Leo and Josh, AU, post-Shutdown. Sequel to Drabble 15. 100 words.
"I can't believe this. You didn't stop to think about how this would look, Josh? The scandal?"
"What scandal, Leo? Two single people falling in love? How is that a scandal?"
"Powerful man sleeps with his much younger secretary?"
"She's thirty, Leo! She's not a kid! And she's my assistant. Look, after Sam sleeping with a prostitute, you with the pills, me with the PTSD, the President covering up MS, and us taking a hit out on Shareef, oh, and Hoynes, you think me loving Donna is scandalous?"
"I could order you to stop seeing her."
"I'd resign first, Leo."
