If I wait much longer, it will be more difficult to find our man, Damon. Dia is busy with the ladies and Hadrian will be back soon. I decide that now is the time to move.

Exiting the villa, I take the road towards the town. It is the most likely place in which a man who is visiting could easily find accommodations. Knowing Damon is a rich man, such accommodations would have to provide a certain level of comfort. This narrows my search to a particular area and fewer establishments. Still, it will not be an easy task to find him.

A plan begins to formulate in my mind as to how to handle the situation. I think it is best if I can convince him to accompany me to Hadrian's villa to await the lady in question herself. I just need to come up with a persuasive argument to get him there once I find him.
