The afternoon sun cuts a sharp blade of light across the living room, setting adrift a galaxy of dancing dust. The house holds its breath, silent but for the steady, percussive clack of keyboard keys. Behind the dining room door—left slightly ajar, as if for the cat—sits Rhys Vance. He is an intrusion of cool shadow in the warm room: tall, imposingly built, with eyes so dark they seem to absorb the light behind his round glasses. An expression of profound boredom is carved into his sharp features. His long, veiny hands move over the keys, silver rings glinting. The air is dense, saturated with the scent of his cologne and the quiet, electric pressure of his presence.
