How long ago was it now?
How many years had it been since our little fling?
We lasted three days at most. But it was the best three days I ever had.
It went too fast. Both those days, and our relationship. Too much happened all at once and Riley left. Not a single word from him before he went away.
I loved him.
And he loved me.
We both knew it for months; cowardice and a fear of disobedience kept us apart. I never found out why or where he went.
I don't blame him. It wasn't the time at all for quickies and kisses in the dark.
What it was time for was something more serious. Less spontaneous.
I heard he ended up in university. Apparently he was on the photography course he always wanted. And here I am, without him and the closest thing being a client who shares his name.
I hope he's okay.
I wonder...
Will he miss me when I'm gone?
