The Evermore Forest

Prologue:

Entry 271:
March 16

The two have been growing closer and closer together. It's been about 2 months since they met. They don't suspect I'm there at all, but I fear I might get reckless with my footing and get caught. They went to the glowing lake today, he picked out a flower near the river bank for her and placed it into her hair. The two chatted about their hopes and future plans. Every now and then they'd laugh and playfully throw water at each other. They're the perfect couple. It's like a cheesy stage play being recreated before my eyes... Is this considered stalking? I mean, I observe them from a far, listen to their conversations, and admire how they're fond of each other's company. I have no intentions in harming them, I'm just curious how their lives will turn out. I'd like to call myself an observer who writes down their findings each day. But it saddens me that I used to write down my day to day routine, my story. Now it's just a story book about a strange couple in a strange forest. What has gotten into me? ... Surely I shouldn't worry about this. Curiosity is something everyone feels at some point, right? Yes yes, I shouldn't contradict myself when I could be... not arguing with myself?? Useless, if I do say so myself. In fact, watching them is quite enjoyable. They seem so happy together. I wouldn't want to disturb them. I just hope I won't step on a branch or something one day and blow my cover. My break is almost over, I better hurry back town. Gah, I hope they don't question my dress constantly being grassy.
