Bartlet's Coffee (Family Farm Pasture)

Bartlet cradles this steaming cup of black coffee, its bitter steam curling into the crisp pasture air as he snaps back at Leo's warnings with raw sarcasm. Fingers tighten around the sturdy ceramic mug—likely farm-fresh brew—he hoists it for a resolute gulp, then shoves it toward Leo in brusque defiance, droplets scattering like punctuation to his unyielding 'game time' vow. Abbey and C.J. hover nearby, the prop slicing through familial tension amid subpoena shadows and re-election brinkmanship.
