Chapter 1
Late Thursday Afternoon:
Amy delivers her speech, and it touches all the hearts of the viewers on C-Span and many on Capital Hill. People everywhere are standing and cheering. She and Bruce go out to celebrate, and they talk about all the stuff that caused him to leave. He apologizes for not being supportive or understanding lately. He tells her he noticed she hasn't really been herself lately, and seemed so distant and unhappy. He's such a good friend, and can see the inner struggles she's been having the last few weeks.
They make plans for the next morning for coffee to continue figuring things out, he gives her a hug, and they say goodnight.
On her way up to her room, a couple is in the elevator, and they're hugging. The woman say's to him "I didn't know I could ever be this happy." and they share a long kiss. Amy looks uncomfortable, and waits impatiently for her floor to come.
Amy, now standing in her hotel room, she looks out the window onto Capital Hill, and she, under her breath she says, "I did it, please let it make a difference!" She then starts to recall the last time she was with David, on her porch swing, and how she hugged him before he left, and told him that she was never as happy as she was with him. She says to herself, what have I done David, I am so very sorry. Tears fill her eyes and Amy begins to cry
Friday Morning
Amy's in the shower, and closes her eyes to rinse her shampoo. Her mind drifts to the first time David kissed her in her office. She'd never felt such intense passion then when David held her back when she tried to pull away. She looked at him and he closed his eyes and leaned in to kiss her. She was finally going to kiss him; she closed her eyes and kissed him for the first time. The passion in his kiss was overwhelming and she felt her knees become weak beneath her. She fell back to her desk, and then looked at David; he closes his eyes and gently kisses her again and leaves. Amy remembers how her stomach felt like butterflies were fluttering inside of it. Amy just stood there in her office and realized that she was now falling in love with David. Suddenly Amy opens her eyes, and touches her lips, and then turns the shower on to COLD!
Later at the coffee shop she greets Bruce, they sit and stare at each other for a few seconds. She says "what?" then he says, "Hype has it that they heard you Amy, the laws are probably changing even as we speak!" Amy, "Awe Bruce, having you beside me made all the difference, I was so nervous, and then I saw you, and I felt like I was in my courtroom delivering that speech! We make a good team Bruce, if these laws do change for the good, we can go back to work and really make a difference now. I'll get back some of the power that I need to do that. Come back to work with me Bruce, I just can't face my courtroom without you. The last few days there were so hard with you gone. I kept looking over at your chair, and seeing it empty just seemed to drain my energy. I could barely keep it all together. Please say you'll come back Bruce! I need you, I need you." She reaches over and touches his hand, nodding her head. "I'm there Judge Gray, you've got my vote. How can I say no to the woman who just duked it out with the entire U.S. Senate!" Amy raises her fists, and says "you can't!" they both laugh.
Then Bruce says to Amy, "are you sure you don't want to stick around and try to move into that big white house over there?" She responds, "No thanks, that house doesn't have a happy family in it, the white house that I live in someday, will have!" "That's your dream, that's it?" Bruce asks, "Too much to ask?" she says. Then Bruce says" I guess, it seems like that sometimes doesn't it? Maybe we're the kind of people who don't get to have that particular dream." "Yah, maybe so." Amy agrees, with a sad look on her face.
They both agree to meet for dinner later that evening. Amy leaves and hails a cab. She looks out her window as it drives slowly past the White House. She starts to think about the day David told her he sold his boat, and bought her the Mcqwynne house. "You loved your boat David!" she says in a sympathetic tone. David looks at her and smiles, "I love you more than any boat Amy. Now we can be that happy family you always dreamed of being. And I know you won't be happy living on my boat!" they both laugh. She says to him, "Am I dreaming all this? Am I going to wake up soon David?" He pulls her close to him and says, "if this is a dream, then I'm glad I'm in it with you!" He kisses her and she hugs him tightly, then they walk up the steps together, holding hands.
The cabby honks his horn and yells at another driver. Amy opens her eyes, she says under her breath, "he sold his boat."
