For the next three days, you scrubbed that deck, with no help from whoever had mysteriously done it the first night.
For those three nights, the Captain offered to let you sleep in the barracks with the sailors but you didn't feel comfortable with that, so you slept on the cold deck with two blankets and a coat borrowed from the Captain.
You didn't miss the looks the Captain gave you. They were too far away to read, and too often to ignore. Jealousy? Suspicion? Pity? How were you supposed to know?
And also for those days, you were a bit wary to ask questions, though the Captain seemed to encourage it. On the first of the three days, the Captain gave you a break with a tour of the ship, and then gave you free reign of it.
On the second of the days, the Captain let you have a good, two-hour-long break during lunch to do whatever you wanted. You ended up eating a big lunch and taking a nap while it was still warm out.
In the end, you were pretty sure you slept for more than two hours, but the Captain didn't seem to have the heart to wake you up while you were sleeping so hard. And when you finally did get back to work, he thankfully gave you his gloves to use on your sore hands. On the third day, you were done with the deck by lunch.
Yeah, three days of work to finish it, plus that mysterious night-scrubber. That seems so long ago now... I mean, it was a really big deck. Or at least, to you it was.
