Purposely watched People Vs Secnav all because of the hotel room scene. Harm is sitting on a chair, tie undone. Mac walks over barefoot and without her jacket.

Here we go.

People Vs SECNAV.

"Clayton sends his love." After hanging up with Webb, Mac walked towards Harm with a coffee in hand, noting that he barely touched his dinner, something that concerned her.

Harm scoffed at the thought and ignored Mac's comment, he didn't want to think about her boyfriend tonight. "That's a scary thought." He sat on one of the chairs of the living area that was situated between their rooms, his mind drifting back to the woman in court.

"No appetite? What's wrong?" She studied him for a moment, Mac's concern growing by the sad look in his eyes. It was normally hard to phase Harm but, that particular look was a familiar one of a conflicted man.

"I was just thiking about that woman today in court who lost her son." It was a part of war and something a younger Harmon Rabb Junior did not consider when he had been sent on bombing runs.

It was exciting to select a target and watch from high above as things blew into a zillion peices. He lived for it, breathed for it but, knowing he could have hurt an innocent gutted him. "It could have been me dropping those bombs, you know? She doesn't see a difference between me and a murderous dictator."

"Harm, you were doing your duty..."

"I know, Mac but, it doesn't make it easier." He stood then and refilled his coffee cup drinking half in one gulp, it was the only sustenance he'd had since lunch. "Part of me hates these cases when the truth of what I've done comes to light. I didn't kill her son but, I may as well have."

At his words Mac came to him, her hand running soothing circles across his back. She hated seeing him like this so torn apart. "You aren't a murderer. You aren't."

Mac pulled him towards him and enveloped him in a tight hug. He relaxed into her embrace taking strength from the woman that held him and letting her soft touch ease the scars over his soul. "You always seem to fix me." He said gently and his own arms wrapped around her.

Mac hadn't realized that she too needed the closeness until he held her. It brought to life emotions she tried to bury and made an ache prevail in her heart. "I need to tell you something and I'm afraid of what you'll say."

Harm heard her speak and reluctantly he pulled away from her embrace to find an odd expression in her eyes. He began to panic as a zillion scenarios ran though his mind all of them all of which involved Clayton Webb. "What is it?"

"I've been lying to you." Her voice was shaky and Mac wouldn't look him in his eyes. In fact, she stepped away from him and his heart sank to the pit of his stomach. "It's more of a lie of omission but..."

"Is it about Webb?" He asked cautiously.

"There is no Webb." Mac admitted and felt a weight come off her shoulders as she did. There had been something at first at least, she tried for it to be but, Mac didn't love Clayton Webb and never would.

The revelation only seemed to confuse Harm, hadn't he spoken with him? Hadn't everyone in the CIA gushed about Clayton Webb's Marine girlfriend? "But, the phone call..."

"It was Clay... But, we aren't together and never will be. He was filling me in on their movements with Sadik, keeping me abreast."

"Why did you tell me you were together?"

"Did I or did you assume?"

"I didn't, I..." Harm trailed off for a moment and thought back to as many conversations that they'd had about Clay since Paraguay. 'I don't have a thing for him.' Her voice echoed in his head and for the first time ever Harm felt like a total idiot.

Mac was never dating Clayton Webb he just assumed she was and ran with it. He never asked her point blank how involved the two were. It was too easy to be upset and blame all of his heartache on her. He was a fool. "Why, Mac?"

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly too embarrassed to tell him the truth. "You didn't seem to feel the same for me like I did for you. It was easier to make a clean break. I never meant to hurt you, Harm. I never meant for you to cut me out of your life. Webb and I we tried but..."

Mac's breath caught in her throat and her breath hitched nervously. She needed to tell him and not hide her feelings any longer. "I love you. I've never stopped loving you." She expected Harm to push her away and deny her like he had time and time again.

Instead Harm placed his coffee down and bridged the gap between them. He cupped her face in his hands hesitating when his head came down to hers. "I love you, too." And then he kissed her.
