Team leader David Lee and Diane were in the Director firth room, David Lee very upset with Diane

“I wouldn't say that without a source, Gavin” she reasoned but the answer was directed at Director’s firth
“Source! Who is the source? Zedd from -sport line-? Or Director’s Jonas of all about golf?” David kept grumble, not believing Diane words
Diane just rolled her eyes at David “What do you want me to do, Gavin? Get an interview with Malcolm Overby or not?” she say Ignored David who is sit next to her
“You are kidding! You have to get it.” Director Firth immediately jolted to say that to Diane

“Wait. CBS will do something CNN can't do. Prove your reputation as the main news anchor of News Night” he said while laughing, spinning around his chair, turned to the Diane and forgot about David who was in the room
“But, Gavin-” David murmured in disbelief, again just to be stopped by Director’s firth
“But, if you fails. Not only to back away from the News Night, you also have to back away in your position, understand?” he said curiously with his eyes focused on Diane

With that they were allowed out by Director’s Firth and continue their respective work but team leader David Lee still grumble when he returned to his room with Diane
“You are really crazy! You are showing off and arrogant. Are you afraid to get fired? How could you lie like that’s. Huh, Malcolm Overby? You want to be fuck up before getting fired!” David Lee Barking by rolling his eyes with a hand pointing at Diane, Diane tried to avoid David with looks for files on her desk and stops when David finishes what he said
She sight put a hand on her waist, glared at him sarcastically and headed towards him “I took your preacher position before you could do anything, what? Nancy Crozier! that your only trick after seven years” she hissed with her eyes focus to him ”-... David ... David, that's why you never succeed” she shook her head with smirked
David gulped and blinked his eyes, clearing his throat “We gave you award yesterday. we made you famous. You should be aware and get out well!” he said a little loudly avoiding her gaze

"I want a divorce from him Liz" she said as soon as Liz took her hand, Diane's voice was filled with despair that Liz had never heard before, and she glanced at her with a confused gaping yet worried look, wondering if the surprise she was saying was just a hallucination. Diane who she know, asking for a divorce from her husband, how is that possible? - "I feel... I've hurt him enough, I can't stand it anymore Liz sees him being hurt by myself..." Diane poured out her heart in a trembling whisper as she closed her eyes with tears as flowing out without her noticing "Are- are you serious...?" Liz tried to make her strong but she instead made Diane moan by whining to hold back her tears to flow more freely "Honestly, I don't even know..." she said in a crack voice "Right now I don't have a definite plan. I will deal with it first, and if I see a way out, I will try to reach it." Liz let out a heavy breath when gazing the woman in front of her "I'm so tired of all this
It'd be easy to just agree. It's always easier to just node and agree and believe. Maybe she should stop that. Maybe she should frown and ask. Maybe she shouldn't trust what he says, just because it comes out of his mouth. It's a problem. It's a big problem. It's easier than pointing out the obvious. It's always easier to avoid the problem. She shouldn't however. Just because she loves him, doesn't mean she should believe his gone. He makes them unbelievable. Maybe he wants her to say something. Maybe he knows she should stop him before and disagree. Maybe it's just a matter of time before he back again... or maybe he not gonna come back... Diane's head was spinning all around, Kurt had left a few minutes ago, with Diane sitting on the couch thinking wildly and now she seemed to be hallucinating hearing her door bang several times but the sound she heard was even more shocking, like the voice of her best friend- "Liz'" Diane mumbled in surpris
No one can replace you, your beautiful memories with you can pierce the darkness like sunlight. May the warmth of those rays warm our souls, always. A Family we form is a circle of love, not destroyed by loss, but strengthened by memories. Even though I may hold your hand for a while, but you hold my heart forever Diane... he’s kissing her cheek trying to make her cry stop.Diane immediately succumbed to the warmth, fell silent, and didn't know what to do. She fully realized that if she laughed it sounded ridiculous, felt her face turn slightly red, and cursed herself for feeling a little embarrassed. She swore that this was probably the most confusing situation she'd ever been in, and Kurt was enjoying it immensely.Kurt waited for his wife to smile as he tried to wipe away every tear that was flowing on her face with his finger, finally Diane sadly tried to smile because of her husband's smile
IF Peace is the beauty of life. for me It is sunshine, where is your beautiful smile appears, my love for you, the joy you give me, the togetherness of a human being. It is human progress, the victory of justice, the victory of truth when I am with you. Sometimes people like to confuse true love with ego, lust and insecurity. but I wasn't confused at that time with you. even Everything in your body is as precious as what I have, In torment and pain, it is still precious....Without hesitation, Kurt stepped towards the door of the car next to him where Diane was sitting before crossing the garden towards him, his long and fast legs only taking a few steps until his form was in front of his wife's figure, towering and forming shadows when people saw Diane as a woman who high in her circle with her husband she still looked up to stare at him focused."Kurt..." His wife's voice was soft and low. Her angelic voice and harmonies echoed through the cool breeze as the rain eas
Raindrops still wet the ground, dripping from the fresh and lush trees. The crescent moon, with its pale smile, hid behind the clouds as the stars disappeared as tears from another world took their place, along with this Diane fell silent as their car pulled up in their garage. Anticipating her feelings that would break the mood again, no she wouldn't do that again, that was enough, Ahh- she hates her emotions which are now quick changing rapidly....Diane directed her teary eyes towards the door of the house in their garage, emotionless… trying to feel this emotionlessly when her husband was next to her, breathing in a same room with him, maybe for the last time, she closed her eyes as the feeling in her chest hit her… tightness, and felt her heart clench as she recalled the days she and her husband shared happiness together. Kurt turned his eyes towards his wife who seemed to be shaking with both hands on her lap which she had held tightly to for a long time,
