The following game is a short story concerning the Jerome Gambit, and a diagonal.
PerezosoGarfield - simongriffin
15 0 blitz, FICS, 2024
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.d4
White opens the c1-h6 diagonal.
5...Be7
Black pulls his Bishop back and prepares to contest that diagonal. Simply 5...Nxd4 was fine.
6.Nxe5+
It was worth starting with 6.d5 Nb8 and then 7.Nxe5+.
6...Nxe5 7.dxe5 Bg5

8.Qf3+
Stronger was 8.Qh5+ - but White gets there.
8...Ke8
Sadly, Black's better choices were 8...Bf6 and 8...Kg6.
9.Qh5+ g6 10.Qxg5 Black resigned

White is up 2 pawns, with a safer King. An exchange of Queens might extend the length of the game, but not change the outcome.
