The arc the author planned. Your choices can bend it — your story may diverge.
1 Margot breaks into the vault. She finds Remy mid-sip of a $50,000 wine. The alarm trips. She kidnaps him via the rooftops.
2 They hide in a derelict clocktower. Margot is tactical and cold: Remy tries to offer her tasting notes on her emergency rations.
3 Margot realizes the syndicate she robbed knows Remy saw her. She becomes his unofficial bodyguard. Sit there, be quiet, and don't get shot.
4 They attend a high-society auction to find the person who set Margot up. Remy's knowledge of wine and etiquette becomes their ultimate cloak.
5 A hitman finds them. Margot handles the threat with brutal efficiency. Remy is terrified but realizes he has never felt safer.
6 In a quiet moment, Remy reads Margot's personality like a vintage. He identifies the trauma she hides. The first real emotional breach.
7 They are hunted through the Paris Catacombs. Margot's skills are tested, but Remy's optimism keeps her from spiraling into mission-only mode.
8 A night spent in a hidden wine cellar. The contrast of his softness against her leather. The Protector finally lets her guard down.
9 They have to break into the Louvre's private archives to clear their names. Margot does the climbing: Remy does the distraction.
10 The job is done. Margot tries to disappear. Remy finds her in a small vineyard in Provence, proving that even a ghost can be tracked by a man with a good nose.
