CHAPTER 8
Once Mac had been released from the hospital into Harm's care, Harm drove her to her
apartment, so that she could pick up the necessary items that she would need when
staying at Harms'. Harm had insisted that she stay with him until she was better, and able
to look after herself, but also Harm wanted to keep a watchful eye on her to make sure
that she didn't over do it.
After staying at Harms' apartment for two weeks, Mac decided that, even though she
didn't want to, it was time to go home to her own apartment.
After much debate with Harm, she finally got him to agree to let her go home, as long as
he was able to drop by and ring whenever he desired to.
ONE WEEK LATER
Harm had cryptically phoned and asked Mac out to dinner, but would not say where they
were going, no matter how much Mac pleaded to him.
"Mac, make sure that you wear a dress. Like that little red dress that you wore to the
ball," Harm informed her.
"Ohh yeah, you want me to dress up, huh? Well, you might just have to tell me where we
are going, flyboy," Mac smiled back.
"Oh no, Ninga-girl, I am not giving in that easily! Just make sure that you're looking
pretty and all dressed up by 1700. I don't want to be late." Harm grinned back.
There was a knock at the door at precisely 1655. For once Harm arrived at her apartment
early.
Mac who was still readying herself for the evening, quickly shuffled over to the door to
let him in.
"You're early, flyboy," came Mac's smart comment.
"I know. I wanted to surprise you," Harm replied.
"Well, you certainly did. Just let me finish getting ready, will you?"
"Sure."
While Mac had been talking to Harm she hadn't really looked at him, so had missed that
he was wearing his dress whites, and Mac had had a robe on, so Harm had not seen her
dress.
Three minutes later, Mac gracefully floated to stand in front of Harm.
"You ready, flyboy?" Mac smiled.
"Oh my gosh, Sarah! You look absolutely gorgeous!" Harm stuttered.
Mac was wearing a royal blue fitted corset, floor-length dress. She looked like an angel
to Harm.
Mac smiled shyly, slightly embarrassed, and replied, "So do you, Harm."
"Shall we go, my lady?" Harm extended his arm and bent slightly at the waist, while
smiling charmingly.
"Of course, Sir," Mac politely accepted his arm, putting hers through his, and they left
the apartment.
Once Mac was seated in the car, Harm pulled out a silk scarf.
Mac eyed it cautiously, "What exactly are you going to do with that, Harm?"
"Just trust me, Mac. I want it to be a surprise. Let me blindfold you," Harm pleaded.
"Alright, I trust you. Go on, put it on, then."
Harm grinned and gently tied the scarf around her head, making sure that she couldn't
see a thing.
After making sure that she was buckled in correctly, he gently shut the door, went to the
drivers side, hopped in and drove away.
After many turns, just making sure that Mac did not know where they were going, Harm
pulled over and turned off the engine.
"Are we there yet, Harm?" Mac impatiently asked.
"Yes, Ma'am, we are, but don't you take that scarf off yet!"
Rushing to her side, he opened the door, unbuckled her, and then gripped her arm,
supporting her, and helping her out of the car.
"When can I take this thing off, Harm?" Mac whined.
"Not just yet, Mac. I'll tell you when, okay?"
"Fine," Mac grumped.
Harm gently led her to a table that was positioned in the middle of a rose garden, but not
just any rose garden. It was the White House rose garden.
When Harm took the scarf off Mac's face, she could not believe that Harm had organised
this, let alone been able to pull it off.
"Harm! Oh my gosh! How did you do all this?" To say Mac was awe-struck would have
been an understatement.
"I just called in some favours, I can't say anymore than that!" Harm grinned at her.
Gently, Harm guided Mac to her seat, then much to Mac's surprise, Harm got down on
one knee, and pulled a black velvet covered box from his jacket pocket.
"Sarah, you are part of my heart and soul, and if something happened, I know that there
would be a huge hole in both. I love you so much, and I always will love you."
Flipping open the box, he revealed an exquisite antique heart-shaped diamond ring, that
had blue sapphires adorning the heart shaped diamond.
"Will you marry me, Sarah?"
"Yes! Ohh, I love you so much!" she whispered tearfully, tears falling freely down her
cheeks, from wide brown eyes,.
As Harm stood, she flung herself from her chair, into his arms, and passionately kissed
him with everything that she had, her hands framing his face.
Breathlessly pulling away, Harm took the ring out of the case, and slipped it onto her left
hand, where it was a perfect fit, and they once again began happily kissing.
Since they were so intently focused on each other, they missed the fleetful smile that
graced the face of an old ally.
"Why did a tragedy have to happen just so that they could do what fate wanted? Ohh
well, at least they're together at last. True love always prevails," the spook muttered, and
went on his ways, as though he had never been there at all.
