his uplifting tender spirit, his ability to give and not
expect to recieve, his subtle loving ways that only you'll discover, if you see with your soul, and
not with your eyes. Laguna possesses a heart of solid gold that's impossible to find in any ordinary man.
I'd never thought I'd ever find a person to share my life with. I often dreamt of living in a fairytale
world, with my Prince Charming appearing at my doorstep with open arms, ready to take me into his
beautiful castle in the sky... I only realize now that, my dream had unfolded before me, Prince
Charming and all.. I just needed to see it in another point of view.
Love,
Raine
