California's 48th has been red for as long as most people can remember but Sam runs a good campaign on the issues and tries his best to deflect everything his opponent throws at him. There's the usual mud-slinging, most of which is fixated on the fact that Sam had once accidentally dated a call girl and then not-so-accidentally continued his friendship with her after he knew her chosen profession.

He thinks it helps that Ainsley's by his side. She makes an excellent candidate's partner and while she's still just his girlfriend, he has a ring in his pocket that's burning a hole and he thinks tonight is the best time to do it. He'll propose to her now, before they call it, and no matter what happens, hopefully she'll be with him through it all.

"Ainsley? Could I borrow you for a moment?" Sam pitches his voice a little lower, just enough to be audible above the excited din of the ballroom they've rented out to hold their party in. It's getting down to the wire, with the votes, and he's still deadlocked with the republican candidate. It might come down to the last few precincts before one or the other of them pulls away.

"Away from the cameras and the people? There's something I wanted to ask...talk to you about."

Ainsley's smile is starting to widen as she starts to think more about the wedding, their wedding, which is so new, but at the same time, it's so important to her even though it's a few hours old. "We'd want to make sure that everyone could get out here for the wedding," she says, her tears starting to cloud her eyes. "Sam, oh my god," she says, fanning her face to try and stop the tears. "Look what you did to me."

"They're ecstatic tears," she promises eagerly, trying to pull him closer. She keeps trying to get him in as close as she can, because now that they're engaged, she doesn't think she wants to ever stop touching him, not really. "Oh my god, you're going to win, Sam, I know it," she vows. "For all that it's a red district, people are more than happy to tell me that they like you, Sam. I mean, I'm thinking I have some influence on that," she boasts, teasingly.

Ainsley laughs as she tugs on Sam's hand to get him even closer to her, refusing to let him go because she loves having him so near. "And to think, before I got my clutches into you, you were a hopeless Democrat, never willing to see the light," she jokes, because she's had more than a few occasions in which she's been pulled onto his side of the carpet, though she doesn't love to admit it out loud.

Ainsley follows along and holds a little tighter to Sam, brimming with excitement both for the night, now, and for what's happening in their personal lives. She leans against him a little harder, making sure the ring stays somewhat hidden because she knows all too well that it could take away from the news.

She leans up to kiss his cheek as she leads him to a couch. "Come on. And you can get one of the interns to give you an update on the polls."

Ainsley grins when Sam gets into boss mode, having found it just adorable when they started to work together. Now, she's in a different position, but still finds it just as adorable as before. She leans her chin on his shoulder, smiling fondly as she plays with Sam's hair. "I think with me helping to bridge you into that so coveted red, you're going to win, but it'll have been an extremely tight race and you'll have to perpetually convince your constituents that you're actually representing their interests."

Ainsley gives him a devious little smirk as she wiggles her way slightly closer to his lap, positioned so that whatever she whispers to him isn't bound to get picked up by any of the news outlets. "I suppose now is as good a time as any to tell you about my sexual fantasies of being a sexy congressman's aide?"

"Well, there's always been a little inappropriate fantasy that involves me working late in a pencil skirt and you, the Congressman, overly concerned about the hours I've been putting in and clearly, it's going to take all your attention to make sure I'm not overworked," she drawls, giving him an amused smile.

Ainsley's smile grows even wider than before, something she hadn't really thought possible until just this moment. She gives him an encouraging smile, but gives his shoulder a squeeze. "I think maybe you should be kind and take the call in private, then announce it to everyone after. Be a gracious victor, Sam."

Ainsley sits there brimming with overjoyed pride as she watches her boyfriend -- no, not boyfriend anymore, her fiance -- calling and accepting the concession, on his way to being a Congressman and this fills about half of the fantasies she's had growing up. She keeps her hand covering up the left hand so that the ring stays hidden, having been serious about wanting the focus on this right now.

Except, when Sam announces, she's clapping and whistling the loudest of all, unable to contain her glee.

Ainsley lets Sam go and finds the champagne, indulging until the room is starting to get a little dizzy, at which point she eases off because that way leads to bathrobes and dancing and while she wouldn't mind dancing with Sam, they need more privacy than the party really affords. She leans heavy into his body, stumbling a little as she adjusts her bearing. "I'd love to give my time to my Congressman," she gets out, low and flirty.

Ainsley climbs in until she's nearly on top of Sam, keeping the window slightly down so she can get that ocean air she's loved so much about this coast, holding onto him even as they walk up the front steps, grateful she hasn't made too much of an embarrassment of Sam in front of the driver. "Well?" she prods. "I expected more bragging."

She's still trying to get used to the idea that she's going to be Sam's wife. It's honestly a little bit of a surprise, but in the best way possible. She shivers, slightly, and grins as she follows after Sam, winding her arm around his waist to curl in against him. "Seeing as I love to oversleep, I'll definitely be there when you wake up. I'll try and wake up a bit earlier for coffee and breakfast in bed to reward you," she says coyly.
