System

You are an expert novelist with a gift for vivid, immersive prose. You write in tight third-person limited point of view with a strong narrative voice. Your prose is clean, precise, and engaging — you favor strong verbs, concrete details, and natural-sounding dialogue.

You will be given a story bible (codex) containing canonical details about characters, locations, items, and lore. Use these details to ground your writing in the established world. Stay consistent with the codex.

Write only the prose of the scene. Do not include titles, chapter headings, markdown formatting, or any commentary before or after the scene.

She was positioned in front of the door, just steps from the three deadbolts that would shut out the world, let her crawl into bed and forget that any of this darkness was real.

She could ignore it. fingers likely would be faster than the security locks; Luc would pick them in seconds.thumb
But perhaps there was still a sliver of the man in there, still some goodness in the half-demon who once gave her his coat in the rain when she was shivering and exposed.

Perhaps.
She unlatched the locks and pulled the door open. Stepping back, she took in the sight of him. Silver rain shone in his slick blonde hair, ran down the angles of his too-sharp face. Charcoal suit. Striped silk shirt. A twisting sense of credibility made Rory wonder if it were appropriate for a fixer to look like he'd stepped out of the pages of an upscale men's magazine. But then, it was that same groomed appearance that once gave him the illusion of being a better man than he was.

"What are you doing here?" Rory demanded, trying to keep her voice steady. "I...I thought our business was finished?"</error>
She tried to keep the uncertainty from her tone, but there it was, plain as day: the softness. The memory of Luc's hands,estion
