As ready as I can be

"Dewey don't sell yourself short. You are a brave, strong, and handsome man." Said Lea who face started to blush bright pink.

You smile to yourself then ask her, "What does handsome have to do with winning tournaments?"

She shook her head not wanting to answer your ask question. She then ate her food in silence until the end of the meal. Her father kept eating his food like a brute.

You clean your hands with a cloth piece of paper then said, "I'm going to bed early. I'll need all the rest I can get."

Jim nod and let you go to your small bedroom at the back of his house. You walk in taking in your surrounds. Your brown feather bed laying firmly on the stone floor. One of your windows having a big crack in it letting in the summer breeze. You lay down pulling off your clothes at the same time.

You begin your sleep.
