After three days of awaiting in the hotel room, Riley finally got able to join the camp and to say she was excited it was more than a statement. Besides the anxiety of starting again on a new National team, she was incredibly happy to be playing for the best team in the world with Calllisto on her side. On the couple of months without being able to play were a torture and the striker missed this routine of training, going to the field, run and just play around with a ball, enjoying every little second of it. This made her feeling like a child back in Calgary, juggling balls in the school's pitch. However, the player was frustrated to say at last. Since she got there, while the others were in the field, working with balls, the forward was trapped the whole day doing physical evaluation and other kinds of medical that she had lost in the first days of the camp.
It was how Riley ended playing in the hotel corridor while everyone was dining. The striker claimed going to rest earlier, just to be in the middle of the quiet floor, playing with a small ball, dribbling some chairs and using a coffee table as a goal. She had just scored when she listened someone getting closer, being sure it could only be one person. “It was not my best move, but a goal is always a goal right?!” She said with a large smile. “I knew you would be first to notice I was missing, I just couldn’t miss the opportunity of doing this. I feel more like a lab rat than a footballer lately.”
