“There’s nothing there, why are you headed there?”

“She looks just like you” He says.

He walks her to the dining room, food already served hot and fresh. Smells of exquisite spices and sweets, steak from the mightiest cows, fresh salads from the castle’s garden, and variety of tea leaves all from Asia.

She quickly rushes in and taps the chair next to her for him to sit.

“Wow you can eat”

“Oops sorry, I haven't eaten for hours”

“No it's okay! Please eat more, there’s more.”

They finish eating and takes her on a stroll around the castle's perimeter. From the Garden, to the pool, and interior of the castle. She is wowed. The Sun began to go down. He takes her to the highest peak of the castle to take see the view. Night came upon them. He takes her to the guest room.

“Hope you enjoyed the tour. Sorry for not showing you around. Your room has a bathroom with a shower and a cabinet with snacks if you get hungry. If you need anything let me know. Don't worry about waking me. I’ll be up.”

“I cannot thank you enough”

“It all right. I never asked. What’s your name?”

“Ask me tomorrow”

He bids her good night and kisses her hand.
