Mac decided to come into work early to get some paperwork done. She was to be in court at 0830 to deliver her closing arguments. She stepped off the elevator and into the bullpen. She was surprised to see Harm's ofice door open and his light on. She walked towards it and knocked on the frame softly. " Harm." she said quietly, but Harm was sound asleep with his head on his desk. She walked behind him and rubbed his cheek with her fingertips. Harm just let out a groan and turned his head to the other side. She decided if the gentle wake up wasn't working she use her marine tactic. that usually worked on him. " Get your six up squid. Don't make me get physical," she screamed at Harm. He snapped up to attention. " Mac, what was that about?" " You feel asleep here last night and you wouldn't wake up," said Mac while trying not to laugh. Harm rubbed the sleep from his eyes and sat back down. " Here, I brought you some Starbucks." " Thanks, Sarah." The sound of her name coming from his mouth sent chills down her spine and made her knees weak. She had to sit down before she fell down. " Well, it's 0730 I have to get ready for court. Want to go get lunch this afternoon?" asked Mac. " Sure as long as we don't eat greasy cow." he said and flashed her his biggest flyboy smile he could. SHe smiled back and made her way to her office.
"Ma'am, the admiral would like to see you in his office before you go to court." said Tiner.
" I'll be right there." She snapped close the file and stuck in her breifcase. She made her way through the bullpen. " Lt.Col. Sarah Mackenzie reporting as ordered sir."
" Ah, Mac sit down. Can I assume we are friends outside the office?" Mac nodded." Good then I have something to tell you. Me and Merdith broke up. I really would like to talk to someone. Will you come over for dinner tonight?"
Mac was a little surprised at this. The admiral never talked about his realtionships, let alone his feelings. He must be really hurt. Aw, poor AJ. " Sure sir. What time?" " How is 5 oclock sound?" " Great I'll see you then sir." With that Mac walked out of the office and out of the bullpen towards the courtroom.
Court was good. Mac won her case and she was ready for some serious eating. Never get in the way of a hungry Marine, especially this Marine. " Harm you ready to grab a bite to eat?" " Yeah, I'm buying I guess huh?" " Damn right you are squid." " Let's go," Harm said as he put his hand on the small of her back and directed her to the elevators.

Mac had all her paperwork done and was ready to take a nap. She decided to go home early and take a nice long bath and get ready for her dinner with the admiral. She packed up her briefcase and was headed towards Harm's office to say goodnight.
" See you later Harm."
" You're leaving already?" he said not even looking up from his files.
" Yeah."
" You want to grab dinner and a movie tonight?" asked Harm finally looking up at her. His eyes locked with hers. She really wanted to go to dinner with him, but AJ needed her to be there tonight.
" I can't I am having dinner with someone." Harm's heart sank. ' Oh no. I lost her again to another dope. I can't believe this.' Just then the admiral walked by and said, " See you tonight at 5 Mac."
" You are having dinner with the admiral?" Harm said obviously surprised.
" Yeah. Meredith left him and he needs a shoulder to cry on. We are friends so I agreed to have dinner with him. You jealous Harm?" He was but he wasn't going to let her know that. That would mean he likes her maybe loves her.' What the hell am I thinking. I do love her.' " No I am not jealous, but you have to have dinner with tommorow night. It is our anniversary. 8 years ago tommorow we met in the White House rose garden."
" Okay Harm tommorow night. You cook. Cya later flyboy."
" Bye!"

" Come in." said AJ fro, the kitchen where he was cooking Angel Hair pasta.
" Hello, sir."
" Sarah call me AJ. You are in my home."
" Okay AJ. mmmmmmmm that smells good."
" It wil be ready in 5 minutes. Help me set the table. Mac thanks for being here for me"
" No problem AJ."
" Okay lets eat."
Dinner was great, they talked mostly about work. Afterwords, they sat down for drinks. AJ had Scotch and Mac had some sparkling water. They sat and talked about AJ and Meredith's realtionship. By the time they were done, Aj had a tear in his eyes and Mac wiped it away. They hadn't noticed they were holding hands. Mac looked deeply into Aj's eyes. He felt so sorry for him. He had loved Meredith. AJ was a good man. AJ spook first. " Mac I know how you feel about Harm. You have to tell him. I'll try to help with work. I'll make it so neither of you leave. Somehow. Mac you are a great person and a great friend. He loves you Mac. Go to him. If you guys are good at being partners you'll make a fantastic couple." AJ was still holding her hands, looking into her eyes. " Go to him tonight let him know. I knew from the first time you two met in the rose garden you would end up together. I didn't think it would take this long though. You two need to get your heads out of your sixes and be toghther. Go now." Mac leaned over and kissed AJ's cheek before pulling him into a hug. " Thank you sir. You are a wonderful boss and an awesome friend," said Mac before grabbing her coat and purse and running to her car. AJ just sat there with a smile on his face. He thought to himself, 'Glad I could help Mac!'
Mac sped out of AJ's driveway and raced towards Harm's apartment. It was about 9:30 by now. I hope he is still up...................
