And there she was—! The ever lingering scent of summer on her hair, the sun kissed her on the cheeks, the queer look in her eyes mischievously taken him in.

Oh, is that man, oh-so taken. Taken by the vexing winds that enraptured the two so.

Blasphemous! The elders would spit onto the cheeky couple, whose breathlessness mingled in with the love shared upon them. The love-stricken fools see no hardship, forgoing the ridicule in the passerbys, as if fate dictates they be in love.

Those are such tales told by mouth.

Donning a simple summer dress, stretching in big strides unflattering her femininity, a dainty figure; Juliet Erine Sherbet is nothing but a man in a woman's skin.

The field stretched out into a hectare or two, the landlord had hired all the manpower he could afford. None is left jobless, thus having a dinner to eat, and a happy family in the house capable of paying tax, more income for the landlord.

Oh, how could Joshua ever forget. Four years since he met the pampered, brazen girl. Three since he changed her, and fell in love. Two since she had been engaged to the mayor's son.

And one year, since Joshua quietly receded from the blossoming spring of his beloved.

The retreating sun in the West, the curled up clouds scattered on the sky appeared like an injured heart. Bloody red seeped out from the arteries, invaded by the dark hue. Night quickly ruled over its rightful territory.

The landlord's dog barked after sundown, the population of a few hundreds rejoiced, scurrying off to where their individual items were.

Many were exhilarated by the week-long break laid for the preparation of Fiesta de Santa Elena or simply Saint Elena, their patron saint of their humble town.
