They just stared at each other not believing this was actually happening.
"Why don't you go first." Harm says.
Mac just stares at him. "OK"
Mac continues to stare at him then takes a deep breath and says " I love you. I tried to run away from my feelings. I tried to let you go and move on. Then out there I look in your eyes and realize that I can't fight it any more." Mac takes a shake breath scared of what she is about to say. "I want to look in those blue eyes for the rest of my days. Paraguay was a bad timing in our life. How I feel isn't what it used to me it is deeper. Once we let go of all the junk that had separated us it made our relationship better because we are closer now." Mac reaches up and touches Harms cheek. Harm turns into it and kisses her wrist. Mac smiles at his gesture. "I do ask that if we want to give this thing a chance we need to go slowly let us have a relationship that allows us to explore these feelings." Mac stops and looks at Harm. She smiles at what she sees in his eyes and expression. "So what do you say. Do you want to take the chance?"
All Harm did was pulled Mac into a huge hug and kissed her. Then he stepped back and looked down at her. "I think what you said sums it up quite well. I feel that the best way to do it is to take it slow. But before I leave here I have one thing to say to you." Harm stops there and leans down and kisses Mac and between each kiss he says "I love you." Mac watched as Harm stepped back and took her hands and lifted them up to his mouth to kiss them. Then said " Why don't I go pick us up some food and a movie and come back to your place." "That Sounds good Harm what time will you be over?" Well since it is 1530 what do you say to me showing up at 1800." Mac shook her head in agreement and watched as harm squeezed her hand and turned at walked out the door. Mac sighed and no sooner had she finished that a knock sounded on the door and Harriet peaked around the door. "Ma'am" "Come in Harriet. I need help getting my dress off" "Are you okay Webb just announced that the wedding was off. What Happened?" "I looked at Harm that's what happened. I feel bad messing up another man's life. I hope that Clay understands." "Mac he didn't seem all that upset. I think he just wants you to be happy." "That sounds like Clay." Harriet saw that Mac had drifted off into another world so she stayed quiet and got the dress off Mac and hung it on it is hanger. While Harriet was doing that Mac was changing into her regular clothing and thinking about the evening with Harm wondering what was going to happen tonight. Harriet saw the smile that lit up Macs face and asked her what happened between her and Harm when Webb left. " Oh this and that" "Which translate into what. You are going to dive into a relationship." "I can neither confirm or deny that." "You will eventually need to give me the details but for now I will wait." "Thank you Harriet." They both looked at the room and realized while they were talking they had finished picking up the room. They said their good byes. Mac walked to her car got in it and drove home. When she got home she walked into her place and realized that she wanted this evening to be special. So she walked around and placed candles around her apartment. She looked at the time and realized she had a good hour and half before Harm arrives so she decided to take a shower and freshen up. After she was done with her shower she went to her closet and decided that she wanted to be comfortable tonight so she put on jersey shorts and a USMC t-shirt. She felt good to be in comfortable attire. She dried her hair and put a light layer of make-up. She looked at the time 1745. Good she had a few minutes to review the days events. While she was in thought she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door "Hey Flyboy!" She was then suprised to see that Harm had two Beltway burger bags. "Suprised Ninja girl. I thought that I would show you how far I will go to show you my love." With that he bent down and gave her a quick kiss and headed to the kitchen. "Harm what movie did you get?" "Oh that is a surprise for later." He winked at her and turned back around to head into the kitchen to get the plates. He couldn't wait to get on with the evening. Mac was suspicious at to what Harm had up his sleeve but she decided to wait and see what he had planned.
