Welcome to the West Wing Drabble Bullpen, where I will post a series (hopefully) of drabbles on the West Wing, some of which may end up being seeds for longer stories later.

Parallel

Amy and Donna, during Commencement. 100 words

"Are you in love with Josh?" Amy heard herself ask, and damned herself for having drunk so many beers. She shouldn't have asked. She shouldn't have opened that door, but she had to know.

Donna had frozen, Amy noted, and slammed the book she was looking at closed, but didn't look up. Amy saw Donna's mouth tightening, and how she was fighting, and failing, to maintain a neutral expression.

"He's my boss", Donna said quietly.

Well. Wasn't that an interesting non-denial. Just like Josh's last year.

She probably did love him.

It didn't change one damn thing for Amy, though.
