Did anyone see Webb the other night (Wed) on the West Wing? Hehe, he is so cute.
Apparently I didn't make up the word wonderment, guys (lol if y'all are clueless, see my other fic). I recently saw it used a few times in some older writing. Darn. I did, however, use the word caringness on my English paper, which in fact isn't a word at all. My teacher circled it and in big red letters wrote 'this is not a word'. But it fit with my sentence!
Oh! Disclaimer: Not mine, though I am planning an op to get them...
My soon-to-be home on the web is http://www.geocities.com/spiritunites/kspirit/ff/. It has all of 2 pages done! Yay! Okay, even though I have been working on it since June...I'm a lil busy.
E-mail at spiritunites@yahoo.com. KSpirit was taken. hmph.
Okay, on with it!

Mac's Office

"Enter!" Mac reluctantly called at the knock on her door. A tall handsome man in dress whites walked in to the office.
"Hey!" Smiling brightly, he started to close the door until he saw her face. "Mac? What's wrong?"
She was obviously upset about something and was acting a little skittish. She had moved to near the wall with her arms folded over her chest. As Harm took a step toward her, she flinched visably.
"Mac?" He had stopped moving towards her when he saw her shift backwards. Watching her, he saw her looking as if she were ready to run and hide.
"Can I help you Harm?" She asked, wanting to get him out of the office quickly and hoping he wouldn't notice anything.
"Yes, as a matter of fact. I want to know what is wrong."
"Nothing is wrong. Why would anything be wrong?"
Harm raised his voice slightly, "Hmm, let's see. You're very jumpy, which is not like you at all. The look on your face makes it clear that something is upsetting you. And you may be trying to hide it, but you look ready to bolt as soon as you have a chance."
Even though his voice was only slightly louder than usual, he saw her flinch again. This time, however, he recognized it for what it was. Something had happened to make her afraid. Her behavior was comparing to that of an abuse victim. Sitting in one of the chairs infront of her desk, he lowered his eyes to the floor and relaxed.
"I'm sorry Mac. I didn't mean to raise my voice. Tell me what happened. I want to help you Mac. Trust me."
She was still against the wall. Her eyes were darting around the room, not settling on anything, especially not her partner.
"Come here Mac. Sit down and relax." Harm continued to talk to her, this time keeping his voice low.
Mac didn't move, but her posture seemed to relax ever so slightly. Harm waited, knowing it was her turn to make a move. After three minutes she spoke, so softly that he almost didn't hear it at all.
"Not here Harm. Please, not here. Later, after work." Her tone was hesistant.
"Okay. At my apartment. Promise me that you will be there?" He knew she was nervous and did not want to talk.
"I'll be there at 1830." She answered.
"Fine. I'll leave now so you can finish your work and get out of here." Harm finally got out of his chair and turned for the door. "I really do want to help with whatever it is, Mac."
