Fortune favors the bold.

Calvus and I had never been good at leaving Porcia alone.

We gave her space, never infringed upon her life, but the concept of just… leaving her alone? It was untenable. So, despite the fact that she’d run away from us — from her own home — I was following her from a distance, making sure she didn’t do anything rash.

Like leave the country.

I didn’t think she’d run before getting her revenge on the Imperator, but shit, Calvus’ revelation had been enormous. While I’d always realized that the depth of his devotion would be something she’d have to come to terms with, I hadn’t foreseen her comparing it to her own life. Her own death. That was… not ideal. The more I learned about her, the more I realized that Porcia’s immortal life was almost a complete rejection of her mortal one.

No sacrifice. No virtuous modesty. No Rome. No love.

I watched from afar as Porcia stormed through the village like she was contemplating a rampage. The humans were either tucked up in their homes or cosseted in the cozy pub, so there was no one about to see this hot-as-fuck beauty strolling up the street in high heels and no coat while the wind whipped viciously around her, bringing with it the smell of incoming snow.

Porcia always looked too beautiful to be real, but mostly in a siren sort of way. Like she was sashaying around, trying to draw hapless souls into her orbit. Not tonight, though. Tonight, she was putting out distinct fuck off vibes. She looked like a vengeful angel, driving everyone away.

I wasn’t so easily deterred. If anything, I preferred this side of her. The unpredictability was exciting.

I followed from the rooftops of the row houses, but apparently I wasn’t as discreet as I thought. Porcia spun on her heels and shot me a ball shrivelling glare from the sidewalk. I grinned back at her — no sense hiding now — and was rewarded with an impatient eye roll.

I presumed she’d continue on her way, ignoring me and stewing over Calvus’ heartfelt confession, but instead she scaled a drainpipe, faster than any human could follow, and strode purposefully towards me, leaping between houses. Her heels clicked lightly on the slate tiles with each tiny jump, her movements restricted by her tight skirt. What a goddess. Porcia slid down to sit at the base of a chimney and I took that as a reluctantly issued invitation to join her.

“Fancy seeing you here,” I greeted her cheerfully, parking myself next to her, leaning back against the chimney. Our sides pressed together and she threw me a baleful look, but didn’t shift away. Progress.

Was it just last night she’d come all over my face? How could we get back to that?

“I am shocked to see you. Astonished even,” Porcia retorted sarcastically, tipping her head against the bricks and staring at the cloudy night sky. “Where’s your other half?”

“Sitting right next to me.”

“Hilarious,” Porcia deadpanned.

“Calvus is at the estate, giving you space.
