Neil loved to watch her from the shadows, leaned against walls trying to be invisible. It didn't always work because at times she'd past by and gave a wink, a slight wave of her fingers, but nothing was ever said. She was city, refined, classy a somebody in this world. Even though he was now a doctor, years of schooling across the ocean away from family and friends for years, he knew society won't easily accept him. Just a backwoods hillbilly with moonshine and inbreeding was all the public would think or care to know.
Watching her Neil thought of finding a job in the city letting go of his mountain roots to have a life with her. He knew he couldn't abandoned them, they were the reason he decided to be a doctor; to help those who society forgot about. He'd have to stop watching her no matter how beautiful she was and asperity of changes she entered into his heart. He had to have return home.
