Summary
“I’m in town for a couple days, visiting, and I was wondering: any interest in a one-night stand?”
He laughs. There are miles and walls between you, to say nothing of time, but you know that laugh. You know that he’s scratching his jaw with his knuckles, turning away from the world and towards the sound of your voice, shoulders rising half an inch. Private, a little defensive. He never likes taking personal calls at work where he can be overheard, but it’s been a couple years since you’ve talked to each other. He must have missed you. That accounts for his reply.
“One-night stand seems kind of inaccurate, don’t you think?”

Summary
The gods are ever present amongst Roman citizens; a force to be neither doubted nor trifled with. None learned that more than Aemilia Paulla, called Laelia, who thrice had her life disrupted by the gods. First at six when she was chosen to become a Vestal, a priestess of Vesta who would remain pure for thirty years of service. Then, again her life pivoted a second time when she was brutally ripped from the familiarity of the Vestals and thrust into a life - and marriage - for the sake of politics she’d never desired to be part of. Then, for a final time as feelings begun to swing like a pendulum back and forth between hatred and love for one who she should hold no feelings for.
