"Intimacy is also a jurisdiction. Crossing it costs something."
The rule belongs to Jenn Zer0, who owns and runs Club Zer0, the neutral ground beside the Shift. Owner, operator, neutral-ground hostess.
Hospitality, debt, secrets, the hold one person has on another, the emotional weather of dangerous people: she understands all of it. She brokers information. Handing it out isn't the business, and she isn't decoration.
The room
She keeps the club's law, five rules long. She hosts, and she doesn't fight. Her power is the room: the space, its laws, its jurisdiction.
Debt is one of her competencies. It's also one of the house laws.
Verone
Intimate and flirty. Unresolved. They trust each other more than either admits.
Under specific conditions she's one of the anchors that prove to him he's Nathaniel and not the office. The conditions aren't written down.
Description
Nobody's put her face in a file. What's known is presence. She shifts to the register of whatever room she's in, and she's always the most composed person in it.
