Came over from your post on west_wing_fans.

I just finished reading this and now I'm so depressed...

*GRIN*

This is very well-written, and has great dialogue that reminded me very well of all these characters. It made me very sad for Sam and very frustrated and sad for Josh, for his inability to let go and admit things about himself. I kept waiting for him to figure it out, and stop the behavior, and turn to Sam, and it just never happened. Your story creates an ache.

Thanks for your really lovely comment. I felt that in the Season 7 scenes, with Josh and Sam, that Sam was barely containing his irritation with Josh and I thought this explained why.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, and I'm sorry it took so long to reply.

Aah, this was very nice. Very the West Wing, and you can't go wrong with setting your scene around the Supremes, because it's a great episode.

It has a tortured Washingtonian quality that rings true to life.

Thanks very much for your very nice comment!

The Supremes is a great episode, isn't it? It was a shame that Glenn Close didn't come back for Season 7, because I thought they could have had a nice moment between her and President Bartlet at the Inauguration.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment and sorry it took so long to reply.

This was wonderful - it felt so true to the show, in the flow and urgency of it all, and the dialogue. And Josh and Sam's relationship felt so very believable too, if heartbreakingly sad.

[dipenates]

Thanks so much, Oxoniensis. There's pretty much no higher praise than being told your dialogue is even remotely, vaguely, slightly, through-a-glass-darkly reminiscent of Sorkin's, so I'm squeeing over that comment. Thanks!
