Prophecy stared into his red eyes and held her ground. The sound of heavy raindrops hitting the soaked grass filled the silence. She had been crossing the park when she’d spotted him. He’d been alone and she’d been wondering what he was doing in Budapest. Surely the Law Keepers hadn’t known she would be here? She’d thought they were still preoccupied with Ineru and her human lover. He stood out like a sore thumb. It wasn’t just the long black stand-up collar jacket he wore, or the highly polished boots, it was all of him. Her eyes traced the intricate patterns of the silver embroidery on the jacket and she found herself trying to picture Valentine in a similar uniform. It really would have suited him. She shut out the sweeping pulse of desire that rushed through her when she continued to imagine Valentine as a Law Keeper and focused on the one that was standing only a few metres from her. He wasn’t armed. He did have height on her though, and he was well built. She assessed him with a critical eye, looking for any weakness that might show on the surface or in his eyes.
