Also, Spencer, why do you follow @HillStaffWatch?

Spencer

You’re the one who sent us that list of 25 Best Butts on the Hill, complaining you weren’t on it. You brought this on yourself.

Preston

That was like four years ago…

Spencer

And? They do great listicles! Plus, I do scientific research sixty hours a week. I need gossip that didn’t breed in a lab. Their stuff is gold.

Duncan

It was only a matter of time till you ended up on there, Prez. You’ve been getting a lot of attention since that school board speech.

They named Jax, too. Is she going to be okay with that?

Hunter

She’s engaged to a future politician. It was going to happen sooner or later.

Hayden

It’s just @HillStaffWatch. Does anyone follow it but Congress staffers? And Spencer, apparently?

Duncan

It’s good to be in the know.

Preston

I expected better from you of all people, Dunc.

Jax is right here and says her biggest regret is they’re showing my ass in this picture and not hers. She wants a chance to make the list next year too, and thinks her big break was wasted.

Hunter

She honestly might be perfect for you.

Hayden

For real.

Preston

I know.

“Jaqueline! Preston! My office. Now,” the senator bellowed as we were greeting Laurel.
