Part I
When I was a kid, my mom would always say "Don't talk to strangers." Even now, my mom would always remind us not to trust on person's whom you just met a while before or on new acquaintances. Just like Elizabeth Green, it is not a surprise for me why she acted not to believe on how Logan Thibault came on their kennel just to apply for work and ridiculously not on working days but instead on Sunday.I also find it hard to believe if I'm on the situation of Elizabeth, on how a man walked a miles from Colorado way down to North Carolina just to live a simple life far from marines which he used to have.It is not wrong to think first about persons background before giving your trust fully to them. in addition I had a story connected with this too. Elizabeth who find herself falling in love with a stranger like Logan broke the trust she had given to him. When Logan lie to her, for the real reason why he reached Hampton. Hence, a single lie, broke up the trust and love that Elizabeth had for him. Just like what happened to Elizabeth. I had experienced it too, loving someone whom you trust lot that had caused you a lot of pain. I trusted that person and loved him, but I only knew that he had loved someone while we are still officially in our relationship. It really hurt to know that you had loved someone whom you doesn't even know his trustworthy and loyalty of his love. thus, I learned a lot from that experienced, it must go through series of test to whom you should give you trust freely to a person. Even if you know a person a long time or not, it is only you who can choose to whom you will give your trust. After all, "you must hold a grip on your life."
I admired Logan's courage to fin the woman in an old photograph just to return it back to whom it must be kept. But it did surprised me, what happened with his intention of finding the woman in an old photograph is that he fell in love with Elizabeth. Hence, if Elizabeth only knew the reason of Logan why he want to keep close to her, maybe she'll get mad to Logan. If Logan only knew that the old photograph was for Elizabeth's brother he may think he must be one of the marines being killed on the war and not Elizabeth's brother. Yet, I didn't find any quantifiable reason of having the old photograph that gives luckiness on Logan's life. I guess its only a twist of fate why Logan why Logan get so lucky from winning poker games and even the deadly combat. Furthermore it must have been the power of fate that leads them on same path of their lives. Then, the only problem that threaten to tear them apart is the secret behind Logan's purpose for living at Hampton.
It only makes me wonder why Logan didn't tell Elizabeth about the reason how he reached Hampton. Did Logan believes that the photograph is a charm of luckiness to him? I also couldn't believe hos their paths meet with just an old photograph. What if Logan didn't find the old photograph could be their paths meet? Would its just be Logan's curiosity that lead him to Beth?
Well, I think its not fate that lead Logan to Elizabeth, its only intense curiosity and human freewill that lead him to her. Its not only fates charm that leads him towards Beth but instead instead its Logan's wants to meet Elizabeth personally.

Diary entry of Elizabeth Green:
August 02, 2011
Dear sweet love,
I thank God for giving me a chance again to feel that I am still qualified to be loved. I mean I know its early enough to say that he do really loved me, but deep inside me say's it. It was a night of enjoyment with him.I go out with Logan literally a date, hence it maybe awkward to say, cause I had my son with me. But still it really feels so good and its like a wonderful date with him. Logan is a man of humor, kind and gentleman, yet i know I still shouldn't give my trust. After all, he is still a stranger.Yet, talking to him feels like natural and true. I cant' sense any sounds of lie and Ben find him nice.Maybe I still need more time to know him better. But still I find it romantic every time I'm with him, yet still theirs a warning sign on my head that keeps me on holding back.I'll do hope that the feeling will stay as it is. I'll hope on the stars to reveal to me the right thing to do. I do really feel I'm falling on him.

Dear sweet love,
I couldn't find the answer why Logan had lie to me. I had loved him truly and I never imagined that he will hurt me so bad. I couldn't bare the thought that what we had build for our relationship would be vanished. How could he kept a secret on me and act like as if he doesn't know anything. I felt so betrayed and mad. after all the things we shared through out this days was like a vivid memories now. I should have listen to Keith, I shouldn't trusted him. God help me what should I do, I couldn't afford of losing him. But he do lie on me. I'm so tired this day. Goodnight.

Dear sweet love,
What happened this past few moths was so fast. Loss was complicated. me and Ben both struggled of its, after effects. I felt sometimes that memories wreaked havoc for grieving, for despite heroism marked and reminiscence were not still rosy. But all was said and done. Keith Clayton would always be remembered, always in my heart with an equivocal gratitude. I couldn't forget how he carried me when I fell that day. Or that the end he died trying to saved our son. That counted a lot for me, Despite of his failings he's still a father of my son. I do hope that Ben would remember him that way, without guilt and knowledge of Keith's love for him, so elusive in his life to this point. May we lived without hurts from the past.
