So Larry took me to lunch to discuss my special project. I knew he didn't want to discuss it at work, you know, in case anyone overheard, but you think he could have asked me last night, when we got home. But he insists on leaving work at work, and not talking shop in bed, so after not saying anything to me last night at home, he asks me to go to lunch with him. This is one of the reasons he drives me crazy.
Anyway, I told him that I believe Josh should marry Joey Lucas. He gave me the look, you know, the 'you're an idiot look', then asked if I ever listened to office gossip. I wondered what he was talking about, and then he informed me that Joey Lucas was married.
So I moved on to Plan B. One thing I learned from Larry was to always have a Plan B. I suggested, if Joey is out of the running, the possibility of Mandy Hampton. Before I could give him my rationale, he blew up. He said that if Mandy were to come back to D.C., half the White House staff would leave town, including Josh.
He demanded to know what I was thinking, then proceeded to tell me Donna is the one and I should be working on that.
As I sputtered, trying to come up with a reason, any reason other than the real one, why Donna would not work; I looked up and suddenly lost my train of thought, gaping at the incongruous pair walking into the restaurant.
Larry turned around to see what upset me, instantly recognized them, and rose to greet them. They smiled and nodded as Larry indicated to the maitre de that they would be dining with us.
As much as I hate to be subjected to either one of them, I am curious as to what has brought them together.
