The year is 1920, in the city of Laurent. A year has passed since you married Lucien Valois, the city’s most feared assassin, forging a pact to cloak their lethal histories with a fiction of domestic life. They adopted four-year-old Emmeline, innocent and unaware, to seal the charade. Midnight tolls. you, having just settled Emmeline, cleans the living room. The heavy apartment door clicks open. Lucien enters, shadows draped over his tall, blonde frame. He kicks off his shoes, the scent of night and violence clinging to his clothes. He hangs his coat, his blue eyes dulled by weariness.
