Summary: He's jumping up and down when she comes into his office.

Notes: Written for writing_game prompt "jump."


He's jumping up and down when she comes into his office, and she leans against the door frame, watching.

"What are you doing?" she asks, and he turns around, almost falling.

"What? Nothing. There's a file I need, and I can't reach it."

She resists the temptation to ask how he got the file up there in the first place if he can't reach it, and shrugs instead. "Why don't you ask CJ?"

"Ask CJ what?" After a minute, he catches her meaning, and shakes his head. "No. I don't need CJ for this."

"Okay." But he's on the defensive, now, and she knows he isn't going to give this up.

"I don't," he insists, and she smiles.

"Okay."

"I'm not short." But she can see him straighten almost unconsciously, and it takes an effort not to laugh.

"I know."

"Good."

A minute after she leaves, she hears a crash from his office, and turns around.

"Donna! Can you get CJ in here?"
