Valentine Wiggin is in the lobby?" That might be a squeal that this building has never heard before. "Oh my god, you don't know how much I've wanted to be like you since I was, hell, fourteen."

Jon stares at Quin. "Shit, I've never seen -that- out of her."

Valentine turns slightly pink. "Oh. Thanks. It really wasn't as interesting as people seem to think it was, but thanks."
