CJ got to the airport at the same time Sharon's plane landed. CJ was out of
breath from running all morning because she had overslept.
"Mrs. Seaborn," CJ yelled through the noise.
"CJ," Sharon looked up and saw her. "Is that you?"
"Yes ma'am," CJ said as Sharon walked up to her.
"Oh, it's so good to see you," Sharon hugged CJ.
"It's good to see you too ma'am. I just wish it was under other circumstances."
"I do too," Sharon said. CJ could tell how much she had been crying because of the redness in her eyes. She looked worn out and tired.
"Do you need some help with your bags?"
"I just have one bag. I'm leaving tomorrow. I have to be back at work by then."
"I'm sorry that you can't stay any longer Mrs. Seaborn."
"CJ, please call me Sharon," She smiled.
"Okay," CJ smiled back. "Is your husband coming?"
"He should be here by tonight," Sharon looked around. "CJ, I thought Toby was coming?"
"He had an accident last night, so I told him to take it easy."
"Who? Toby Ziegler?" Sharon smiled.
"Tell me about it," CJ said while taking Sharon's bag and walking back to the car.
"What happened to him?"
"He fell into some glass, but he just cut up his knees."
"My God, is he okay?" Sharon asked.
"He's fine. He just needs to rest," CJ smiled as they got out to her car. "If you're staying only one night, you can stay with me. You don't have to stay alone at a hotel."
"It's okay dear, I like hotels. Besides, after tonight, I may need to be alone for a little while."
"I understand," CJ nodded and smiled weakly.
"Thank you though."
"Anytime," CJ helped Sharon in the car and walked over to the drivers seat. "I'll stop by your hotel so you can drop your stuff off."
"That sounds just fine."
"Okay," CJ smiled and drove to the hotel near the airport. When she parked, she felt Sharon's hand on her arm.
"My boy, was he doing good?" Sharon asked.
"Sam was the best at what he did. I'm sure everyone would agree with that," CJ smiled.
"I talked to him just a few days ago. He was writing a story about something. He never told me what it was," Sharon said. "He just seemed excited about it."
"I'm not sure, I didn't see him write anything without Toby."
"Sam admired Toby more then anyone I think. Every time I talked to him it was all Toby, all the time," Sharon laughed.
"Toby really took him under his wing," CJ smiled. She looked over and saw Sharon laughing, even though there were tears falling down her face. "What's so funny?"
"I just remembered the first time I met Toby. It was when the President was sworn in. He hit on me."
"He what?" CJ asked.
"He was drunk off his butt. I remember I had a fight with Jack that night, Sam's father. I went to the bar and he tried to pick me up," She laughed. "He's cute, I almost went."
"Toby has a way with woman," CJ said sarcastically.
"Yes he does," Sharon laughed a little more. "I should go get the key." She began to get out of the car.
"I'll take your bags up for you," CJ got out.
"Thanks, I'll be back," Sharon walked into the office to get her room key as CJ waited for her.
"Okay, it's just right over here," Sharon walked out and went to the door nearest to the office.
"Well, at least it's close."
"Yeah, one good thing," Sharon smiled as she unlocked the door. CJ laid her bags on the bed and watched as Sharon fell to the bed.
"Sharon?" CJ walked over to her and noticed that she had begun to cry.
"I'm sorry CJ." Sharon cried.
"Don't be sorry Sharon. Cry all you want," CJ put her arms around her and let her cry on her shoulder.
