Ned and I continued to stargaze for a little.
Once it got a little late, I told Ned that we should go to bed. He was resistant at first, but after I chastised him a bit more, he agreed.
Although I was tempted to fall asleep in the courtyard, I also remembered I agreed with Mildred to work on the farm for some money. The only problem was that I had no idea where this 'farm' was.
As for right now... I still didn't feel safe to ask Mildred about that. I only needed to work on the farm in the morning, so I imagined it was fine to ask her then.
With those thoughts, I fell asleep on my bed.
...
I woke up in a fluster, sitting up from my bed.
My eyes immediately shifted towards the curtains. A weak ray of dawn shone through it, signaling the start of the day.
My mind still felt quite muddled and tired. It seems my anxiety about working on the farm made me wake up early.
...If only it were a little bit later.
