Summary
His eyelids flutter open, gentler than usual. Blearily, he catches the alarm clock blinking a red 7:48 a.m. If this were five years ago, he would already be on his third cup of coffee. If this were five months ago, he never would have made it to bed in the first place.
But it’s now—and he wraps his arm tighter around Donna’s waist.

Summary
They’re definitely not dating when there is a presidential dinner and they don’t think to invite dates. Instead, they assume they’ll go with each other. Him in a black tux, her in a red dress. Their arms are interlocked as they enter the ballroom, and Donna even goads Josh into dancing with her. It’s friendly, nothing more.
They’re just having sex. That’s it.

Summary
They fall back into their comfortable silence, and she feels herself grow drowsy too. Her office becomes a bit fuzzier, and he seems warmer, closer and there. Sometimes, she thinks she should say something, say something beyond their platonic orbit. She could fall apart right here, spill the words that batter throughout her skull from time to time. But she’s tired and the world becomes quiet and she should go.
(She doesn’t).

Summary
She’s not sure what overcomes her, but she drops her sandals and wraps her arms around his neck, kissing him. His lips are chapped and taste like salt. The ocean roars in her ears, and she’s kissing Jane, and the sun beats down on her skin, and he’s kissing her back.
Soulmates, she briefly thinks. This is what it must mean.
How her body perfectly aligns with his. How his mouth slots over hers. How his hands curve around her ribcage.

Summary
Mark opens his mouth, as if to answer, and snaps his fingers. “She’s your girlfriend, isn’t she? I saw you kissing some chick before I got brought into here. I thought it might have been her, but I couldn’t believe someone like you would end up with someone like her.”
Jake takes a deep breath and curls his hand into a fist, trying to restrain himself from hitting the table. Mark’s eyes flicker down to Jake’s left hand, his silver wedding band shining in the light, and breaks into a laugh. “She’s your wife? This keeps getting better.”
(or, a suspect uses jake and amy's relationship against jake)

Summary
She looks to make a joke, something about how he doesn't know just how husband material he is, especially in a suit, but he has a seriousness to his eyes, dark and unwavering. Tentatively, she asks, "What changed?"
It's simple: "You. When I'm with you, I see everything. And marriage happened to be a part of that." His hand finds hers once again.
(or, donna and harvey and life in seattle.)
