Disclaimer: I don't own JAG. If I did, there would be many more gratuitous 'shirts and skins' football games among the male JAG populace.
A/N: I missed the part of the dialogue-only challenge where it specified 250 words, but everyone knows I can't count anyway. This was hammered out in fifteen minutes or less on the night the challenge ended; as time goes to zero, effort goes to infinity. Thank you again to all of the reviewers of the world; you make this fun!
"Mac, I can't let you do this."
"I have a choice to make, Harm, and I've only got two options."
"Oh, really? What are they?"
"I can marry him or I can decline."
"I'm giving you two more options."
"Excuse me, Commander?"
"Marry me."
"You're kidding, right?"
"I'm in love with you."
"You're serious. Are you serious?"
"Mac...Sarah. That night in Australia –"
"You're not helping your case by bringing that up."
"You told me things I wasn't ready to hear. I hadn't had time to process what I was feeling and I needed to think about it. When we came back I wanted to tell you how I felt, but you were already wearing Brumby's ring."
"I never switched hands with it, Harm. I was waiting for you to do something, say something, and you never did."
"Well, I'm doing something now."
"…you can't just kiss me and expect everything to magically fix itself, Harm. You screwed up."
"Yeah, I did. I don't know how to make it up to you, Sarah, but if you'll tell me I'll do it. I want to make things right between us."
"I don't know how to fix it, Harm."
"We'll figure it out. I love you, Sarah Mackenzie. Marry me."
"I can't believe you just got down on one knee and proposed to me in a parking garage."
"It's worth a set of dress whites to put the offer on the table, Counselor."
"I'll consider it."
"So you're not going to marry Brumby?"
"So help me, Harm, if that's why you're doing this..."
"No, that's what pushed me to do this now, in a parking garage. This is about how I want the woman I love, my best friend in the world, to become my wife. Seeing you with him just made me realize that it might be now or never."
"You ought to thank him, then. It was almost never."
"And now?"
"Now I've got some thinking to do, Commander. If you'll excuse me, I'm going back to the party."
"Take this with you."
"Harm, I haven't decided yet."
"So wear it on your right hand, Colonel. Call it a gesture of friendship."
