Diana walked into the kitchen, after having put Bella to bed - again. Marco was there still at the table, having a battle of wills with a slice of pizza.

"Have a rough day?" Diana questioned, taking his cold slice and putting it in the microwave.

Marco had a non-committal noise.

She walked over to him, "Anything exciting happen?"

"Actually," Marco looked up at her with a slight smile, "I saw the most amazing woman ever."

"Oh really?" Diana smirked.

"Exquisite." He answered solemnly, pulling her into his lap.

"And did you happen to catch her name?" Diana asked coyly.

"It was Diana," he breathed.

The pizza had long grown cold by the time they were done.
