Author's Notes: Feedback Love

I wrote two versions of this chapter, I'm sticking with the second one, I think it's better. Thanks for all the feedback so far, it's great and it helps me write faster since I know people are reading.

Chapter 6 – Version 2

Donna was standing in his doorway, watching him, waiting for him to notice her presence. It usually took him a few minutes to realize she was there. If anyone else so much as breathed into his office he noticed immediately but never with her. It had always been that way and she never had the time to question it.

"Josh," she finally said, sick of waiting for him. He looked up and smiled at her.

"Yeah?" She sat down in the visitor's seat

"What does ten years mean to you?" His forehead wrinkled.

"What?"

"Ten years, what does it mean to you?"

"I don't know, why?"

"I was looking at your notes from the meeting this morning and compared it with mine and in the margin near farming subsidies you wrote ten years."

"Yeah?"

"So did I, but I can't remember why it's there. I've asked Margaret, Bonnie, Ginger, and Carol but they have nothing down and neither did Leo, Toby, Will or CJ." He leaned back in his chair, racking his brain. There was nothing that he could think of that had to do with both farming subsidies and ten years.

"I'm sorry, Donna, I really don't know. But for the time being don't worry about it, if I remember I'll be sure to inform you." He smiled at her, she looked beautiful, absolutely stunning. Her hair was perfect and that skirt made her legs look sexy as hell.

"Ok, then I should have these notes to you within an hour," she replied, her smile reaching her eyes. He was looking all cute and rumpled today, she thought, and it was going to be hard for her to keep her hands off him.

Because of these contemplations running through their minds the next few hours they spent together were going to be sweetly torturous.


"It would have been Mom and Dad's one hundredth anniversary today," Greg stated. "It's a good thing they had us later in their lives, otherwise we'd be really old right now."

"We are really old," Linda replied, laughing.

"I'm glad the three of us got together for it, they would have liked this," Chris said, raising his glass. "To Dan and Jean Harrison, we wish them the happiness they found with each other for all of eternity."

A/N: Please leave feedback, I strive to know that I am pleasing you. I'm also thinking about trying to rewrite this chapter one more time, I'm not sure if I'm fully satisfied. Let me know.
