Oh looky, even with that gold-plated congressional health insurance, you still have to sit in a waiting room for, like, hours when you go to the doctor's office. Kitty and The Senator kill time by counting votes on the climate bill via BlackBerry and then debating whether his wedding speech should start with the Khalil Gibran or the First Corinthians. Maybe a joke that has both? Maybe a metaphor ("The Prophet" is like a Bible verse...) Then a sad sad song starts up and you know The Senator is about to make some tear-jerky speech about love and I am already getting cold and calloused to insulate myself from the FEELINGS that are most likely about to ensue. The Senator says that love is sitting together in a waiting room pretending they aren't scared. That is love. And how the fear of losing her is too much and will change everything. And realizing that the one place you feel most alive is when you are lying next to her just breathing. Kitty tears up at that and as the tears roll down her cheeks, OBVIOUSLY then the doctor is ready to see her.
