Late that night CJ was in her office preparing for tomorrow, deep in
thought, ‘I told him that because he was a reporter and I was the Press
Secretary that it couldn’t work. That we couldn’t be seen together
because of what it would look like. Now that he’s an editor, I can’t or
rather we can’t for the same reason, we can’t even be friends. This job
is like being back in high school, where if you were seen together then
you must be an item, even if you were just having some fun together. If
your not an item, which most of the time you weren’t you can’t do a
thing because the rumor of your relationship that doesn’t exist has
already reached the principal. I don’t care what it looks like I care
what it is, dear God now I sound like Sam but it’s time I take his
advice and see Danny one more time, to wish him luck.’

“Carol I’m leaving!”

“Okay.”

CJ gathered her things and walked out the door.
