She was always told who she would marry. She grew up knowing the exact age she would be when the marriage would take place. But then one day she saw someone she hadn’t ever seen before walking into the village. He was beautiful with bright blue eyes and dark wavy hair. She desperately wanted him to get to know her. She craved his attention. Soon enough the traveler and her became close friends. Soon he would leave, and she wanted to be with him. She told him. He couldn’t take her with him, but told her if she stayed awhile longer he would come back for her. She didn’t know how long it might take him. But she would wait.
