One of Paolo’s great attributes was that of looking forward, not back. He didn’t dwell on might-have-beens. He was a pragmatist and a realist.
Realistically, Livia was out of his league. For one thing, she was quite a bit older than him - too much! He rationalised that anything lasting between them was not to be... but he was able to sweeten the pill a bit by remembering that she had already given him the prize of her body... and she couldn’t take that away. But sex with Sofia was better...
But he wouldn’t rock the boat... for now.

Catching up on the story. Enjoying myself. Only 782 to go. Great writing, by the way!

Thank you very much Frenchie. I must get on with it as I’ve not posted on the story for quite a few days now. I’m still working out where it’s going! 🥴
