 # `load()`
 
+Attaches relations to models that were **already retrieved** from the store. Use it when you fetched a collection without `with()` — e.g. because the relations weren't needed at that point, or the data comes from a cached query — and you want to add relations afterwards without re-running the whole query. This is the lazy-loading counterpart to eager loading with [`with()`](with).
