Summary: I blame Lauren for this one, my mind started working after a comment on the newsgroup months ago. This has been brewing for awhile.

It's sort of CJ/Danny.

"Hey."

She looked up and smiled. "Hey Danny. Long time no see."

He smiled at her and leaned in to whisper, "Been busy buying your birthday present."

She laughed, delighted at his slight flirting. Her heart rate picked up a bit at his nearness. "We'll stick with that story for now. Do you need a comment on that story? I mean gift?"

He laughed. "Yeah, that'd be great."

She nodded and got up, walking over to the door connecting the Press Secretary and assistant offices.

"CJ?"

"Yeah, Carol?" she asked, never looking up from her files.

"Danny's here."

CJ looked up with a slight smile that was quickly suppressed. "Thanks Carol. Send him in."

Carol smiled at Danny and moved out of the doorway to let him into CJ's office.

She sighed as she sat back down at her desk, wishing CJ would make up her mind and stop stringing Danny along.
