"Josh?" she answered her phone.

"Donna?" he replied. "I thought maybe you'd be flying now."

"No," she told him. "There was some kind of delay."

"Right," he said. He paused. He had no idea what to say.

"Why'd you call?" she asked.

He had to make up a reason, "I just wanted to see if you were okay."

She smiled to herself. Any man, who could make her smile on a day like this, or a night like the night before, was a man who deserved her love.

"I'm fine," she told him, teary eyed even then. "But that's not why you called is it?"

Sure she was telling the truth, but he would be the last one to admit it. "No," he began. "Can't I be sincere, and considerate?"

"Yes," she told him. "But you would have called at least a few hours from now to be sincere and considerate. I'm lead to believe that since you though I'd be flying your call was one of panicked drunkenness."

"I'm not drunk," he told her instantly.

She laughed. "Has Toby killed you yet?"

"Well there was some yelling," he told her. "Which was very unpleasant because…"

"Because you have a huge hangover," she finished for him. "Well I guess I can take some of the heat for that."

"Donna," he began then stopped.

"Yeah?"

"What happened last night?"

She smiled, but felt her heart sink. She had been hoping he would remember. She had been hoping he would never forget. Still that was too much to hope for. Josh had been too drunk to remember where he put his wallet and his keys let alone anything he had said.

"We didn't have sex if that's what you're wondering," she assured him.

He didn't feel completely satisfied. "Did I do…?"

"You didn't do anything wrong," she told him. Other people might have thought that Josh's actions had crossed the line between boss and assistant, to lover and romance. She didn't think he had done anything wrong. "Don't worry Josh. You were sweet. You were great."

"That doesn't sound much like me." He answered with a smile.

"Well you were pretty drunk," she answered. He heard him sigh. "You shouldn't worry about it Josh. You need to have you're head there today."

"Right Budget meeting," he answered.

Sam suddenly came into his office. "Why are you on my phone?"

Josh looked up. "Donna I have to go."

Suddenly Sam's eyes became bright. He felt his ego swell, Josh had followed his advice. He also thought that it was extremely cute, something he could mock Josh for doing.

"Okay," she said plainly.

"I'm sorry about…"

"Thanks," she cut him off. She didn't want his pity. She would rather have him not remember anything than have his pity.

"Bye," he hung up the phone.

She held the phone to her ear a moment longer. "You were kind. You were sweet. You told me you loved me."
