Harm's Apartment North of Union Station

Harm knew this was. However, he didn't know it was going to happen tonight. He'd wanted to talk to Mac about.things since the night she came to his apartment to tell him that she was going on Webb's mission. He'd wanted to tell her that she was the most important thing in his life, well, her and Mattie. But if he were pressed to admit it, he'd say Mac was more important. He knew he should be focusing on Mattie and taking care of her, but Mac was always there in the back of his mind. He knew that he was ready to talk. And he knew he might have trouble talking about some things, but if he wanted Mac to understand he had to talk about them.

"You're right, Mac. We need to talk." Harm said, motioning for her to take a seat. He sat after she did, across from her so he could see her face.

"Since you brought it up, I guess I'll start." Where to start was the problem. He had so much to say, so much to make her understand. And some things he knew she wouldn't understand. Like when he gave up his whole life to go find her in Paraguay, he thought she would understand what he was trying to tell her.

Mac didn't fully understand the logic in what he just said, but she knew if he didn't go first that he probably wouldn't say what he wanted to say. So she stayed quiet, waiting for him to speak.

He was getting more unsure by the minute. He didn't know where to start and he knew he had to say something or she would leave. Or worse, ask him a question that he wouldn't be able to answer. He thought back to how the woman in front of him was more like two different people. You could be talking to Sarah one minute, then say something wrong and BANG! you're talking to Mac. Harm chuckled, realizing that you probably wouldn't be talking; you'd most likely be getting your butt chewed off. He didn't want that to happen, so he had to choose his words carefully. He wanted to have this conversation with Sarah. He thought about starting there, telling her how she was really two different people and that he loved them both. But he realized that she probably wouldn't understand. Hell, he barely understood. But, he had to say something and it had to be now.

So, knowing his time was running out, Harm blurted out the first thing that came to his mind, "Mattie really likes you, you know?"
