The crisis (part III)

After THE night Fornell tried everything to win Diane back. At first, he cleaned himself and after he sobered he came to apologize. With roses. Diane took the roses, let him talk, but without a word, she left.

Fornell started to live in Gibbs household.

Second day, he came with roses again, talked to the kids and apologized once more.

On the third day Diane finally talked to him.

"Diane. I know I have been a total jerk recently. But let me tell you this. I love you, I love our family. I know I have screwed up, but please, let me have a chance. I should never put work before family. You and kids are what is the most important to me. I was hoping you would come with me on vacation. I have booked hotel, I would love to take you to Ibiza."

"Tobias, I have to say you hurt my feelings very badly. I need to think about the trip. Give me some time."

On the fourth day, after a long discussion with Jenny, Diane accepted the offer to fly to Ibiza with Tobias.

The next day Diane took Emily and Mason to Gibbs', where they would spend a week. Both parents hugged their children goodbye and left for the airport.

The flight was long. At first, they didn't talk. Diane was just staring out of the window, Tobias was nervously playing with his hands. After couple more hours they briefly switched some words. Tobias was trying very hard. He played the gentlemen the whole time – he held every door for his wife, brought her drinks, took all her suitcases …

Finally they arrived at the hotel. Diane silently admitted she loved the place. Hotel was near the cliff, they could see sea, the room was great.

Next two days were spent in a bit better atmosphere, they mostly were on the beach, Tobias complimented his wife regularly, they drank a lot of delicious cocktails.

For the lunch they went into town. This was the day Diane decided to show him, she appreciated everything. During the walk she took his hand. At first he was surprised, but immediately recovered and enjoyed the gesture. So they walked hand in hand through the city.

They spend the evening at the hotel bar. They talked the whole time. Tobias even got a goodnight kiss on the cheek.

Another two days later the couple decided to take a walk along the coastline in the night. As they reached a perfect quiet place, Tobias suddenly stopped. He turned towards his wife and took both of her hands. He nervously gulped.

"Diane, I just wanted to tell you, that I am really sorry. I want to thank you for giving me another chance. I love you and I would like to give you this," he opened a box he took from his pocket and there was a beautiful necklace.

Diane turned around, so he could zip it. She could feel his hands trembling. She smiled. She turned back and caressed his hands. She looked him in the eyes: "Thank you. I love you too."

With that Diane moved towards Tobias and kissed him gently on the lips.

They slowly withdrew apart. Both smiled. And kissed once more. This time got the kiss much more heated. Diane quickly deepened the kiss. For the first time in her life, she made love on the beach and it was perfect.

Their vacation in Spain was over. They flew back to DC and couldn't wait for their kids.

Jenny stood in their bedroom and asked her husband: "I hope they solved everything up…"

Gibbs chuckled: "I could bet they did."
"What?"
"Come here, look."

Jen looked through the window and saw Diane leaning against the door of their car, Tobias against her and both were engaged in a VERY heated make-out session.
