�But your dad is going to be okay, and I�m sure that if your sister is anywhere near as stubborn as you she�ll be up and about in no time, so stop torturing yourself with the �what if� scenarios because they didn�t happen,� Donna said. She let her words hang in the air for a minute before changing topics. �Why exactly are you hiding from Toby? And don�t deny that you are. Your poker face is almost as bad as Josh�s.�
�He�s going to want me to make a statement and I don�t think I can do it right now,� Sam divulged.
The problem with hiding out in Josh�s office was that Josh came back. And, naturally, he hadn�t planned on needing the keys to the office that he hadn�t locked once since moving in, so when he tried to open the door he couldn�t.
Which led to him bellowing for Donna.
Sam had started getting more comfortable confiding in Donna about the plethora of emotional that were overpowering him, and Donna was sure that he felt a lot better having confronted his fears by speaking them aloud. Unfortunately the tumult of emotions had taken their toll on Sam and he had fallen asleep, curled up against Donna�s body. Donna was content just to hold Sam, running her fingers through his hair and marvelling at how deep the feelings she felt for the man in her arms truly ran within her.
Josh�s cry for his wayward assistant woke Sam from his slumber.
�Did I fall asleep?� Sam asked, embarrassed.
�Just for a little while,� Donna admitted as they got to their feet. She reached out and smoothed down his �bed head� before unlocking the door and opening it for Josh.
�Oh, good, the Deputy Communications Director and the leggy blonde assistant locked in my office with the blinds drawn. This won�t create too many rumours,� Josh muttered as he headed for his desk. �Toby�s looking for you,� he said to Sam.
�Yeah, apparently he�s running for Congress,� Donna said as she smoothed her skirt self-consciously.
�Toby�s running for Congress?� Josh frowned.
�No, Sam is,� Donna corrected.
Sam shook his head. �Except I�m not.�
�Then why did she say you are?� Josh questioned.
