But if you want to go home, just say so."Diana smiled weakly "I'm totally fine, Jack. Let's continue our conversation."However, as time went on, Diana spoke more and more with a passion that was getting out of control. He started raving about everything, from work to his personal hobbies. Many funny and unexpected comments made Jack laugh, even though he was still worried about Diana's condition.Suddenly, Diana burst out laughing and clasped Jack's hand tightly. "You know what, Jack?
