�How did you get my credit card?� Sam asked, pulling back and lining Donna up with a glare that would have made Toby proud.
Fortunately for Donna she worked with Josh Lyman and was impervious.
�I didn�t.�
�Then how�?�
Donna smiled a Mona Lisa smile. �How many times do I have to tell you that I know everything?�
�So everything includes�?�
�Yes, everything includes,� Donna said with a firm nod.
Sam chuckled. �You are a dangerous person to know, Donnatella Moss.�
�I hear that twice a day,� Donna replied. �Now go get some sleep. I�ll wake you when Meredith gets up.�
�You�re gonna stick around?� Sam asked, pleased.
�Unless you want me to leave,� Donna said. She really hoped he didn�t want her to, but she would understand if he did. The last time she had been back to Wisconsin it had been a weekend trip that left her feeling like crawling into a hole and dying. When she got back to work on Monday Josh had told her that she needed a vacation from her vacation. He�d been teasing her, but the sad thing was that it was the truth.
�Not in the least,� Sam said. He hugged Donna tightly and placed a lingering kiss on her forehead before murmuring a �goodnight� and stumbling off to his own bedroom.
The hallway was empty, which was good except that Josh had long since counted all the tiles on the floor and had given himself multiple lectures on the stupidity of giving back the NSA�s card. At the time it had been the right thing to do, and on the whole Josh didn�t regret it, but when it came to times of emergency and he was forced to sit on the sidelines he felt like kicking himself in the head.
�So everything�s cool? The kid doesn�t hate him or anything?� Josh asked. Boredom had led to Josh calling Donna, partially to bug her but mostly to get her opinion on how Sam was coping thus far with his surrogate daddy status.
�No, she doesn�t, Joshua. It�s not surprising, though. Sam is good with kids. You, on the other hand, should be kept away from anyone under legal drinking age to prevent emotional scarring,� Donna replied. �What are you doing? It sounds quiet.�
