Aphrodite could not deny that love could take one by surprise sometimes. Ares had been a surprise for her. A pleasant one, most of the time, but not something she had been expecting. War gods were not usually her type.
“I have been there a time or two, yes,” she said. She saw no harm in admitting that to Hera. Maybe the queen was implying that had happened to Harmonia and Cadmus. It would be nice if it were true.
