A/N: I just got done writing chapter 18 , but I decided not to stop when I was finally out of the writer's block pit and on a roll! LOL.
Chapter 19:
Alfredo's Real Italian Restaurant
(((Harm's POV)
I don't know how I got this way, but I'm standing up..and now everyone is looking at me. I ignore their curious glances and their eyes which seem to say "Is he insane?" and maybe I am...But all that doesn't matter right now. My eyes connect with hers and I say loudly for all to hear.. "Mac, can I have a minute with you ...alone."
She looks shocked, like she can't believe I'm doing this. "Harm.can't it wait?" she says..like I don't know that its her rehearsal dinner..but, believe me.I know..*sigh*
"Actually."I hear my voice say,..It's already waited tooo long.."
Mac sneaks a glance at Mic who is glaring between us and I swear I can see steam coming out his ears!!! Everyone else is just looking at us like we have grown another head..remind me to check in the mirror later.
"uhhh...sure Harm..".she looks at the others at the table and says gracefully: "If You'll excuse us."
I don't wait for her and walk, at a fast pace, towards the door.I'm past the point of sane thinking.
I walk outside and am welcomed by the night air and the soft breeze..No sign of Mac yet, and I half expect her not to come. ...after what happened at JAG in the breakroom...I sigh and go to sit down on a nearby bench, putting my face in my hands.
I hear noise from behind me, and the door shutting...I know it must be her. "HARM..WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?" her words assault me with their sharpness, and I know that she is "slightly" ticked off with me for embarrassing her and dragging her away from her Rehearsal Dinner. (ok..so it is more than "SLIGHTLY" !!! Now are you happy????))
"I don't know.." I whisper, " I just needed to talk to you.
"Harm...we've already been through this...can't you just let it be???" She says emotionally, and I know if I turn around.I'll find her crying.
"No.I'm sorry, but I can't." I manage. "not until you answer me this one question....
I hear her agitated sigh, but decide to ask anyway...
I take a deep breath :"Will marrying him... make you happy?
I hear her footsteps coming my way and she comes to sit beside me, turning to face me. Our eyes connect, and I just hope that she doesn't hear my heart beating out of my chest. My breath catches in my throat, as she whispers: "Yeah..I'll be happy.."
I close my eyes, and let a single tear fall as I realize what she's said, and what I NOW have to do...let her go.

(Mac's POV)
No Mac! Why are you lying to him?...come on, finish your sentence!
Yeah, ..I'll be happy..but not near as happy as I'd be with you...
Come on, TELL HIM MAC! What's holding you back??? Oh God, look what you're doing to him!!! He's crying....
Leave me alone, I know what's best for me..I wish this voice in my head would just shut up. I can make decisions on my own!!!
It's killing me to see him crying like this...I resist the urge to wipe his tear away..oh what the heck?..I reach up and brush it away gently with my thumb...he keeps his eyes closed , and I know just how he feels..this is how I felt that night in Sydney Harbor....
TELL HIM MAC, TELL HIM YOU WANT HIM!!! But, No..I can't...I won't and you can't make me!!! Just who am I talking to anyway??
The End for now
What will happen???? Will Mac listen to that voice????????? Will She marry Brumby???? WILL HARM LET HER?!?!?!?!? REVIEW!!!!!!
