[ Sam gets it. And he sure as hell isn't about to get himself out of it even if the wings out the corner of his eye are large, in charge, and more than a little... Yeah.
Another ache stabs at his chest hearing Josh and he almost catches himself saying he missed him too but— That's not right. It isn't. He swallows hard because he hasn't had to miss Josh because his Josh apparently didn't get the short straw (and when the short straw wasn't a day's worth of surgery and months of recovery what the hell did that say about how the universe works?). ]
...Donna's Canadian.
[ He blurts it out against Josh's neck because. Because— In all the things that Josh has missed out on without being missed — the Congressional censure, Leo's hearings, Ritchie and the election, Toby and the kids, Horton Wilde, and oh, god, Mrs. Landingham — it's too much. There were good days in there, successes, but when Sam looks back at the scorecard right now it's with bleak eyes and the doubt that any of them could've happened without Josh there egging them on and driving them all insane.
Also because all else aside, Sam's brain is weird in the way that Josh's is and as soon as he says it he thinks it was the right thing to say. ]
