Briony stepped out, her hands weighed down by two large shopping bags as she made her way up the stone path to the house.

Stewart stood there, lips pressed into a thin line. "The code hasn't changed," he said, voice cool and even.

Stewart lingered in the foyer for a moment, watching her retreat, then followed after.
