Silence filled the room and panic filled josh's heart. He thought at that moment the best thing that could happen would be to pretend he was no longer there.

'Josh?' her voice asked calm and quiet.

'Yes,' he said in a more raised and inflamed manner. HE could hardly believe he had been so stupid. He could hardly believe he had said what he had said over the phone. He could hardly believe he was still that drunk.

'So,' she sighed, wiping away her tears and trying her best to smile. 'You remembered?'

'What?' he asked, honestly having no idea what she was talking about.

'Last night,' she told him.

'Ahh that.'

'Yes that,' she answered, trying her best not to cry, trying not to worry.

'Well I remember some things,' he answered. 'Why do you ask?'

'You were very sweet,' she told him. 'But you were also very drunk.'

'Donna,' he whined.

'Josh you said things last night that you've never said before. Some of those things were I admit extremely dumb and rash. But…'

"But what?'

'I don't know,' she paused. 'It just… I don't…'

'Donna,' he began. 'I don't know how to explain how stupid I feel.'

'You shouldn't,' she protested.

'I asked you to marry me,' he shouted.

'Yes I admit that was a little shocking,' she told him. 'But I mean I… don't you remember what I said.'

'Donna there are still quite a few pieces of last night that don't quite make sense,' he answered back. 'I mean until about three hours ago all I remembered was crying, beer and then more crying.'

'Right,' she responded. 'Well maybe we should just leave it with that. We… you were drunk… I don't think… Maybe we should just forget what we can and try not to remember the rest.

'Donna,' he protested. 'I just said…'

'I know…' she stopped him.

'There are just some things that can't be unsaid.'

She sighed. 'My dad died.'

'I know.'

'And then you were so great. You were there for me. You're here now, in a matter of speaking.'

'That's good?'

'Of course! But we can't do this.'

'Do what?'

'Josh after you told me you loved me… last night… and after the proposal with a less than awkward acception….you listed the many reasons why such things could never happen. So we can't do this.'

'Wait what?' he said quietly. 'YOU SAID YES!'

'Josh please.'

'Donna I don't care. Whatever I said I don't care.'

'Josh you will… you do… I do…'

"Give me one reason why we shouldn't…'

'Would you stop… You're being irrational.'

'Well maybe I am a little irrational,' he shouted.

'You're drunk,' she answered.'

'Yes,' he agreed. 'But I'm being courageous and not at all stupid so I would like some support here.'

'You have all my support,' she told him. 'I just don't want you to say something because you are drunk and then pull out the list of reasons why what you said was really stupid and you didn't mean to say it.'

'That won't happen,' he told her.

'It might,' she warned. 'Things matter to you.' It was a weird thing to say but to her it made sense. If he could remember the list of reasons he would agree.

'Why should any thing else matter?' he asked her. 'I love you. That's all I need to know and I hate that it took me this long to figure it out. And maybe getting drunk had a lot to do with it and maybe being just a little drunk now is helping with my nerves. But Donnatella Moss I love you. And it would please me more than anything else if you could just screw everything else and be with me.'

'Josh,' she said smiling through tears. He was right nothing else did matter. 'I just want you to be happy.'

'You make me happy.'

'And you make me..'

Suddenly there was a loud banging.

'Donna what are you doing in there!' Josh heard over the line.

'I'm on the phone,' she shouted back.

'Donna where are you?' Josh asked a little curious mostly worried.

'I'm in the pantry.'

Josh tried to stifle his laughter.

'Josh I have to go,' she told him. 'Can I call you later?'

'Sure,' he answered passively. Drunk Josh was not much better at being aloof.

'And Josh,' she said after a slow pause. 'I love you too.'
