Chapter 1

He woke with beads of sweat trickling down his face. With a swipe of his palm across his forehead, Harvey Specter, New York's best closing attorney, recalled the dream that had just woken him from an already uneasy sleep. Inhaling sharply, he slowly casted a look around at his Upper East Side, glass-surrounded bedroom, he knew nobody was there. For a moment, he closed his eyes again, hoping she would appear there once more, but she didn't. In an instance, he knew in his heart what he needed. What he wanted. He had already lost the most important people in his life: Jessica, his father and his mother in one sense or another. He couldn't risk admitting how much he needed the woman in his dream, as admitting and telling her could result in him losing her forever. He needed her and even more so now.

After showering, Harvey stood in front of the mirror examining his newly tailored Tom Ford suit as he skilfully wrapped his dark grey tie. He tried to focus on his meetings that morning and case reviews and tried to engage his mind, so he pulled his phone from the charger and checked for any messages. Mike, Louis, Mike, Donna, Donna...

His eyes moved quickly down his list of messages, they lingered over the last two... This focusing thing, may be harder than what it seems this morning, he thought. And with that, images of her soared through his mind again, he closed his eyes to take it in and tried to file them away, somewhere only he could retrieve them from in his mind. He could never tell her, he couldn't break their bond. Her scent of Marc Jacobs, her soft skin and strawberry hair was stored for future reference in his mind as he set off down to Ray, who was waiting to take him downtown.

Chapter 2

'Feng Shui,' Louis implored, while gesturing with full animation at his newly arranged furniture, 'it's the art of cleansing one's mind, one's life and making a fresh start.'

'Hmmm, it's definitely something,' Rachel smirked as she placed the files on Louis' desk and swooped out of the door as quick as she came in.

'Fresh start is what I'm hearing a lot around here lately,' replied Harvey as he swept past Louis' office and towards his own.

'Harvey! Where have you been? I've messaged you all morning, I need to speak to you about the Norland and Grayson merger,' Louis said as he hurried along behind his friend. Louis always seemed to think of Harvey as his best friend, Harvey, on the other hand, wasn't really on his line of thinking in that area.

'What is it Louis? Make it quick, I have a full morning of being awesome, of which I know is beyond your mental capacity!' Harvey remarked while beginning to sort his files on his desk and not even giving Louis acknowledgement.

'Layton Norland has changed the terms of the contract length and Grayson are threatening to foreclose the merger!' panicked Louis.

'God dammit Louis!' Harvey shouted, while sending his pile of files across his desk, 'I gave you one thing to oversee today. I mean it, we're in a sinking ship, you're the co-captain, and co-captains don't let the lifeboats go!'

Louis' face was panic stricken, he never liked getting on the wrong side of Harvey, however this seemed to be happening quite a lot more recently since Jessica had left.

'Donna! Get me Layton Norland on the phone... now!' Harvey shouted without even checking his secretary was there. He just knew she was. As she always is.

Donna had always been there for every moment Harvey needed her. She was more than the best secretary the city had ever seen. She likes to think she's the reason that Harvey's the best corporate law closer the city's ever seen, but with him, that's still open to debate. Her petite frame and bouncy, red-flamed hair cascaded around her shoulders while she placed the call through to his office. He looked up through the glass to thank her, and for a moment he looked, just that little bit longer than what he normally would have. Momentarily, he forgot the importance of his imminent call, but memories of his night's sleep swept through his mind as Donna smiled gracefully back and swivelled towards her computer screen.

She was busying herself with paperwork and could sense he was there. Her chest flipped and her eyes lit up as she looked across to the other side of her cubicle.

'Hey!' she smiled, 'Everything sorted now? Louis felt so bad he's been prune blending for the past 30 minutes.'

'And that is why I need to clean up his shit,' Harvey said, his face wasn't as relaxed as she'd seen it before his encounter with Louis, but she knew he'd calm down soon enough.

'Well, how about drinks tonight? It's the opening night of my new play and I'd hate to break our tradition,' her eyes found his and she smiled. She loved sharing her special moments with him, he was her best friend, her life, her boss, her confidant. She knew him inside out, she knew his weaknesses, his strengths, his pains and happinesses. She didn't trust anyone more than she trusted Harvey. She felt safe whenever she was in his presence. Today however, she sensed a shift in the way he looked at her and spoke to her. He seemed to take that little bit longer, his look was softer and his eyes sparkled as he approached her that day.

'Well, in that case Miss Paulsen, count me in,' he smirked, which made his dark brown eyes relax and crease playfully as he tapped the top of her cubicle. He then turned on his heel and headed back towards his corner office.

That's just what he needed, he thought. His day had suddenly improved. As long as Louis stayed clear of his office.

Chapter 3

'Just a minute!' Donna called as she slipped on her black Monolos and headed towards her dressing room door. As she pulled it open, Harvey stood smiling dressed in a black button down shirt and dark grey trousers. It was summer, so the top few buttons were open - her eyes were instantly drawn to this and she couldn't understand why. In a sweeping motion, he pulled out a large bouquet of peonies and lilies.

'For you my dear Portia. You, as usual, we're the epitome of Shakespeare - it was Shakespeare wasn't it?' he smirked.

'Haha, thank you and yes it was.' she remarked curtly, yet playfully took her flowers from his hand.

Their usual bar was full, but their reservation was waiting, a small table towards the back. Harvey held the chair back for Donna to sit, he sat opposite and gestured to the waitress, 'Can we get two McKellan 26s please?'

'Hey, how do you I don't fancy a martini or dhaquiri?' She smiled.

'Because I know you,' he smirked as he handed her the glass after the waitress had brought their drinks to the table.

'So Mr Know It All, do you know what's happening with your own firm? You seem to know a lot about what I want, but I'm worried you're going to head down Louis' feng shui route of deterring from what's actually going on,'

'Feng shui? Is that what he's calling it now?' Harvey laughed as he sipped his drinks slowly.

'It's fine, we just need to agree on managing partner, I know it's me, but Louis needs reminding before he takes one merger deal too far and blows it for all of us,'

'I'd drink to that!' Donna smiled as she raised her glass. 'Look Harvey, he knows deep down its you, he just needs to know what's in it for him, he needs to have something to do, to feel like he's making an impact on the new firm. It's hard on him too, he relied on Jessica just as much as you did,'

'It's not losing Jessica that's effected my thoughts, as I know I still have you. What would I do without you Donna?' He smirked and linked eyes with her as she sipped from her glass.

'Well, we all know I run Specter Litt,' she joked as she flicked her hair back across her shoulder. He laughed and smiled in agreement with a quick raise of his eyebrows.

After a few more more drinks, Harvey felt more relaxed and the thoughts of the firm and Louis had drifted somewhat from his mind. His mind was now flitting back to images of his dream from the previous night. It was Donna, he knew that. Of course he knew that, because she was in every one of them. She was happy talking to him, but he wasn't focussed on a single word, his eyes lingered over her soft, peach skin. Her lips were moving but he watched her gestures and took in her beauty across her face.

'Harvey? Are you even listening to me?' she laughed, 'What's with you today?'

Chapter 4

Ray took them back through the bright streets of Manhattan to her apartment. He always walked her up to her door, mainly to make sure she's safe, but tonight he just wanted to spend those extra few minutes with her, he didn't want to leave her tonight.

'Don't forget you've got an 8:30 with THM Financial tomorrow,' she smiled as she turned the key, 'thanks for a fun evening.'

'Donna, I... Do you.. Do you ever think back to that moment, here in the doorway, thirteen years ago, when we didn't work together?' He asked holding the door open. She stopped and looked up, her face flushing but she tried not to show it.

'Hey pretty hotshot, that's something that doesn't get mentioned very often, and that's for a reason Mr,' she laughed as she placed her purse down on the sideboard. He stepped into the doorway and moved closer.

'I know we don't mention it, but it doesn't stop me from thinking about it. I've always thought about, what would have been if you didn't come to Pearson Hardman with me. What do you think we'd be doing now?'

She smiled and tilted her head to one side, 'Probably exactly what we're doing now. Harvey, we're friends and always have been, always will be. Yes that night was special and it was something that made us both realise and appreciate what we have.'

If only she believed this herself, it's taken her years to accept her relationship with her boss, her best friend. If she ever had the chance for more, would she take it? It was a question she'd happily, honestly answer with a 'yes'.

'What if I don't want this, what if I want everything?'

'What's that supposed to mean?' her face covered with confusion.

Harvey moved closer, she could smell his cologne as his eyes fiercely met hers. She could sense his sincerity, his hopefulness and his love for her. She gave in. Her heart decided before her head, and the next moment she found her hands were sliding up through his hair and letting their lips touch as he leant down to kiss her slowly and tenderly. He brushed her hair away from her cheek as he pulled away and took in every inch of her face.

Donna placed both hands on his chest and leant her head into him. His safe scent and warmth of his body made her mind suddenly more alert.

'Harvey, we can't, you know this.'

He brushed his hair back as he exhaled. He placed his hands in his pockets and smiled, 'Are you sure? This isn't going to go away you know? You can't undo this moment, you feel it too, I know you do. Things have changed Donna, the firm's changed, I've changed, we can do this.'

Again, Donna began to think with her mind, not her heart.

'Goodnight Harvey,' she smiled and placed her hand gently on the side of his cheek. As she closed the door, her body collapsed against it. What was she doing? She had wanted him to say those words to her for years. Her body ached for those words so why had she just pulled away? She knew how she felt, her heart guided her next move. She pulled the door open in one fluid, decisive moment; she knew he'd still be there.

'I love you Donna, always have and I always will,' he said stepping closer back into her doorway.

'I know you do and that's why I love you too,' she smiled as she curled her arms around him and that this time, they knew the kiss wasn't going to stop. He guided her backwards into her apartment and closed the door behind him with his foot.

'Nicely done Mr Specter!' she smirked as she pulled him towards her eager body.

With ease, he lowered her slowly down on to her bedsheets, their lips still not leaving each other. His kisses lightly swept across her jaw and brushed tenderly around her neck as she eagerly raised her body away from the sheets to be against him. There was no going back, they knew this already as it was going to be a night to make up for thirteen years.

Chapter 5

'You can thank me later..' Mike boasted as he stood in the glass doorway of Harvey's office.

'I'm busy later, but schedule it in for the next decade,' Harvey quipped, deadpan without looking up from his MacBook.

'Don't you even want to know?... No? Well, now I'm here, I will ease you from your obvious high levels of anticipation,' Mike continued sarcastically, as he walked further into his boss' office and placed his hands on top of the leather chair facing Harvey, who still had not looked up to acknowledge his newly appointed Junior Partner.

'I was looking over the Johnson deposition again last night, as I just had a feeling we missed something, and we did,'

'And what was that?' his boss finally responded, still not rising his head above the laptop.

'Remember when he said the case needed to be finalised by the end of the week, I noticed him say this at least three times. Well, it doesn't take a genius, even though I am one' he smirked to himself, 'to work it out...' he waited patiently for Harvey's response.

A few seconds later, 'Really? Nothing? I guess I am a bad ass then. Well, for someone who mentioned it that many times, there's an obvious reason for it. So I started to look at other stock share deals happening within the same market, and guess what?' There was a split second pause...

'Randler Solutions!' Harvey exclaimed and reached to his office phone. 'Donna, call Ray. Mike and I are taking a trip.'

'Well, well, well, would you look at that. Not such a pretty face after all, are you boss?' Mike responded, as he followed Harvey out of the office and down to his driver, who was waiting at the black Lexus.

For the best part of three days, Donna and Harvey's communication existed mainly through the telephone intercom, emails and texts about work. They had not mentioned the other night since, neither one knew what the other was thinking, which was a rarity for these two.

Donna was idly leant up against the copier as she waited for copies of depositions, when Rachel walked in carrying a file box.

'Hey you,' Rachel smiled, 'Hey Donna?' She realised Donna hadn't even noticed her walk into the file room. Slowly, Rachel placed the box down on the table and walked to the side of her.

'Hey!' she said again, this time Donna jumped from her stupor and her momentary deep thought, and grabbed the copies from under the copier hood.

'A dime for your thoughts?' Rachel asked crossing her arms and looking concerned for her friend. 'What's going on? Are you ok? You've seemed so un-Donna like all week!'

'Un-Donna like? Is that even a thing?' Donna asked. 'I suppose it is!'

'Are you going to tell me what's happened? Have you had a fall out with Harvey? Louis? ... Mike?' Rachel asked placing her arm on Donna's.

'Trust me Rach, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.'

'Try me!' replied Rachel, hands on hips and fixing Donna with an 'I'm practising my interrogation stance for court' pose.

'I'm sure whatever it is, it's really not worth staring at 1,500 case file boxes for half an hour!' Rachel laughed.

'I slept with Harvey,' Donna replied, quicker than what Rachel thought she would have.

'Ok, what? When? And more importantly, why?'

'I'm still having a think about the why part, I'll get back to you on that one. However, the other two I can easily answer. I slept with Harvey Specter three nights ago.'

Rachel was thinking hard about her next question.

'It's complicated Rachel. We both wanted it but since the other night he's barely spoken to me and he's not even mentioned anything about it'

'Well, have you spoken to him about it?' Rachel enquired.

'Well, no...'

'Well, haven't you just thought that's probably exactly what he's thinking too? Come on Donna, I thought you knew these things!'

'Hmm, maybe not, my Donnaness is defunct at the moment. Hey, there's another new Donnaism!' she smiled, trying to change the subject. 'You're right, I'll try to speak to him when he and Mike get back from their meeting.'

'Oh, and one more question... was it good?' Rachel smirked.

'Hell yeah!' Donna sauntered back out of the file room, copies in hand and swept back to her desk.

Chapter 6

It was close to 10pm when Donna saw Harvey sat in his office about to look through one last case file, he didn't know she was still at the office until she appeared in his doorway.

'Hey, I'm going in a minute, is there anything you need before I leave?' she asked.

'Donna, you've never asked me that before, as you always just do it anyway.' he smiled, looking up from his scotch glass. 'So, what's up?'

'What's up? Really? You want to know what's up?' she walked further into his office and sat opposite him on the black leather sofas. He sensed her tone, and knew what was coming.

'What's up is the fact that we haven't spoken about what happened the other night. You said we'd be fine in the office, but this is far from fine. What do you want Harvey? Because, I'm being honest here, like I was the other night, and I want you. I want us.'

Harvey stood up and poured a splash more scotch from the glass decanter then walked over to the window and looked out upon the New York skyline. He sipped his drink as his other hand stayed inside his pocket. Donna wasn't sure whether to join him, as she knew this meant he was thinking. After what had seemed far too long, he spoke,

'If we're to do this, and I mean do this properly, the way we should have thirteen years ago, then we need to think about how it's going to effect us, everyone around us and also this firm.' he continued, 'You and I are the bones of this place, if we show any cause for the partners to be unsure about our capabilities, I'm not guaranteed their vote for continuing Managing Partner after we merge with Robert Zane.'

'It's not like I haven't thought about that too,' Donna replied getting up off the sofa and walking to stand next to him, her eyes fixed out to the nighttime view of Fifth and Lexington with Times Square alight in the distance. 'This place isn't just work Harvey, it's my family. You're my family, so are Louis, Mike, Rachel. I wouldn't want anyone to think that of us.'

'Well,' he turned towards her, 'then let's not give them anything to get concerned about, we're strong and being together properly will make us, and the firm, even stronger.' He smiled and kissed the top of her head as he pulled her in to a hug.

'I love you,' she sighed, turning to look out to the city.

'I've always loved you Donna.' he smiled.

A few moments later, Donna looked up to see his face had changed in a way which she knew he'd be up to no good, as his childish grin and raised eyebrows gave it away. 'Let's say we have a bit fun whilst letting everyone know tomorrow shall we?'

'What do you have in mind Mr Specter?' she enquired, although she didn't need to know the answer, she had a pretty good idea. And she knew who the first unsuspecting person was going to be...

Chapter 7

Louis Litt was the kind of man who everyone loved to hate. Mainly because everyone hated loving him. He and Harvey had very much that; a love, hate relationship. Ever since they'd worked together in the bullpen as associates under Daniel Hardman, they had been friendly rivals. Upon Harvey's return to Pearson Hardman, after his stint at the District Attorney's Office downtown, Louis had been less than pleased with his new addition - Donna. It wasn't Donna that Louis had the actual problem with, in fact, he had built a strong bond with her over their joint love for amateur dramatics and Shakespeare, it was more the fact that she worked for Harvey.

Harvey thrived in making Louis' life a constant train of insults. The fact that Harvey had a secretary and Louis didn't, this did not go down too well. Louis had always hoped he and Donna would be more than friends one day, and he always held on to that hope, knowing her and Harvey weren't together, together. After Louis' latest failed relationship with Shelia Sazs, Donna was there for him as a shoulder to cry on, so was Rachel and also in their own ways: Harvey, Mike and Jessica. However, Louis didn't do himself any favours...

'Good morning Louis!' chirped Mike as he crossed his path, whilst the older man was exiting the elevator of Specter Litt on the 50th floor.

'Really? Good? Good Morning?' Louis glared at the Junior Partner whilst scrunching up his face in disgust.

'Um, well it was from my side of the bed that I woke up from,' Mike smiled, 'What's up Louis?'

'Well, not only has Finch, Stavrov and McClane filed a pointless counter suit against our client, but someone, and I'm not pointing any fingers here,' he pointed and waggled his finger in Mike's face, then continued, 'has taken my last bran bar from the associates' lounge!'

Mike thought for a moment, and studied the short and balding, Senior Partner's angry, pulsating face.

'Hmm, judging by your apparent hostility towards me this morning, I'm gathering that you are thinking that person is me?'

'It's not the first time, 'Fraud', you've taken one from me!'

'Really? We're going there? Aren't you a friendly little flower today!' Mike proclaimed, smiling as he flicked Louis' tie out from its neatly tucked position behind his suit jacket, which then promptly hit him on his irregularly large nose.

'See you later Louis, and don't worry, I'm off to sort out your first problem, however, the second problem tasted so delicious I couldn't possibly give it you back!'

'Total dick,' Louis mumbled as he stalked back towards his office.

Outside Harvey's office, Donna was just finishing a call to court to arrange Harvey's merger affidavit reading alongside Robert Zane.

'What time is it?' Harvey asked as he stepped out of his office.

'I've scheduled you in to Judge Lanzo's three o'clock hearing,' Donna smiled, placing the receiver back on the phone.

Just then, Harvey heard Louis' voice and he turned to Donna.

'Well, it's now or never...' he smirked and grabbed her by the waist and kissed her in a way that it was obviously meant to be. Harvey had timed it perfectly, just as Louis Litt had turned the corner, his beady eyes met Donna, who had succumbed to Harvey's charms.

Louis froze and took every inch of the scene in.

'Er, I umm... I need a day!' he exclaimed and turned on his heel and marched straight back to the elevator promptly getting his therapist up on speed dial.

'Well, that was just like pulling off a fun, multi-coloured band aid!' Harvey laughed as he kept his grip on Donna. He felt comfortable with her around the office, more so now Jessica had gone, as the firm was now his. Now he had everything, his firm and his Donna. Harvey being Harvey, then pulled out his cell, to ring Louis.

'I suppose I had better check on him. Last time he stropped out of here like that, we lost half a million Dollars in billings!' Harvey laughed as he dialled Louis' number.

'Are you going soft in your old age Reggie?' Donna smiled as she headed off to the copier.

'Hey, what's with the old? I'm not old.' he called after her. 'And what's with the Reggie? God dammit Mike!'

She didn't reply. Just smiled and walked.

Chapter 8

As the sun rose early over Manhattan, Donna's eyes began to flicker open. She smiled and rolled over and saw him continuing to sleep peacefully. She watched his chest gently rise and fall, he looked so calm and peaceful. She didn't want to wake him, as let's be honest, they hadn't had much sleep to be fair, so quietly she slipped out of bed and pulled on one of his Harvard t-shirts from the side drawer. Carefully, she tiptoed from the room and across the spacious apartment to the kitchen.

Even though this wasn't Donna's apartment, she knew where pretty much everything was. So she helped herself to the coffee machine and made herself an espresso, she definitely needed the energy this morning; she smiled inwardly knowing exactly why. After pouring her drink, she walked out on to the balcony to watch the sun rise fully over Central Park. All of a sudden, she felt a hand slide warmly around her waist. She smiled and held it tightly against her.

'Morning handsome,' she smiled and leant her head back against his chest. 'I tried to let you sleep longer as I know you have a full schedule today.'

'I had a full schedule through the night too,' he smirked. She turned and blushed as she sipped her hot coffee.

'I've got a feeling though, your busy schedule for today, won't be half as exciting as last night,' she laughed.

'I hope it's not - I have a joint deposition meeting with Louis at 9.' Harvey laughed, still holding Donna tight as they both looked out across the Upper East Side.

After breakfast, the pair then headed down to Ray who was waiting outside the building.

'Well this certainly beats a cab,' Donna smiled as she opened her purse to check her make up.

'You know, we could do this every morning if you like?' Harvey suggested as he looked over to her.

'Nice, but it's out of your way to come down to mine every morning Harvey, I'm sure you'd rather get straight to the office.'

Harvey smiled warmly and looked straight at her and lowered her mirror down so he could see how serious he was.

'I don't think you've understood me, I meant we should leave from mine every morning.'

Donna looked taken aback, she's never misunderstood someone before, what's got in to her? Harvey had sent her natural Donna instincts all over the place.

'Well, now you come to think of it, that would make more sense,' she smiled and leaned over to kiss him.

'And don't think I've forgotten this weekend either,' he smirked as Ray pulled up at a red light.

'Harvey, I'd expect nothing less, it's the only date I refuse to put on your calendar, as you should know it. It should be imprinted on your mind for the past thirteen years!' she laughed. He was talking about her birthday. Usually he'd buy her an expensive gift, or in other words, she would get herself something along the lines of a Hermes bag using his card and tell him what he had got her, however, this year, Harvey has other plans.

'This year, I'm getting your gift, and it's something you've never had before,' he smirked.

'Oh really, how do you know what I have?' she quipped.

'Me,' he smiled as Ray opened his door and he stepped out, buttoning up his suit jacket at the same time then walked up the steps to the building.

'What do you mean you?' Donna queried as they entered the elevator. Harvey pressed the 50th floor button and turned to face her, 'I'm getting you just me. We're going away this weekend, just the two of us, no Specter Litt, no work.'

Donna couldn't contain her smile, 'Sounds like the perfect present to me!' The elevator doors opened and they walked out into the offices of Specter Litt.

'Hey, I'd need a new bag to pack...' Donna laughed as she walked off down the corridor.

'Already sorted, Hermes are expecting your call...' he quipped back and headed to the conference room.

'I already have, hot shot!' she waved behind her as she headed to her desk.

Later that morning, Donna was in the associates' break room fixing herself a coffee when she felt a presence over her shoulder. She knew that feeling well.

'How are you Louis?' she asked without turning around and continued to stir her drink.

'I come bearing gifts! Or should I say the best birthday gift a Shakespearean fan could wish for...' Louis looked like he was about to burst with excitement and was fidgeting his feet. Donna spun on the spot!

'Nooooo!' she smiled, 'You have tickets to Twelfth Night?' her hands started to flap with anticipation.

'Not only tickets, but opening night tickets, gold balcony VIP entrance...' he trailed off as she had already grabbed the wallet from his hands and had started studying the tickets.

'Wow! Louis this is amazing,' she scanned across the ticket but her face suddenly straightened when she noticed the night. Saturday.

'Oh no Louis, this is the most amazing gift, but it's this Saturday!' she explained.

'I know, do you know what lengths I went to, and by I went to, I really mean Gretchen got them,'

'Of course.' Donna agreed, knowing full well Gretchen's war chest of capabilities.

'This is amazing Louis, thank you so so much, but...I'm going away with Harvey this weekend,' she said handing the tickets back to Louis, whose face began to scrunch up in confusion.

'What?!' he looked complexed. 'I didn't realise you were there yet' he took the tickets from her hand and marched back out of the break room.

'Louis!' she called after him, she thought best to leave him alone, she'd speak to him later. As soon as he'd left the room, in walked Mike.

'I was waiting for him to leave...' Mike said as he went to Louis' cupboard of bran bars.

'I wouldn't upset him today,' Donna warned as Mike began chewing on one of Louis' precious bars. 'I've just had to let him down gently,'

'Has he still not accepted you and Harvey yet?' Mike asked throwing the offending bran wrapper in the trash.

'Hey, since when did you know?' she asked.

'Oh Harvey told me. Well, more of I told him I knew, as you two are the worst secret keepers I know. Oh, and Rachel told me too,' he smiled, 'it's ok, I'm used to being the last to know.'

'To be honest, we didn't want anyone to know just yet, but that hasn't seemed to work out has it?' she explained sipping her coffee.

'Come on Donna, you two might as well have been together for the past, God knows how many years, you were meant to be. I hope you both have a great weekend away.'

'He told you?' she was taken aback.

'Told me? I helped plan it!' he laughed, 'laters!' he gestured goodbye and left.

Donna laughed to herself, she should have known keeping secrets from anyone of her friends around here wasn't going to be easy.
