"THE ROAD NOT TAKEN"
2115 ZULU
MAC'S APARTMENT
GEORGETOWN
(Knock, Knock)
Harm arrived at Mac's a little earlier than he had expected. Luckily there weren't any police out tonight. "Hey, Mac open —"
"Hey, Harm"
"Hey yourself" Harm was wearing beige corduroy pants with a navy blue button down shirt and black shoes. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah" Mac was wearing black pants with a red top. "You wanted to go to Mocha Java?"
"Yeah" They went downstairs and walked around the corner to Mocha Java. It was kind of warm for a March night in D.C. They went in and sat at their usual table as of late.
"Are you okay Harm? You've been acting…strange lately?" #I'm kind of worried about him now. He's nervous.#
"If I tell you this you can't laugh at me okay?"
"Why would I laugh at you?" Harm just gave Mac a stern glare. "Okay I promise I won't laugh."
"Yesterday when we went to Lucky's I had a vision."
"A vision? Like mine?" #I certainly wasn't expecting that. No wonder he was nervous.#
"Sort of, but not really." She was just looking at Harm with a questioning expression on her face. I knew it couldn't be this easy. She's looking at me funny. I'm not listening to Mattie anymore. Once again, here goes nothing. "It'll be easier if I just tell you what happened."
"Okay." #This should be really interesting.#
"Well, I had a vision that two years ago we got married but we were getting a divorce because you were going to marry someone else and our marriage didn't exactly work." Did I grow a head or something? She's looking at me like I did.
"Are you serious?" #This has got to be one of the strangest conversations that Harm has ever had with me. I think I know how he felt when he found out I had a vision.#
"Yeah."
"So you're saying that if we get married it's not going to work?" #This is a little unnerving.#
Oh God! Think before you speak Hammer."NO! No, what I'm saying is…have you ever wondered why our previous attempts at a relationship haven't worked?"
"At times."
"Well, what if I told you that they haven't worked because we weren't ready? I wasn't ready." Nice save.
"Why?"
"You'll just have to believe me okay?"
"Alright. Harm this isn't making any sense though." #Maybe he should be the one to see the psychiatrist.#
"What doesn't make sense?" I might need to see a psychiatrist.
"You come and tell me that you had a vision and we got married two years ago but it didn't work because I was going to marry someone else. Now you're telling me that we weren't ready to get married or get involved say two years ago?"
"Exactly, but it ended up working out. In the vision that is."
"How?"
"Maybe I should tell you the whole thing."
"That might be helpful." #Fasten your seatbelt MacKenzie, you're in for one hell of a ride.#
"Okay. As I said before we got married two years ago because we realized that we loved each other in Sydney Harbor. We had separated and you were going to marry Farrow. You came to me to get the divorce papers and to get your terminal leave papers because you were resigning your commission to go live in Colorado with Farrow." Mac was just about to say something, but Harm put his hand up to silence her. "Let me finish. When you were getting ready to leave you had your train ticket in your hand and the wind blew it away so you couldn't go with him. You said you were ready for us to try again." This is gonna be interesting.
"Wow." #Yup, I was right. One hell of a ride.#
"So is that accurate?"
"What do you mean?" #What is he talking about? Accurate? Accurate to what?#
"You didn't notice the connection to reality?" Mac just stared back at him. #Where is he going with this. I'm really confused.# "If you replace Farrow with Webb."
#Whoa. I'm not going to marry Webb. That be like Mic all over again. And I WILL NOT have Harm crashing another airplane to make me realize I love him.# "Whoa, whoa. I'm not going to marry Webb."
"You have no intention of letting things go that far?"
"No." Things could have been soo much easier if I had known that. #Apparently some people like crashing planes in the ocean.#
"Oh. Well then I need to ask you something." Here goes. It's all or nothing
"Okay" #Why do I have a feeling that this question could change things forever?#
"Are you ready to try for a relationship?"
I've changed things a little. I just added their thoughts or what I thought they would be thinking. Let me know if it's better. Once again, thanks for reading.
