    Summary

    by Fiona Pickles

    It's late 2003, Josh Lyman is in disgrace for 'losing' a Democratic Senator, and suddenly nobody even wants to know his name. That's why he's suspicious at first when someone new walks into his life, apparently with every intention of staying. Josh believes that anybody who looks too good to be true probably is, so he isn't in any hurry to trust the charming Congressman Matt Santos - until, that is, an unexpected facet of the man's character is suddenly made clear to him. But nothing worth having is ever that easy, and when his own desires come into conflict with the needs of his country Josh has to get his priorities in order and make a decision that could alter the future of the world.

    Summary

    The same night awaits us all...

    People come and go throughout the night, flitting in and out in a whirlwind of coffee and hushed voices.

    Donna and Sam don’t leave. They remain as the two lone sentries, flitting in and out of various states of shock.

    (Donna goes through five cups of bland, room-temperature coffee during those fourteen hours.

    Fourteen hours, and all Donna can do is toy with a thread on her jeans. There’s a hole in the knee, denim frayed and faded.

    She felt like that thread— taut and worn, very near the breaking point.)

    "Donna," Leo says in a low voice, but his tone is a warning: it's "Keep it together. I can't deal with neurotics. "

    Summary

    It felt like, when he was with Sam, some of the pressure of the world lessened. He was more himself around Sam than he had ever been around anyone else. In the midst of the mess that was Josh’s life, Sam was a solid foundation, a constant, reassuring presence.
