I have to say, Iusta would have been a joy to many Roman men. She's pretty, intelligent, practical, has excellent business sense, and a charming disposition. It's just that . . . well, Mus isn't like most Roman men. He's got a quirky sense of humor, an endearing loyalty and charm, cleverness and sweetness. And it's clear he'd rather not have a wife at all.

I love these two dearly, so I have a feeling I'm going to be on a roller-coaster of emotional highs and lows for a while.

::hugs:: I hope you're recovering from your dental surgery nicely, amica.
