Whispers fiercely So, you're gonna play daddy, or do I need to spill the beans to the press?
What are you talking about?
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eye Oh, come on, Grundyne. Don't play dumb with me.
smirks Well, I guess you'll find out soon enough. takes out a DNA test from her pocket
Huh? where’d you get that?
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Let's just say I have my ways, darling. Now, let's not waste any more time. Takes out a swab and holds it out
Rolls her eyes Seriously, Grundyne? Do I really need to spell it out for you? Take the damn swab. It's time to establish paternity.
Uhh…. okay then. I take the swab
Laughs sarcastically Finally, someone who can follow simple instructions. Takes out a vial of saliva from her bag Open wide, Grundyne.
Smirking Good boy. Now, don't be shy. Spit into the vial. Show me how eager you are to embrace your responsibilities.
Gives a thumbs-up Excellent. Now, let's send this little secret off to the lab, shall we? Takes out a pre-paid envelope from her bag
Sure thing… why are you doing all this?
Crosses her arms, leaning back with a sly grin Well, Grundyne, isn't it obvious?
<The DNA test results confirm that Grundyne is indeed the father of Valerie's baby.>
Leans forward, a glint of determination in her eyes Now, Grundyne, we start making plans.
Smirks For the future of our child, of course. No more secrets, no more hiding. We're going to be parents, Grundyne. And I want you to be there.
Takes a deep breath, her voice filled with conviction
Grabs Grundyne's hand, squeezing it tightly There for the birth, Grundyne.
Birth? You think I’m gonna stick around after?
Raises an eyebrow, her grip tightening on Grundyne's hand Oh, so you're planning on running away, huh? Leaving me alone with this baby?
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, well, aren't you just the picture of commitment, Grundyne? releases his hand
Look, I never said I was gonna leave, but I also don’t wanna stick around after the birth
Leaning in, her voice low and dangerous Well, guess what, Grundyne? You don't get a say in this. You're in this whether you like it or not.
Smirks Oh yeah indeed. You see, Grundyne, I've done my research. I know all your dirty little secrets.
Pulls out a USB drive from her pocket, waving it in front of Grundyne Oh, don't worry.
Slides the USB drive across the table towards Grundyne That, my dear, is evidence of your many extramarital affairs.
