SAT Vocab 52: Cogent
adjective (KŌ jənt) strongly appealing to reason // well argued
“It is logical,” John exclaims finally, tired of proving to Sherlock that a marriage is a cogent thing to do.
“Ehhhh...”
“No, it is. It is,” John interrupts him finally. “Deal with it.”
“Your argument is not persuasive enough, John. Why get married? Living together works,” Sherlock shrugs, and John sighs, fighting the desire to just crush a wall with his head. Or Sherlock’s, he hasn’t decided yet.
“Because I want to get married, Sherlock!”
“Well, marry someone!”
“I want to marry you, you curly idiot!” John snaps. “Why is it so hard to just say yes to my proposal?”
“Because I wanted to annoy you, John,” Sherlock smiles widely. “And yes, I will marry you, stop trying to burn me with your stare.”
“Idiot.”
“Illogical as well,” Sherlock jokes, and John groans, but can’t help a smile - at least, this stupid curly genius has agreed to get married. All they have left to do is just deciding on the date, guests, music... And probably ways to kill each other.
