Notes:Dia said something in a recent picspam about Psych, Corbin Bernson, Charlie and muffins and then my brain went kerplooey.
Her back was to him and she was staring out the frost-covered window when he came in to drop off some notes for Josh.
"He'll be back in a few minutes," she said, without turning around.
Charlie looked over his shoulder at the bullpen and then back at Donna. "How did you do that?"
Spinning around in the chair, she blinked innocently and asked, "Do what?"
"How did you know I was here? You were facing the window and I'm sure I didn't make any noise," he said, frowning at her.
"I just sensed someone was there," she said.
"Then how come you didn't think I was Josh?"
She sniffed, her nose wrinkling up in an adorably cute way. "I smelled your cologne."
Charlie looked at her suspiciously. "My cologne?"
Donna nodded. "Josh doesn't wear cologne, just aftershave, and it's a completely different kind of scent."
"That's one hell of a nose you have."
She shrugged. "I guess. My mom always said I had an over-developed olfactory sense."
Charlie shook his head. "I'm sure she did." He handed her the memos he was carrying. "These are from the President. He wants to talk to Josh about them as soon as he's back from the Hill."
Donna took them and then glanced at her watch. "Ok. But he's going to need a few more minutes to deal with CJ about the farming and agriculture thing first. I'll send him over as soon as they're done."
"Ok," Charlie muttered, leaving the office. He stopped when he heard CJ's voice from the lobby. He caught the words 'jackass' and 'pineapple' and then Josh's belligerent answer about too-tall press secretaries.
Poking his head back into Josh's office, he stared at Donna. "You did it again!" he marveled. "How did you know he was back already and with CJ?"
"Easy. She was looking for him earlier. I told her he was due back around two. And knowing CJ…"
"She decided to lie in wait." He gave Donna an evaluating look. "You're a devious woman, Donna Moss."
"I know."
