It still makes me ashamed to think of my reaction when Leo told me that he and Ainsley were dating.

I stood in the Oval Office and told him that he was crazy, that what he was doing was going to cause more scandal than even this White House could withstand.

He didn’t shout, or scream, just shook his head and told me that he loved her, before walking out.

I spent a long time thinking of her as my best friend’s mistake.

Now, years later, I see the truth.

She was the best thing that ever happened to him.
