Disclaimer: I don’t own them, Aaron Sorkin does. No disrespect intended. Author’s note: Thanks for all the great feedback. I’m glad you all like it. Yet another Josie story. This one directly follows "Old Memories" Rated PG Title: "Recess is Over- Because I Love You and Always Will." ---------- Josie sat in Leo’s office waiting for him to speak. *Why did he ask me to come? He’s not even talking to me. What is he afraid of?* Leo finally breaks the uncomfortable silence between them, Do you know why I asked you to come?" "He speaks and the answer to your question is no." Leo shakes his head and continues. "Josie, you know that letter I made you sign about the recess appointment." "Yeah." "Well, when I gave it to the President he was shall we say disappointed and when the cabinet position opened up he decided you should go back on the list. To make a long story short you’re here to meet with a bunch of people about working for the President, What do you say?" "I don’t understand. You wanted me off the list and now you’re saying I’m the front runner." "I didn’t say you were the front runner." "I’m back on the list?" "That’s what I said." "Josie, do you want to do this?" "You know I do." "Jo, this isn’t going to be easy. The papers are gonna dig deep and everything you ever did you’re gonna see in the papers." "I can handle it, if you are there for me." "You know I will be Josie. Speaking of the papers, they know about you and him." Leo said as he pointed to the adjoining door leading into the next office. "Oh, great and here I thought the first thing they would pick up would be the picture." "No, that’s not as sexy as a past relationship with the leader of the free world." "Thanks for the reminder." "Your welcome." "You know I still don’t forgive you for that." "I know but would did you expect me to do? He was..." "I know Leo. I was there and you did what I would expect you to do. There is still something I don’t understand though, How do you know?" "I know you too well Jo and I know him just as well. It was just instinct. You are my little sister Josie. It’s my job to protect you. Be glad Mom or Jim didn’t catch you" "I am. Why didn’t you tell?" "Because I love you and always will."
The End-- For now.
