With the long night behind them, Josh and Donna were finally back at the apartment. Only now, they were in the comfiest of pajamas and were on the couch cuddled up under blankets, sipping hot chocolate, with only the radio playing in the background.
"What a night," said Donna, "All those balls, meeting all those people. Even so, it was still the best night of my life."
"I know, all the parties and everything couldn't compare to you accepting my proposal," said Josh.
As if on cue, the next song that came on the radio was Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight." However, all Josh and Donna did this time was continued to snuggle on the couch.
"You know what I just realized?" Josh asked.
"What?" asked Donna.
"How much this song relates to everything that happened tonight," said Josh, with a smile.
"You're right," replied Donna, also with a smile, "Thank you for everything. You truly were wonderful tonight. Good night, Joshua. I love you."
"You're welcome," said Josh, turning off the table lamp, "You were even more wonderful. Good night, my sweet Donnatella. I love you too."
Josh and Donna shared one more kiss, and then headed off to bed, since tomorrow, their new White House journey was to begin.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight."
