A/N: Here is the second chapter of my songfic. I will post the final chapter tomorrow.
Enjoy!
Chapter two:
When Mac was sure Harm wasn't going to come back she decided to leave. She didn't want to antagonize him any further until she had found some time to deal with this new information. Harm heard her leave from his bedroom, he was relieved she didn't come in but a small part of him had hoped she would. Thinking she gave up just confirmed his newfound insight.
The next day at the office Harm was of course late again, a little later then usually because he hadn't been able to get a restful sleep. He hadn't had dinner and trying to make it to his appointment on time hadn't had breakfast either, he hoped to catch something in the break room before his appointment arrived but the admiral had other plans. What the admiral had to say barely registered and leaving him more irritated then at the beginning he hurried to his office to see his appointment had arrived already. Being in court for the rest of the morning he was al to happy to go to the cafeteria to eat since he hadn't had anything in close to twenty-four hours. After lunch he finally had time to catch up on some paperwork when he saw a paper sticking out. Looking at it he saw it were lyrics from the same singer as the song Mac overheard last night.
Snowy night and Christmas lights
Icy window panes
Make me wish that we could be
Together again
And the winty winter avenues
Just don't seem the same
And the Christmas carols sound like blues
But the choir is not to blame
But it doesn't have to be that way
What we had should never have ended
And I'll be dropping by today
We could easily get it together tonight
It's only right
Crowded stores, the corner Santa claus
Tinseled afternoons
And the sidewalk bands that play their songs
Slightly out of tune
On the windy wintry avenues
There walks a lonely man
And if I told you who he is
I think you'd understand
But it doesn't have to be that way
What we had should never have ended
And I'll be dropping by today
We could easily get it together tonight
It's only right
He didn't have much time to dwell on what the meaning of this song was to him since the admiral had wanted a report finished today and he needed to get to it before he would have to be back in court. When Harm came back from court Mac had already left and Harm had still a lot of work to do since the admiral wanted things finished today. When he finally got home en was having a late dinner he mulled over what happened last night and the note/lyrics Mac left on his desk. She had obviously researched the song he had been singing but had she chosen this song for a definite purpose? It was close to Christmas and their wasn't any one else in their lives at the moment so it was kind of fitting but somehow he felt there was a deeper meaning to it. Not really sure what to do about it he decided to go home and see what tomorrow would bring not wanting to get his hopes up.
