I once said I was impervious. That no matter what Josh said, it wouldn't affect me at all. I lied. Here I am, sitting in my apartment, eating Ben and Jerry's and watching whatever is on TV, while my mother is out on the town. I think CJ senses that something is wrong. When she offered to take my mother out to dinner, I think I gave her frostbite from my icy glare. I didn't really listen to her, but she said something about us needing to talk when she got back. She can talk; I will maintain my icy composure. This is precisely why I didn't want to fall in love with Josh. I knew I was just going to end up sitting alone in my apartment, crying because he said he loves me like a sister. I wish he loved me like a woman. But, of course, Josh probably never even sees me that way. He probably only thinks of me as "Donnatella-the faithful assistant." Josh obviously never reads much, because if he did, he would soon discover that in most cases, the faithful assistant is in love with her employer. And sometimes, the employer is in love with the faithful assistant. But, alas, it is too much to hope for. So, I'm back to gorging myself on Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey, while watching some ridiculous political show on TV. I mean seriously, like that stuff happens in the White House. And then the guy playing the Deputy Chief of Staff comes on screen, and I completely lose it. It was then that CJ and my mom decided to come home.

"Donna? Are you okay?" My mother sits down next to me, and starts cuddling me the way she used to when I was little.

"I'm fine...just...TV...and..." The Deputy Chief of Staff walks across the screen again, and I start sobbing harder.

CJ is watching the TV, and I think she just figured out what is going on. "Donna, I need to talk to you. Why don't we go have a chat in your room and your mom can make some tea." CJ gives my mom a look.

"Yes dear, go on with CJ, and I'll get everything set."

She gives me another hug, before bolting into the kitchen. I follow CJ into my room, sobbing all the way. "Donna, I think I know what's going on here." CJ says as she closes the door to my room.

"Of course you do! This is all your fault Ms. "I'm going to turn the tables on Donna and hook her up with Josh!" So much for my icy composure.

CJ gives me a wry look. "I'd better start from the beginning. Donna, your mother has this idea that you and Josh belong together, and as much as I dislike the idea from a PR standpoint, I have to agree with her."

Say what?

"The last time your mom was here, she hatched a plan to get you and Josh to fall in love with each other. That being already accomplished, she then proceeded to think of a plan to get you two to realize you are in love with each other."

I think I must have hit my head, cause I think CJ just said Josh is in love with me.

"I agreed to help her so that I could make sure that things were handled right. I didn't want some extremely nosy member of the press finding out that you and Josh were sleeping together."

I snap out of my reverie long enough to pick up on something. "That nosy member of the press wouldn't happen to be Danny?"

CJ blushes. "This is not about me and Danny."

"Oh, so there's a you and Danny?"

"Donna!" CJ looks half-embarrassed and half-frustrated. "I'm just saying that you shouldn't completely rule out the idea of a relationship with Josh."

"CJ, are you saying what I think you're saying?" I'm hallucinating. I cried so hard, that I'm hearing things.

"I think that you better go over those lists again." CJ grins at me. My lists? But I threw my lists out in the trash... "CJ you went through my garbage?" I think I underestimated CJ's criminal mind again.

"Well, I came by to pick up your mom today, and I accidentally knocked over your trash can." CJ actually looks a little sheepish. "Then I think I may have accidentally left them on Josh's desk." She grins at me. "Do me a favor though. If it's a girl, name your first born Claudia."

For once in my life, I am completely speechless.
