Diana Hope, 55, is still adjusting to her recent separation when she discovers her ex-husband has just proposed to a woman 30 years younger. Secretly hoping they would reunite, Diana is devastated. She realizes the time has come to reimagine life without him-in fact, to reimagine her life, period.
Devoting the last 30 years of her life to being a dutiful wife and mother and to climbing the corporate ladder, Diana has been relentlessly driven, and has not taken a moment to do anything for herself. Now, the time has come.
Diana never forgot her first boyfriend, who begged her to join him for a year in Europe after college. She had wanted to go so badly, but it had seemed like a wild, romantic idea, and a gap year, she'd thought, would hinder her resume and career. But now, with her daughters grown, her husband gone, and her career no longer fulfilling, Diana realizes it's time for herself-and to take that romantic year in Europe she'd always dreamed of.
Diana prepares to embark on the year of her life, finally turning to her bucket list, hoping to tour the most beautiful sights and sample the most scrumptious cuisines-and maybe, even, to fall in love again. But a year in Europe may have different plans in store for her. Can A-type Diana learn to go with the flow, to be spontaneous, to let down her guard and to learn to truly enjoy life again?
*CRIMINAL MINDS FANFIC*
⚠️Contains triggering subjects⚠️ Madeline Diana just short of 16 has had a pretty chaotic life. Her whole life she has been surrounded by death until it had suddenly stopped. Around 5 years later it returned but this time even deadlier! She now has to face a journey full of pain, misery, loss, love, chaos, and hope. And what happens when she runs into a familiar boy who helps her on her way!
⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ I do NOT own any of these character or anything else involving Criminal Minds except for the parts I made up! Such as Madeline, other minor characters, and some of the plot points! This is a fanfic of basically or in a way next generation and what I think would happen in season 16 with only the season 7 cast! Also there might be other triggers but I will add those on as I go!
