Stavanger Bay Just call [m]e shameless

This was not the first time Sanja had endured the affections of a man, but it would be different this time. He was older than any partner Sanja had sought, plus, she had only ever wanted the physicality before - and now, something else possessed her.

She sought forgiveness for his injuries; calling upon spirits she barely believed in. A quelling of her lust. To offer herself like this was garish (her mother would be proud) for she was no prize to be won, but he had saved her, and so she felt a debt owed.

When he steadied himself she braced, then their dance began together, and Sanja realized she did not even know his name; but in time she would forget, and their time together would cease.
