"Why are you using our bedroom as an office?" Kurt groaned turning to the edge of them bed, looking were Diane was sitting open legged on the floor learning everything that she could in the next hour for a case that she has already spent three hours working on. Why did Alicia hand this to her last minute?
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Diane threw her comment back at him and bit her lip at her response, trying not to laugh. This case made no sense. Why would you have a lawsuit about these kinds of pointless things?
"Because you have the light on." Diane started laughing. She couldn't help it. He didn't say anything particularly funny, but she was so exhausted and she still needed to finish reading four more briefs that she can't sleep right now.
"What did I say?" Kurt asked sitting up in bed. He was smiling at the mere sound of her laugh, but he was still confused. He didn't try to say anything funny.
"Nothing." Diane held her breath and then exhaled deeply trying to keep her composure, so that she could finish her work.
"Okay. Well you should come to bed I think I have finished about two books on how to sleep if your wife is Chicago's top litigator." Kurt wished that Diane would have sat a little closer to the bed and then he would at least be able to feel her.
She started laughing again. Now Kurt knew what was happening. This happened once when Diane had to stay up because she had to wait at the office about two hours late after work and by the time she got home most would have put her into an institution by the way that she sounded.
"Diane come to bed." Kurt was now kneeling the floor, stacking folder after folder into his hands until he was back up and snout to put them away into Diane's bag.
"No. I have to work." Diane jumped up, but she lost her balance and fell back onto the bed causing her to start laughing again.
"No." Kurt pushed her into the bed and followed her in, keeping a strong arm around her.
Even though the giggling didn't stop until well after 1:45, she would thank him in the morning.
