Derek was in his car talking to Sam on the way to the house of his brother.

- What did Jane when you left her? -suddenly asked Sam- then it had to be hard to find her in the office...

-Not really, Sam, -said Derek as he drove- once she knew my decision, she disappeared.

-Disappeared? -Sam was surprised-

-Just like that. The day after my appointment as public representative and the highest authority of the Corporation in Japan, she disappeared, she resigned from his position. With travel arrangements I didn´t said goodbye. In Japan I was three years. When I returned to Seattle, I found no trace of her. All I could know is that she left town.

-Do you know? -said Sam- is a very sad story, and you're a fool. What will you do now?.

-Nothing- Derek said coldly.-

-Nothing?, because it seems as she is seeking you

-Nothing Sam,- Derek repeated- With everything that happened, I couldn´t to face her.

-You'll see, little brother. -Sam was not very happy -You're lucky that Diane isn´t here. She´s a matchmaker -said Sam with a special shine in his eyes, talking about his wife- she would arrange you an appointment quickly.

-No, Sam! -Derek said horrified- That must never happen.

Sam gave a little laugh.

When they got home, Sam opened with his key.

-Diane! We're home! I come with Derek -Sam warned. Hearing this, Diane went to the lobby-

Derek said to Sam quietly: -Not a word, understand?.

-Not a word of Jane -Sam repeated in almost a whisper, with such bad luck that Diane heard his words..

After dinner, Derek said goodbye to his brother and sister before leaving home. Once alone with Sam, Diane began to investigate.

-It seems that you have really made peace with your brother, -said Diane.

-Yes, it's fantastic, -said Sam as he helped Diane to collect the plates from the table- It seems incredible, but am discovering things about my brother that couldn´t imagine.

-I see you very close, and secure you share confidences, am I right?

-Well ... I do not know ...-Sam did not like anything the voice of Diane-… confidences? ... What do you mean?.

-No, nothing in particular, -said Diane with cunning in her voice- only that I remember you that we have been together forever. If you would have tell me something important, you will tell me it, right?.

-Of course!...-Sam paled-.

-And tonight ... Don´t have you anything to tell me? -Diane said in inquisitorial tone.-

-No. .. nothing ... what can I tell you? -Sam's voice trembled somewhat-

-Jane…-Diane said as an accusation. She said with cold anger contained.

-Ja? ... Jane? -Sam stammered- how you...? I mean, how did you hear?.

-I've heard you when talk with Derek- then she raised her voice- I told you not to come back to pick up your dirty black books!...How could you do this? -Diane finally burst-

-My books? Wait, wait ... you're making a mistake. That woman has nothing to do with me or my books.

-Ah! Do not? -Diane said incredulously- and who´s Jane?

Sam was trapped. He had no choice but to tell the whole truth. After telling her everything, Diane went from cold anger to the more smug and cheesy romanticism.

-Oh! and what are we to do, Sam?.

-What do we ...? -Sam was desperate moments- Nothing! For the love of God! We will not do anything! Derek and I don´t want to do anything!. For that reason I didn´t want tell you nothing…you´re a matchmaker…Leave people freedom with their lives...

- I'm not a matchmaker! -protested Diane-I'm just a romantic...woman

-Romantic? -Sam repeated sarcastically- Do not make me laugh! You're a nosy. If you don´t get into the issues of others couples, you explode.

-That's not true! -Diane protested again- Well ... Not quite ... I´m like Cupid ... That's all ...

- Well, count me out, ok?

Diane didn´t answer, but that was worse. Sam saw in her face drawn on a mischievous smile he knew very well, and didn´t like at all.
