Can she say the same?]]
-->'''Skulduggery:''' I'm going to get her back.
-->'''[[spoiler:Stephanie:]]''' How? You have no idea, do you? You're terrified that the next time you see her you'll have to kill her, because you'll have no other choice. So you can say all the mean things you want. It doesn't bother me. You're just scared.
