Chapter 4
(Harm's POV)
Two letters to go now, you're more than halfway done...
May 23, 2003
Dear Bud and Harriet,
I'm sorry for disappointing you two. I'm sorry I'll never see little AJ grow up, or your new child be born. I'm sorry for everything.
I think you both know why I did this. In case you don't I'll tell you. I've loved Mac, I always have, (yes Harriet you were right). She finally rejected me in Paraguay, and since I've resigned my commission, there's very little left. What's more I couldn't bear to see Mac get married to Webb or anyone else. It's selfish, I know. But I just couldn't take it anymore.
I'm sure you two will make fine Naval officers, better than me. Little AJ and your new child will too. I'm not a very good role model, I never was. I just ask you not to tell your children until they're old enough what happened to me. I also ask you take care of Mac, I don't know what she'll do.
Once again, I'm sorry. I wish you all the best of luck.
Sincerely, Harm
One last letter to go. I look at the clock, it says 2034. Not much time left..

It's so wet and cold outside. The rain is coming down in sheets, D.C's notorious for this. I'll be lucky if I get there at all, let alone on time....
