After spending most of the day in the arms of some girl I returned home before sunset. I proceeded to argue more with my father. He was so angry that had left before, especially since he had to explain to Sir Edmunds why I wasn't there. I decided that I would not take anymore, a packed up a few of my belongings and assured Kathy that I would see her soon, looked into the eyes of my crying mother then pushed my way past my father and stormed out of the house and into my first taste of freedom.

I decided that I would celebrate my newfound freedom at the tavern tonight, so that is where I headed. On my way to the tavern a young woman caught my eye, she was beautiful. She had long dark hair that seemed to catch the sunlight and shine a beautiful auburn even in the fading day. I was going to approach her when she was approached by a different man; he was short and dressed oddly with a funny looking hat on. The girl seemed deep in thought when he approached her, she looked up at him with a look of relief and even slight irritation, after exchanging a few words she flashed him a brilliant smile that made me more jealous than I care to admit, because it wasn't directed at me. They turned and walked off deep in conversation. She never even looked in my direction. I would have given anything for just a look and maybe even a smile from this girl, my plans would definitely have changed, I would never have set foot inside another pub or tavern if she would have flashed me that smile in my direction and let me at least think that she cared for me. Who was I kidding though, she would never care about me, so I turned on my heel and headed to drowned my sorrows at the tavern under the pretense of celebrating my new found freedom, and I felt for sure that I would find some willing girl to help take my mind off of that majestic creature with the brown mane that shown auburn and the perfect smile that could melt the heart of even the most ruthless of men.
