CUT TO: INT. DANNY'S HOTEL ROOM, LATER THAT EVENING
C.J. and Danny are sat at the foot of his bed, on the floor, hands entwined. C.J. is resting her head on his shoulder.They're startled when C.J's Blackberry rings again. It's Toby.
C.J. Toby?
Toby: You okay?
C.J. Yes. No. Does the President need me?
Toby: No, I just wanted to check on you. Where are you?
C.J. In Danny's hotel.
Toby: Can I speak to Danny?
C.J. looks perplexed but hands the phone to Danny all the same.
Toby: Danny, it's Toby.
Danny Toby.
Toby: What the hell is going on?
Danny (turning away) I'm sorry?
Toby: What are you doing with C.J.?
Danny: Keeping her company while the show finished.
Toby: That all?
Danny: Toby, she was sobbing on the street. Did you really think I was going to walk past and leave her there in the cold?
Toby: (Clearing his throat) Is she okay?
Danny scowls and thrusts the phone back at C.J., then walks to the other side of the room, still scowling.
C.J. That was uncalled for.
Toby: Leo says you don't need to come in tomorrow.
C.J. What?
Toby: Seriously. It's Sunday tomorrow. Have the day off.
C.J. I can't.
Toby: You can. We'll cover it. Leo says so.
C.J. I can't.
Toby: I gotta go. See you Monday C.J.
C.J. 'Kay. Bye.
She hangs up the phone. Danny is perched on the window-sill, scowling.
C.J. Toby says I shouldn't go in tomorrow.
Danny He's right.
C.J. No. I should go in.
Danny crosses his arms and looks up at her.
Danny You've had death threats C.J. You've had an agent tail you for weeks. Your agent, who you liked, just got shot. I think you should take the day off.
Danny and C.J. lock gazes. C.J. folds her arms and then rests her forehead against her palm.
C.J. I can't get back to Washington without the motorcade.
Danny looks at her.
C.J. I can't, Daniel.
Danny: I'll drive you.
C.J. looks at him.
Danny I'll drive you back tomorrow.
C.J. You're going to DC tomorrow?
Danny I'll drive you back tomorrow.
C.J. looks at him, realization dawning slowly.
C.J. Danny, I can't ask you to do that.
Danny You didn't ask. I offered.
C.J. … I don't know…
Danny It's just a lift Cee.
C.J. …….
She tucks her hair behind her ear and smiles a little.
C.J. You're a sweet guy Danny.
