A/N Doing this from memory, so I might miss a sequence of events, this is in mommy's bosses before the dinner.
The phone rang, it was Diana
Wow Marco thought she called at a time where I wasn't thinking about her, her timing is improving. He smiled and picked up the phone
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's Diana"
"Hey, how did everything go with Ryland's secretary" he asked
"Great" she answered "We found out all about firewall, it authorized the use of promycin inhibitor, Tom's off to confront Ryland now."
"Good luck to him" Marco responded. "It's gonna take a lot to get through to him, but you can't deny the evidence."
"And we couldn't have gotten the evidence without you" Diana said happily" You've been such a great help to…" she paused as if not sure what to say "...to Tom and I in our cases."
"Hey, I'm happy to help"
"In fact would you like to come over for dinner tonight?" she asked "Just as a way to say thanks. Marco dropped the pen he was holding, he hadn't expected that.
"Oh, you don't have to do that" he said modestly.
"Yes I do" she answered. "Can you come over to my apartment at six?"
"Love to" he answered, feeling elated
"See you there" she hung up.
Marco just beamed for a few minutes and he thought of what Maia predicted. Maybe it would happen then. He thought that would be my kind of timing.
