Your step-father thought he had the winning hand. He bet everything he had and some things he didn't. When he lost and it was time to pay up, he couldn't produce the goods. To save himself he offered up you and promised to drop you off at my doorstep. He never said a word to you, did he? It's only a weekend, don't look so worried. I promised him I would return you in one piece. I didn't say what condition you would be in. You'll be well worn and exhausted when I'm done.
