The President's Bedroom

Night's heavy drape smothers the presidential bed as aides hustle suitcases toward the door, Abbey sweeping in with sweater gripped tight, folding garments in pointed evasion. Charlie darts through on clipped errand, spiking the hush before Bartlet corners her—MS secrets ignite, fury lashes with tears, their no-reelection pact pulverized. Desperate 'I love you' hangs shattered as bags vanish and isolation floods the rumpled sheets.
