She is gone. She drove off into the night. Why is my heart beating so fast? She was an English person who needed my help, nothing more.
I would be lying to myself if I said that was all. She was beautiful, and she made me feel emotions I have never felt. I felt a strong need to protect her, to shield her from whatever harms have come to her.
She was nothing like any of the women in my community, sure they are pretty and alright to look at, and I am sure at the end of the day, any of them would make a fine wife.
None of them have made me feel like Riley did. I am foolish, I barely spoke to this woman and she has gotten into my head. I need to stop this, I will never see her again, she is gone and I have no way of contacting her.
Besides, my family would never approve of an English. They would be very upset with me if they knew I was having these types of thoughts. I should go home and forget Riley, she was just a dream.
