"We both know you're going to screw it up. I am just trying to delay that as long as possible"
Harvey looks at her and swears he could see the corner of her mouth tug into a smile. His head drifts into thoughts about the meaning of her words. He thinks that maybe she knows; she knows that she could easily be in Scottie's place, that if it weren't for her rule, they would attempt having a relationship together. But then again, he had just accused her of being jealous of Scottie, and she denied it effortlessly. Or maybe she just perfected her acting skills. His thoughts surprise him, as they often do when it comes to her. He thinks about the nature of his feelings towards her, and he doesn't know how to define it. Perhaps he's in love with her; but then again, maybe he isn't. He then thinks that if Donna's pushing him to be with Scottie, it's because she believes it's the right thing to do. It is ironic how he's almost sure she knows how or what he feels about her when he doesn't. It is simply because she's Donna, and she knows. So he goes with the flow, with whatever she sees best, because he believes she has control over his heart in a sense. A simple word from her and he'd leave Scottie in a heartbeat. He wonders if she can read his thoughts now, as she waits for his reply. He doesn't know what to say, and finally decides to fake an annoyed look. Her mouth moves again, her voice drawing him back to reality.
Donna
She doesn't know why she said that, words just came out of her mouth. But she's Donna, and she must be in control all the time. So she pretends not to be surprised by her own words, and maintains her usual demeanor. She is thankful to all her drama and facial expression classes. If she's being honest with herself she's been using these skills often lately. Since Scottie came into Harvey's life for good, she feels sick to her stomach, annoyed by her presence. She can't say anything because she pushed Harvey into committing to her. It seemed the right thing to do then, and she convinced Harvey that it is. And maybe it's still right, because Harvey is happy, and that is what's important. So she fights that insect in her stomach and perfectly plays the role of wingmen to Harvey, helping him in his restaurant choices and gifts choices, something she was about to do now. She wonders why it's taking him too long to react to her words, or maybe she just feels like time has stopped. As much as she brags about her ability to read people and Harvey in particular, she sometimes finds great difficulty in depicting his thoughts. She wondered just now where his mind had drifted, and in what thoughts he was so absorbed. He finally gives her his typical annoyed look, signaling her that he's back to reality. And so she talks again, thinking that if he were unhappy with Scottie, he would do something about it.
