It's Not My Party
Ellie Bartlet, The Wedding, 100 words
Ellie Bartlet loves her father. She takes after her mother, followed her into medicine, but most of all she loves her father. And she's proud of him, of what he did for New Hampshire, of what he's done for America.
She's happy he's giving her away to the man of her dreams.
But she's not happy it's like this.
Looking out over the sea of dignitaries, politicians and campaign workers, waiting for him to come get off the phone to China, she closes her eyes and wishes, not for the first time, that he had stayed as an economics professor.
