Mac walked into her spacious office and quickly turned on her computer. She couldn't wait to get her weekly e-mail from Harm. He didn't call much and she missed hearing his voice, but at least he found time to e-mail her. She had kept them all in her inbox after she sent a reply and she would go back and read them over and over until she had them committed to memory. Most of time they weren't really all that important just filling her in on that week's chow, how much flight time he was getting, and the general antics of his squadron. He seemed very proud of them all, like they were his children, but what took up the majority of the e-mail was him asking her questions like, 'how was your week?', 'how is the case load?' Things of that nature, but at the bottom of every e-mail his P.S. would always be, 'When can you come and see me? I'll be in port…'. Then there would be a couple of dates and a port most of which were in Hawaii and the South Pacific. Each time in her reply she would write 'Sorry Harm I can't get out', or 'I don't have any leave on the books' or something to that effect. This was so true she didn't have any time hardly at all. She had cases coming in from everywhere, everywhere but DC, or on the Patrick Henry, which was where she really wanted to be.

She had gotten one case out in DC and it happened to be the same time Harm had leave and had flown in, but that case was soon snatched away by her new partner who like Harm was a commander in the Navy. He got to go to DC because she had to finish a review of drunk and disorderly cases while he was gallivanting around DC. She hated her new partner what with his stubborn and cocky attitude. It wasn't a cute cockiness like Harm's but an annoying one that was constantly hitting on her like she was some girl at a bar. When her e-mail popped up onto the screen Mac opened her inbox but found it empty. Sighing she just figured that he was out on a mission and would write later.

She continued to work on her computer until a knock at her door made her stop.

"Yes, ensign what do you need?" she said when Ensign Tina entered she was like a taller Spanish version of Harriet, always bubbly and happy.

"Ma'am I need to borrow one of your law books for some research do you mind?"

"No not at all. Which one?"

"The Standard of Criminal Procedure Part III."

"Doesn't the library have it?" Mac asked as she pulled it off her shelf and handed it to Tina whom reached out her hand and bumped one of the photographs on Mac's desk.

"No, ma'am I looked twice… Oh no ma'am I'm so sorry" Tina gasped as the picture toppled to the floor. She quickly picked it up off the floor and looked at it before asking,

"Are they the ones you're writing too all the time?"

"Yes, they are. That man is Harm and that is our godson AJ." Mac pointed to them in the photo.

"Where are they?" Tina inquired still mesmerized at how happy her senior officer looked in the picture. She was smiling and holding the little blond boy in her lap and the man she called Harm had an arm around her shoulders and was smiling.

"Well Harm is on a carrier in the Pacific and Little AJ well he's back in DC with is Mom and Dad." Mac answered her question and then took the frame from her and set it back on her desk.

"Well ma'am thank you for the book…umm permission to speak freely?"

"Yes, of course."

"You should smile more often, it makes you look even more beautiful and around here we could do with a few more smiles." Tina remarked and then she quickly turned on her heel and headed out into the bullpen. Mac turned back to the bookshelf to pull out a book for her own use when something there caught her eye. There in the empty space that once held The Standard of Criminal Procedure Part III was an envelope addressed to her. She recognized the handwriting instantly as Harm's. Closing her door and pulling the blinds she then sat down and carefully opened the envelope.

Same time

Harm sat on his bunk reading the Bi-Plane Monthly for the sixth time it was one that he brought from his storage boxes when he was back in Pensacola. He flipped the page to the main story when an envelope slipped out into his lap. It was addressed to him and he recognized it as Mac's hand writing he slowly opened it and began to read the contents.

Mac read the contents again not believing what she was reading just to make sure she understood she read it again out loud.

My dearest Sarah,

I don't know how to start this letter to you, in fact I didn't even think I would ever have to write it. So I will be blunt and just tell you what has constantly haunted my thoughts for years. Sarah I love you. Not like a friend like I keep telling myself but as an equal and as a lover. I tried so hard to stop myself from admitting what my heart was telling me, but it hasn't worked. I fell in love with you the day we met in the rose garden so long ago. At first I thought it was just and infatuation and I was under a spell, but as the years have rolled by the cases kept coming I discovered it was more than and infatuation that it was the love I have been searching for all along.

When you were with Dalton I felt like you had taken my heart and smashed it into the ground, but I didn't say a word even though I should have. I let you go because I wanted you to be happy, not miserable and alone.

Much later as you recall on the ferry in Australia you laid the cards out on the table and I made up that bull crap about not being able to 'let go'. When in fact I was really ready to sweep you up in my arms and take you away, but I knew my sense of duty and that I'm starting to hate. I don't know exactly what drove you to Mic but it made me furious that you chose him over me and then just as my heart was beginning to accept it, you moved his ring to your left hand and I knew that you were his. I had lost the battle and the war and was ready to give up. I didn't dare voice my feelings because of my strong desire to make you happy. On the night of your rehearsal dinner when I crashed my Tomcat the last things I saw were the memories we shared. I honestly was scared that I would never see you again or live to see you in the arms of another man. I had the intention to come back and tell you but your wounds from Mic were still healing and I didn't want to force myself on you. So I kept my mouth shut even though it hurt me very much.

Now that we are going to be apart for who knows how long I need to tell you before our paths divide that I love you with every ounce of strength my heart possesses. I don't know when our paths may cross again so I just wanted to let you know and to ask you to wait for me to come and make you happy. I don't want you to forget me so if you are willing to wait I have enclosed a bracelet that I had kept in my desk drawer which I was going to give you for Valentines Day but I didn't have the guts to do it. If you feel the same you can wear until I return and marry you and hopefully make you the happiest Marine the in world.

Yours to love forever and for always,

Harm

Mac had read correctly yet she was still in shock. Harm her Flyboy who she wanted for years was finally ready to give her the attention and love she so dearly wanted from him. She reached back into the envelope and pulled out the silver bracelet with a note attached to it. She quickly slipped it on and then examined each of the charms dangling from it. She then read the note.

Mac,

Each of the charms on this bracelet represents something special in our relationship. The rose to symbolize where we first met. Next, the stork for that promise we made when little AJ was born. The bi-plane for the times I took you flying in Sarah. The anchor to represent yours truly and the next one I hunted high and low for, as you can see it is the Marine Corps emblem to represent you. Finally the heart is mine, and just remember that you are wearing it and it belongs only to you.

Much Love,

Harm

Mac was still in awe as she folded up the letter and wiping the tears from her eyes slipped it into her desk and prepared for court, in her mind arose a question, had Harm found her letter and if he had why hadn't he said anything in his e-mails. Her mind still dwelled on the thought as she left for court.
