7000 Zulu
Fall's Church, VA
JAG Headquarters
Conference Room
Jason and Sarah entered the room to see a cheerful Bud and a stony Harm
Sarah smiled a hello at the Commander.
Harm just barely nodded, and a look of puzzlement flashed across her face.
Sarah wondered what could have changed since just yesterday.
"Commander, Lieutenant, good morning." Jason said.
"Good morning, Mr. Tiner, Ms. MacKenzie" Bud greeted.
"Are both you ready to leave? We have a schedule to keep."
Harm could feel the weight of everybody's questioning looks on him at his rushed words and clipped tone.
"Of course, Commander. Lead the way."
Both Jason and Bud could hear the hurt in Sarah's voice and see the confusion in her eyes. Harm was too busy trying to remain distant and professional to notice.
Jason and Bud exchanged worried looks as Harm led the way to the parking lot.

1030 Zulu
Aboard the USS Essex
The Stateroom of Commander Harmon Rabb Jr .
Harm was unpacking in his new room. He paused and thought about the time on the way here. He thought about how hard it was to keep from looking at Sarah, and of course he hadn't succeeded. He was stealing glances out of the corner of his eye the whole way here. Harm regretted it. He could see the pain and confusion on her face when she thought no one was looking. He just wanted to hold her and apologize, but he knew he couldn't. He couldn't fall in love. She might hurt him, or worse, he might hurt her and he could never live with that.
Harm sank down onto the bed and sighed. This might hurt now, but sooner or later, Harm would bounce back and become the ladies man he once was before Sarah MacKenzie, at least he hoped he would.
With Harm lost in thought the suitcase lay forgotten on the floor.
