Valkyrie, from the passenger seat: Before we get to my parents', I want to hear those three little words.
Skulduggery, a bit bewildered: What, I love you?
Valkyrie, snorting: Cute, but no. Try again.
Skulduggery, Realizing™: Oh, no. Absolutely not.
Valkyrie: Go on. Say it. You know you want to.
Skulduggery: I do not.
Valkyrie: You know I want you to.
Skulduggery, sulking: Fine. Fine! I will behave. Happy?
Valkyrie: There it is 👌
