"Sigh... Wouldn't it be better if I could go outside already?" whispered Leslie, her mind conjuring the beautiful images of Rome she saw in documentaries and books, "But, will I meet any of the Roman soldier ghosts? Or the gladiators?"

Leslie recalled one of the foreign romance books she read before.

The female lead loved going for a swim in a pool, rumored to be a favorite spot of Roman soldiers. She fantasized about meeting the handsome olive-skinned ghosts with curved noses.
