November, 1918
As Diana landed she looked around and realize that although she had won the war she had lost far greater than she could have ever image.
Walking away from Steve's picture Diana wonder what her future would be now, when Etta took Diana by the hand to lead her to what would become their home.
January, 1919
It was hard for Diana to adapt to life in 20th Century London. It was harder still for her to adapt to coming from a world where women were strong, powerful, independent, and could do anything they choose. To a world where a woman's only choice of a job was to be a "man's slave."
After putting down the book she'd just finished Diana wrote a brief translation about it before sitting back and thinking about the last 2 months and how her job came to be.
On a cold, snowy, windy, day Diana not being used to the winter weather stepped into a building to warm up. Upon entering she heard a conversation going on in the back and followed the voices. It was an elderly couple talking about how they might need to close their book store because the foreign books needed to be translated and with their sons killed in the war they had no one to help them. Diana said to them "I can help you," in five languages. The Wades decided to test her with a note from their son in which they already knew what it said. From that day on Diana worked at the book store. Diana came back to the presents as she hears Mrs. Wade approaching.
Mrs. Wade had come to see if Diana wanted some tea only to find her pale looking. She said, "My dear why don't you go home for the day?"
"I have been feeling nausea for a while now. I probably should go home. I do not want to get you and Mr. Wade sick as well."
"If you are feeling unwell then perhaps you should see a doctor."
"I will think about. Farewell." Said Diana.
"Farewell." Said Mrs. Wade.
Etta came home to find Diana looking rather upset mumbling, "It cannot be."
Concerned something might be wrong she sat beside her taking her hands asking, "What's wrong?" Upon getting no response she repeated her request with little a gentle turn of Diana's face so could meet her eyes, "What's wrong?" Etta listened as Diana spoke about leaving work early and going to the doctors. When she heard the results of the doctors visit Etta had only one solution, "Diana you must return home. You will need your family with now."
"I cannot."
"You have too. Diana you need your family at a time like this."
"I cannot. When I left my Mother said never to return. I can never go home again."
"Diana at times like these families come together and help each other out. You must go home Diana. You'll need your Mother to help you through this. Diana go home."
"I do not have a way. I do not have access to a boat o-"
"Just leave that to me. I'll take care of everything." Etta said.
The next day while Etta was working on arranging transportation for Diana. She went to the book store to explain to the Wades what was happening as well as to say goodbye. "I also want to thank you both for all you have done for me over the last few months. Your help with the lose of Steve meant a lot to me. Thank you so much." Diana said.
"We know about lose." Said Mr. Wade.
"We wish you the best dear." Said Mrs. Wade.
