Since it was the first full day for the new administration, there would be countless meetings between President Santos and his new Senior Staff. Since most of the staff was new, the first of these meetings was taking longer than most would.
"Now, I know that most of you are new to this, and that's okay, because if I didn't believe in you, you would not be standing in this room right now," said Matt, "However, if you have any questions, and can't get to me, feel free to ask my Chief of Staff Josh Lyman or Deputy Chief of Staff Sam Seaborn. Does anybody have any questions now?"
"I have one for Josh," said Lou, who sounded a little nervous because she would have her first encounter with the press within the hour. "Is it just me, or are you just in a good mood today?"
Before Josh could answer Lou, Donna and Helen walked into the Oval Office.
"So, Josh, are you really in a good mood today or what?" asked Lou.
"Actually, Donna and I have something we want to share with all of you," said Josh. He then turned to Donna and asked her, "Do you want to tell them, or should I?"
"I'll do it," said Donna, knowing exactly what Josh was talking about. Turning back to the Senior Staff, she said, "Last night, Josh asked me to marry him, and I said yes."
After a few seconds of silence, everybody in the room started to cheer and congratulate Josh and Donna.
Ronna then walked into the room, and seemed totally confused.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"Josh and Donna are engaged!" was the unanimous exclamation.
Ronna went over to them and said, "Congratulations to the both of you. You'll be happy together."
After Josh and Donna thanked everyone, Matt regained himself long enough to say, "Okay, everybody except Josh is free to go. My staff, meet back here at 3:00 this afternoon."
After everybody left, Matt and Helen were all smiles to Josh and Donna.
"Wow. A new administration does mean new beginnings even outside the White House," said Helen, "Well; this is cause for a celebration. Matt and I would like to host a party to celebrate your engagement next Friday around 7:30 or so in the residence. It would be for you, the staffs, Matt and me, and any other people you would like to invite. How does that sound?"
"That would be lovely," said Donna.
"Thank you," said Josh.
"Our pleasure," said Matt, "It's not everyday our Chiefs of Staff become engaged, so we would feel honored to help you celebrate this special occasion. Once again, congratulations and see you later."
