It was the next morning and Valkyrie woke on top of Skulduggery the remote still gripped in her hand. She heard Gordon bashing around in the kitchen. Ten minutes went by and Valkyrie still hadn't moved. "Are you planning on moving anytime soon Mrs Cain or are you going to lie on my chest all day?"

Valkyrie sat bolt up. One side of her face was red and on the same side her hair resembled a bird's nest. "I-I thought you were meditating." She managed to stammer before, catching sight of herself in the mirror on the opposite wall, running from the room.

"What did I do?" Skulduggery asked the empty room and a reply came in the form of Gordon.

"She loves you." And all Skulduggery could think was I KNEW IT!

After the initial shock of Gordon telling him what he had subconsciously thought, Skulduggery felt almost happy. "Wait? How do you know she loves me?" Skulduggery asked the supposedly dead uncle of his partner.

"The way she looks at you, the way she ran from the room when she saw herself in the mirror-"but he was cut off by a loud scream from upstairs. Skulduggery jumped to his feet but Gordon stayed rooted to the spot.

Valkyrie rounded the corner just in time to see Gordon sprint for the back door. "And I may have read her diary" he said as he peered around the doorframe leading into the kitchen and narrowly missed the hot cup of coffee Valkyrie threw at him. They heard a door slam, then a motorbike reeve up the drive.

Tanith burst into the living room. "Ok where is he?" she squealed but at the mess and a fuming Valkyrie she let her excitement disappear. "What happened here?" She asked and Valkyrie fled the room in a fit of tears.

Tanith followed and Valkyrie filled her in on what had happened. "And now I'm sure Skulduggery knows I like him" Valkyrie sobbed into Tanith's chest.

"I most certainly do." The smooth velvety voice that made Valkyrie weak in the knees replied. And that's when Gordon was thrown through the window and landed on Tanith's lap.
