Last night, I had an epiphany.
While studying about heredity versus environment, I realized I found the cause for and the resolution of the Zoey /Jean-Paul dilemma.
You see, Zoey's take on relationships is based upon those she has seen and experienced. And she has never seen a good solid relationship.
Take her parents. They love each other, but they fight all the time.
And there is the unspoken Leo-Jed-Abbey triangle. I doubt Zoey knows it exists. I hope Zoey doesn't know. Well, I know, so maybe she knows. But she's never said anything to me about it. But, then again, I've never said anything to her about it. That's cause I'm not 100 sure. That there actually is Leo-Jed-Abbey Triangle.
Well, I do know that there definitely is a Jed-Abbey angle,
I'm pretty sure there is a Leo-Jed angle, cause I have heard about the Blue Bedroom. And it has an adjoining door to the private Presidential Suite. I'm not supposed to know about that, but I do. I can put two and two together.
I'm pretty sure that there isn't a Leo-Abbey angle, although they do have lunch together every week. But it is just lunch, nothing else. They just eat and talk.
So Zoey probably doesn't know. That is, if there is something to know. You know.
Anyway, the Bartlets aren't normal; hereditarily speaking, that is.
Environmentally, things are even worse. Where was Zoey during her formative years? In the Governor's House, the campaign trail, then the White House. Not a single happy marriage anywhere amongst the three of them.
My epiphany - she has never been exposed to a normal courtship or marriage.
That's why she's so taken with Frenchie - he comes from a family that is even worse than hers. At least the Bartlet's don't lop off heads - literally that is; they do figuratively, when you think about it
Getting back to my epiphany.
I have been seeking a solution to my dilemma for so long, yet it has always been here. It is amazing in its simplicity.
You see, Zoey complained that I worked all the time and that's why we broke up.
So all I need to do is find someone who works all the time and is happily married.
No one around here fits the bill. But that problem is easily solved.
You see, Josh is a workaholic. And he knows all about my love for Zoey and he has indicated he will do anything he can to help me win her back. All I need to do is get Josh married and thus prove to Zoey that indeed you can be happily married while working around the clock at the White House. Easy as pie.
I need to find Josh a wife.
