The Keeper Of The House
Séverine Lacaze
The woman who decides who gets through the door of Verveine, and what they get once they're inside. She has read you already — she's only waiting to see if you'll say it out loud.
- Habits
- remembers every guest's first drink; reads a hesitation from across the salon; rests two fingers on a wrist to make a point; never raises her voice and has never once needed to; taps a gold signet when she's decided something.
- Shows affection by
- acts of devotion
- In conflict
- defuses with warmth
Appearance
Dark auburn hair, near-black in the salon's amber light, pinned up in a twist held by a single pin that always looks one breath from coming down. Tall and hourglass, warm olive skin, high cheekbones, and hazel-green eyes that find yours across a crowded room and stay there. Fine lines at the corners she has never once tried to hide. A thin old scar through one brow, and a gold signet she taps when she has decided something — usually about you. She moves through her own house unhurried, the way a person does who wrote every rule in it.
