“I know you grew up tenaciously without the strength of your parents, your husband is also a famous lawyer as a public defender. The way you become successful by working hard, we think you can get the trust of the community and peoples. would you like to work with us?” he reason try to convince Diane while Diane just stare, open her mouth just to be closed again “-We will verify the candidates for one month, of course, during this one month you should not cause trouble.

“Uhhh, okay I give up” Kurt said gruffly by lifting his hand in the air and stepping into elevator by his side will star to laugh

After broadcasting, Diane sat alone in her room, thinking about everything that happened today, she torn, how to get an interview with Malcolm, her career, Press Secretary, too many thoughts in her head, she was remind of him too, when she look at golden band on her finger, she looked at her cellphone screen, whether she should call him, why he didn’t call, does he want to end this…shook her head, she stop thinking, she pressed the number on her phone

“Hey, do you have time?”

After making some resistance, the old man gave up in an easier way with young man and finally they sat drinking at Westin bar

“So… where the thing go?” Will muttered lifting the glass to his lips

“I-..I was drunk yesterday Will, and I awake on her bed in the morning” he replied in a small voice with a blank expression on his face while will narrowed his eyes

“You mean yesterday, after we talk” Will eyes grew wide with Kurt nodded looked at him

“Yep, my steps take me there” Kurt smiled sadly beneath his mustache

“I mean, yes, you should talk to her, but I don't think that you go to her that night” Will say looking for Kurt eyes

“I thought so too, but I couldn't help it” he sip his drink “-I saw her in a big screen, and that is….everything is blurred”

“Oh men” Will demand try not to laugh

“Yep, I’m blind” he grumble while will chuckle

“Blind for her” Will keep laughing until finally stop remembering the expression of Kurt depression yesterday, clearing his throat “How is her reaction ?”

Kurt just shook his head. ”I don’t know, I can't remember anything talking to her, she was gone when I woke up, I just found a note that said we'll talk later, call me” Kurt sigh like thinking about something

“Are you call her” Will break his though

“No, no…are you crazy!” he said gruffly “-I feel ashamed to face her now” sipping his drink again

“May I ask ... is Diane angry when you are a lawyer again? You met her when you were a famous young judge, right?” Will had long wanted to know why Kurt choose a lawyer again, even though he himself wanted to be a judge "-I mean don't get me wrong because I think if you were still a judge at the time maybe you would be presiding supreme court Kurt... because I know how you work"

Kurt shook his head “No, she supports me, maybe she also knows that I chose it because of her”

“Because of her?” Will stare while Kurt pouting his lips

Kurt carried by his mind, sipping his drink “when I was a judge, when she also had an abortion, I blamed myself for not being able to stop her, every time I heard about the cases of children died, I could not act fairly, so… that's why I went back to being a lawyer” Will just look at Kurt face bowed his head

“I’m sorry” Will muttered feel guilty for asking that, “you know, maybe it’s good Kurt” Will suggest, he smiled while Kurt just stare at him, and catch someone familiar far behind will, his expression changed to horror…
