Chapter 22 So This Was Lara

• After taking a bath and soaking in the tub for longer than I had intended to I changed into a shirt, jeans, and Ludmilla brown coat which was my favorite. I stepped out of the cabin, and closed my eyes for a moment, reveling in the warmth of the morning sun touching my skin. It is so soothing, especially after a not-so-good event yesterday. Anyone can feel much better when there are good sun rays around, especially at the sounds and smells of nature around.
• I walked over to Claire's modest house. When I passed by some folks outside their homes, they all turned to look at me. However, as soon as I turned my glance at them, they instantly looked away as if to hide it.
• I was mentally bored by their actions because that was the reason I agreed to stay here. after texting my sister last night to say that I would follow her advice and wait for them here, I took out my notepad, which I always carry with me wherever I go. I write down all the words that intrigue me as well as any gestures that I observe among the locals. They must be curious to know more about me because I am an outsider, yet their stares hold more to it, more reason.
