Reviews: Yes, please! I'm still writing and could use the good, bad and indifferent ones please :) I'm sending this first chapter out as a feeler, and no I'm not one of those people that only post more with a certain number of reviews. I just want to know if I should continue.

Notes: Sorry for the short first chapter.

I hope you enjoy!

Walking out of the hospital Denise's hands are loaded with textbooks. Navigating through the tables proves to be difficult, since she can barely see past the stack. Then it happens,

she runs into what feels like a wall. The books come toppling down and she starts to fall with them, only she finds herself being caught, caught by strong arms and being placed in the

closest chair. Gaining her composure she looks up to thank the person that helped her, but he bends down to pick up the books first.

"Harm," her eyes rapidly blinking, trying to make sure they are really seeing what is in front of them.

"Denise?" she could hear the excitement and shock in his voice. "Your stationed, you work here," he questioned.

Placing the books in a pile on the table he takes the seat next to her. Her insides are still flipping, not from the fall, but from the excitement of seeing him. It's been ten years since she

has seen him, ten years since D.C. and those nights that the two of them shared. There was never anything physical between them, but the tension was there, even now, every so

often she finds herself wondering what would have happened had she let her emotions take over during one of those nights.

"Ummm... yeah Frank was stationed here about five years ago. I just recently started working at the hospital again, but what are you doing here, this is an Army base after all. By the looks of the uniform your still in the Navy, and still with JAG I can see."

"Yeah, I'm still with JAG, actually I was just transferred here last month to command the newest branch, in the next town over. And the reason I'm here" waving his hands around to show he meant the base "is because I have an old friend that works here, Colonel Meadson."

"Oh, that's great your own command," getting up from her chair and grabbing her books "well I have to get going."

Hoping he would let it go with that, she wanted to get out before he suggested having dinner or something.

"Hey, well would you mind if he got together sometime, you could bring Frank, have drinks and dinner."

Stopping dead in her tracks she turns on her heels. "We can't, I mean Frank is deployed, he just left three days ago."

Reaching out he grabs the books her arms. "So where are you located?" Getting to her car, she opens the back seat and motions for him to put the books in.

"Thanks, and I'm at 128 Bravo. Just give me a call, it's in the base directory."

Settling into the driver's seat, Denise puts the keys in the ignition and pulls out of the spot. With a deep breath she thinks about the man she just ran into, the man she was so close to having an affair with not so many years ago. The man she can't believe she just told her address to, and the one she may have dinner with.

7:00pm Frank and Denise's House

"Here you go." Handing the glass of Iced Tea to Claudia Joy, who is currently sitting on the sofa in her living room. Sitting in the chair next to the sofa Denise sips from her drink and tucks her right leg under her.

"So, you said you have something to discuss?"

"Yeah, I ran into, literally ran into an old I guess you can call him a friend this morning."

"Oh, who? Anyone I know?"

"No, I met him when Frank was stationed in Virginia. His name is Harm, he's in the Navy, a JAG lawyer actually, and a retired pilot. There was a case that involved both the Navy and Army, Frank was the only eyewitness, and Harm would spend a lot of time at out house." Taking a sip of tea, and placing the glass on the table, Denise looks up and continues. "To make a long story short, the case ended and we would still see Harm every so often, for dinner or something. Well, Frank gets deployed and Harm and I still have dinners, mostly with other friends included. Then Harm and I see each other in private, always thinking casual, but the more and more times we spent at home, or out. Well, one night we were at my place, oh Jeremy wasn't born yet, but we had a nice dinner, then one thing lead to another and we ended up making out with the probability of more, but then it stopped."

"It just stopped," using her hands to make the waving stopped sign "well, who stopped?"

"Actually, he did, gave a whole speech about not wanting to be involved with a married woman. After we stopped of course I agreed with him, realized what I did, but" looking down at the rim of her glass that is in her hand, she takes a deep but rather silent breath and continues. "But, to this day, I don't know what I would have done, had he not stopped. I have never cheated on Frank, but there was something about that man. The worst part is I agreed to have dinner with him, he's commanding the new local JAG office."

Right as Claudia Joy was about to respond the incessant ringing of a phone, broke through the silence. Picking up the cordless next to her Denise pushes the talk button. "Hello."
