Inevitable

"I'm asking you not to put me in a position to leave the job that I love, a job that feels like I've worked my whole life to get. I'm asking you as a woman and as a professional, please don't do that."
"I want to say yes to you, but can you swear to me that nothing like that will ever happen again? That. That right there is why I said what I said to Harvey in the first place. I'm sorry, Donna. I wish it weren't so, but it is."
— Donna Paulsen and Paula Agard
