Her name was Tysha.
-
She was a wheelwright's orphan.
-
And she was hungry...
-
together we finished off three chickens and a flagon of wine.
-
Impossible as it seems,
-
there was a time when I was unaccustomed to wine.
-
I forgot how afraid I was around girls,
-
how I was always waiting for them to laugh at me
-
or look away embarrassed
-
or ask me about my tall handsome brother.
-
I forgot about everything but Tysha.
-
And somehow I found myself in her bed.
