Summary
After winning the election, the Santos-McGarry Administration is running full speed ahead with their political agenda. Annabeth is faced with three job offers- three options for what her life will be like for the next four years. Does she take the cushy and women-led press secretary job for the First Lady? The high-intensity killer life of the White House press secretary? Or Leo's Chief of Staff?
And what about her pesky feelings for him that just won't seem to go away, no matter how hard she tries to ignore them and insist that he's just a friend?

Summary
Donna grins, threading her other hand into the crook of Sam’s elbow, and linking arms with both of them.
“So how often are you actually flirting with my girlfriend?” Josh jokes, the other two giggling together as they make their way down to the gate.
They don’t know where they’re going. They barely have a plan.

Summary
“You always stay in this hotel, in this room, when you’re here, if it’s free. Which it usually is.” Josh glanced down at his shoes, ears flushed a dull pink, and Sam’s heart stuttered in his chest like he was some high schooler with a crush. Oh. God, maybe he really had been an idiot. 23 years of knowing Josh, of not understanding why exactly he would drop anything for Josh, why he would do anything he asked, why Josh was the only person he really understood completely, really trusted, even when he was being a little bit of an idiot. 23 years it had stared him right in the face and somehow, he’d just never really realized. Or maybe he had and just didn’t want to think about it. The realization should have sent him hurtling into a panic, perhaps, spiraling into oblivion, but instead, it just made everything click, slot into place. Because of course, he loved Josh.
“What were you going to do if it wasn’t me?”
“Probably just… run away. I don’t know, I didn’t really think that far ahead.”

Summary
“So who’s going to be briefing the press?” Santos asked with a laugh. That laugh quickly died the longer Josh stared, mildly guiltily, at him. “...Josh, who’s going to be briefing the press?”
Or;
It's the Santos Administration’s second year in office, Press Secretary Annabeth Schott just lost her voice an hour before the daily briefing, and we all remember what happened the LAST time Josh Lyman briefed the Press.

Donna had once thought she’d be a lifer in politics. But when life threw her a curve ball even she couldn’t imagine, she was forced to re-evaluate what was most important to her and how she could be of most help – or perhaps least harm – to the people she’d once devoted her life.

Summary
"You two know each other?"
There's something unsettling about the way Donna's looking at him. It's desperate, almost pleading, a look so rare for her that he feels the beginnings of anxiety forming in the pit of his stomach.
"We do," The other man answers, "We actually dated years ago, back when I was starting in med school. It would have been, what? A little over a decade ago?"
He feels his heart rate skyrocket as all the pieces fall into place.
Dr. Freeride.
