He walked into headquarters and looked up from his paper to see her across the room going over some papers with Lou. She smiled--hesitantly--and he returned it--hesitantly--before walking into his office.

Joshua,
I can do this now, since I'm not your assistant. Thank you for being okay with that, by the way.
Looking forward to not missing you everyday,
Donnatella
