The last time Sam saw his apartment, he didn't expect it to be the last time.
"And there are extra linens in the closet," he said, leading Will through the small rooms. "Towels, sheets, stuff like that. But feel free to rifle through the drawers to find whatever you need, okay?"
He figured it wouldn't be a big deal. He'd be home soon enough, and maybe he could even convince Will to stay, just for a little while at first, but hopefully for longer. He was going to lose this, he knew it, and once he did there was no other option, no other office he could think about holding, and as he watched Will hold back a small smile and lightly touch shelves and drawers in the bedroom, he decided he was maybe mostly okay with that. It was Bartlet's second term and they didn't have to worry about reelection anymore. When this congressional run ruined his own career, he wouldn't have to worry about that either. For the first time in his life, he wouldn't have to worry about anything but his own feelings, but what he wanted.
He smiled at Will then, and later, after they'd fucked their way through stilted goodbyes, he gathered up his suitcases and briefcase and took a quick glance around the room before heading down to get a taxi to the airport.
After the scandal, after the victory, after the long, silent phone call with Will, Sam spent a long time sitting on the stoop of the building across the street, staring up at the dark window of what was once his bedroom. At the end of the month, the lease would change to Will's name and at the end of the week, Sam would be moving somewhere new.
He thought about the long conversation with Will and had a feeling that he'd never get a chance to see the inside of his old apartment again.
