This kicks off my one-shot series! It should probably never end and I will update 3 times a week at the least. R&R!
Skulduggery was waiting inside the Bentley. He had told Valkyrie to go get a coffee, and she had been puzzled about why she had gone to get one as she left. As he sat there, he stared at the small ring he was going to use to propose.
"Valkyrie, I have known you now... No, that sucks. Valkyrie, for a long time now, I have felt.... No, that doesn't work either. Come on Skulduggery, think..."
Just at that moment, the door opened and Valkyrie slid inside. Unprepared, Skulduggery didn't have enough time to put the ring away before she had seen it. She took three moments to stare, before asking the first of her many questions.
"Is that a wedding ring?"
"Yes."
"Are you proposing to someone?"
"Yes."
"Is it Tanith?"
"No."
"China?"
"No, I'd be crazy to do that."
"We don't know any more women."
"Shame."
He put the ring away, and started up the Bentley. As he pressed on the pedal, he glanced sideways at Valkyrie. She looked straight back at him.
"So who are you proposing to?"
"You don't know her."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Silence ensued for several minutes.
"It's me, isn't it?"
"Bingo."
