Life is so good. Evangeline and I have been through so much together finally it looks like we are going to be okay. Evangeline can see! I’m training for the boxing match with Abbott, and if I can just compensate with my left hand, and win this fight it will be the start of so much more. Yeah I want the money. It will mean I can help the people of Angel Square and I can finally have the means to do what I want with my life. I was inspired to buy a gym one day because after prison it was my safe haven, and the place I got my shot to be a boxer. Yeah couldn’t get a job if I tried, but at the gym I got a contract and a shot at something more. I was fortunate.

Well I was really fortunate from the moment Evangeline walked into that prison. I didn’t know then how important she would become in my life. Now I know. Funny the romantic evening didn’t go as planned it went way better. Evangeline hesitant at first to take our relationship one more step, and I understood. I didn’t want her to feel pressured after all we had all the time in the world. I’m not saying I wasn’t happy she changed her mind, but if she hadn’t been ready for us…I would have understood.

Training more now than ever and was a little surprised how corny the promotion of my fight was but I know it is all about the publicity, and if I’m doing this and doing it right I’ll have to deal with the cornball things Vincent has to do. It was nice though having my mother and my Evangeline out in the crowd smiling proudly at me even Layla looked happy. I was glad I decided to announce my plans to donate part of my purse to youth of “Angel Square” I just want to give other kids like I used to be the chance for so much more. I might even ask Evangeline to set up a fund for the youth of Angel Square so that every time I win, they do too.

You know every morning I get up with a goofy grin and now it is so much worse, and that would be because of my “Tigre” Evangeline. She is an amazing woman, loving and compassionate and so sexy I have whistle in appreciation of this beautiful and sexy woman before I think about it, and the kicker she loves me as much as I love her. I panicked for a minute when she wanted more. I do too. Just not right now.

I need to do some things for me career wise, and begin to redeem my life and the tragedy I was responsible for when Hesser had my mind almost destroyed to do his bidding. Yeah I know it wasn’t all my fault but the fact remains I took a man’s life and I need to make retribution for that despite the circumstances. I’m not going to erase the past but I’m going to make sure that I make a difference with the second chance I’ve been given.

The added bonus will be seeing the smile of pride on Evangeline’s and my families faces, and then I’ll know I’ve succeeded. Don’t have any more time. I need to go to training. Yes life is good. I have a career about to take off. A good woman in my life I’m crazy about, and my family is doing pretty good, except for Adrianna. Antonio said he would keep me up to date about her and let me know when she’s found. I’m hoping she just went away to think and everything and she is okay. I’ll say a prayer she returns safe. Off to training and on to preparing for the fight, and yeah life is pretty good.

It's late I stayed at the hospital as long as Evangeline let me. She insisted I go home and get some rest. Nope she didn't share the chocolates, but the tortilla's were shared. I've never laughed so much in my life. We have so much to share, to enjoy. I know I'm way too happy. I'm looking foward to the fight, and mostly taking her home.

We've both spent far too much time in hospitals. I didn't tell her about my proposal for taking a trip later, didn't have time. Too busy just looking at her, loving her and thanking God she's been given her sight back. Evangeline is so funny, she can crack a joke and I'll have to think about it before it hits, she's smart. I like that about her too. She told me about Starr, she's worried for Todd and Blair. She's right that family has been through a lot. I feel sorry for them. I'd not wish Todd's or Blair's pain on any parent.

It did make me think about children. Evangeline's and mine. I wonder if they will look like her or me, or maybe both of us. Yeah I see kids. Not right away but I'd want maybe a boy or a girl. Doesn't matter as long as the kid's healthy. I enjoy my niece Jamie so much and I'd like to have a family of my own someday.

Well right now I'll just concentrate on getting Evangeline home, that fight and the rest well all in time.

Training has been brutal. Evangeline insisted she'd be fine now and that I should concentrate on getting ready for the upcoming fight. She said if she needed anything Layla would be on call. It was hard to leave her but she's right, I need to train. I've been working on strategies to compensate for my weakened hand, I hope it works. Off to shower and to visit the hospital. I promised Evangeline I'd come back later. She asked me bring her some chocolates, and some of Mami's tortilla's the hospital food sucks.

Evangeline is doing so much better. The doctor’s gave her a good report. I hope to able to take her home with me soon. The uncertainty is over. Now Evangeline can see and can get back to doing what she loves, helping people. Our prayers were answered. I still can’t believe how close I came to losing her, and I don’t intend to let it happen again.

I know we've been given a real gift, one she nor I will take for granted. Evangeline is my reason for smiling, for wanting to really live again. Evangeline will finally be able to see me in the ring fighting. I know if she’s there I’ll win. I feel it. This fight will give me the funds I need to help her pay Todd back. If I’m lucky I’ll have enough left over for us to take a trip. A nice long trip, Llanview is getting way too crowded. Maybe we can plan a short trip after my fight to celebrate her gift, and my victory. Yeah I think big, don't make sense to think you're going to loose, been there and done that. Somehow I feel with Evangeline in my life anything is possible. Anything.

I don’t know if she’d want to go on a trip, but I think we both could use some time alone. It would be nice to go to some nice secluded spot, no phones just her me and whatever we need to survive. I'm thinking Pueto Rico. I am. Just the two of us with no work, and no worries. Right now I just want her home and safe, and soon and very soon isn’t quite soon enough.

I finally got a minute to breath; I don’t see how Evangeline can take much more. She didn’t say it but she hoped that the operation would work, and so did I. Now more than ever I know that Manning isn’t going to go away he was way too emotional at the failure of the operation, and nasty.

Evangeline finally has taken the final blow, and I don’t know how yet to give her hope again. I do believe she will see again. Call it blind faith or just faith but I believe it. The best thing I can do for her is be there, and give her what she needs, time, space a comforting hug and words that will ignite her fighting spirit. Evangeline is a strong woman but even she has her limits.

Manning has to be checked, and fighting him isn’t the answer. I need to make sure Evangeline can pay him back as soon as possible. Hey I know my hand isn’t good, and it may cost me my future as a painter. I get that. However Evangeline comes first and I’m not going to think beyond the fact that I can win this fight. This boxing match will allow me to help her pay Manning back.

I see this as a struggle between her soul and Manning’s deep obsession. His eyes look deadly today, and his only goal no matter what is to get her sight back, and more if his continued insertion in her life is anything to go by.

Yeah I did call a truce by giving Evangeline my word not to engage Manning, but I will protect her in any way I feel necessary. Manning can come at me, I can handle it. But his emotional outbursts need to stop. Evangeline believes in him, and I won’t let her know about Manning's and our bad blood right now. That can wait. The important thing is that she gets some rests and regains her fighting spirit. My job is clear to be there for her and only her. What ever it takes!
