Kurt closed the door then waited for a moment for her to say something, but she didn't, so he simply asked:
"Yes?"
"Yes?" the woman repeated in the same tone.
"I suppose you came here…" he looked at her, but she remained silent. "Because you want to tell me something."
"I do," she said simply.
"So what is it you want to tell me, Miss Lockhart?"
The kind of playful way he said her name convinced her that he was not really angry with her, so she decided to play by his rules.
"Mr. McVeigh, you do realize I was doing my job. I mean…I warned you…"
"Excuse me?" he sounded a bit angry this time which made her realize she must have said something wrong. "I do you a favor, and you take advantage of it, using the information I gave you voluntarily."
"I was just doing my job," she said again, calmly.
"So your speech about that I should do what I want, was just a bait?"
"No," she said silently, but he seemed not to hear her.
"You already had everything planned out by then, that's why you asked those questions about my experiment matching the crime scene?"
"No," she said louder this time, which made him stop. "You only told me that the State's Attorney's office approached you later, after you…you told me you have feelings for me. Or was that just a…lie?"
"I don't know."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know if my feelings are strong enough."
He didn't dare to look in her eyes any more, so she started to feel uncomfortable.
"Don't expect an apology from me…"
"I know, you were doing your job," he said silently. "But you do realize that something like this isn't normal between people who have feelings for each other?"
"Do you think it was easy for me?" she asked, trying to defend herself.
"I don't know, was it?"
"It wasn't. Why do you think it took me so long to come here?"
"I don't know, you were busy."
"I'm not a cold-hearted bitch, and you of all people should know that," she said still calmly, looking into his eyes, which finally met hers again.
"Does this mean you are sorry?"
"I can't feel sorry for doing my job, my job is my life."
"Then what do you want from me?"
Diane stared at him for a moment, then looked away.
"This was a mistake."
"What? Coming here was a mistake? Or you mean us as a mistake?" Kurt seemed quite agitated.
"There's no such thing as us."
"You're right. It was a mistake," he said looking at the ground again.
"Kurt," she said with a softness in her voice. "I came here, because I wanted to be with you."
He raised his head, and looked at her, but he remained silent, so she continued.
"The case is closed, can't we just forget about this, and move on?"
"To where? You just said there's no such thing as us."
"But there could be," she said and started to smile.
"Are you serious?"
"I am."
"But you do know that once we will be us you can't pull tricks like this on me any more?"
"I know."
He stepped closer to her.
"You are not an easy case Miss Lockhart, I'm sure you know that."
"I do, but you aren't…" she couldn't finish the sentence because he kissed her.
"I just wanted to stop you from saying one more foolish thing today."
"Excuse me?"
"I guess it's my turn to say don't talk," he said before kissing her again and she didn't have another choice but to give in.
