Author's Note: Thank you all so much for the reviews I can't believe that the last chapter was so good it made someone cry. This chapter is fairly short but I hope that you enjoy it as much as the others and remember no updates until I get reviews. Okay I will shut up now.

USS Patrick Henry

Harm's Quarters

Harm held the thick letter in his hands and slowly opened it and began to read it slowly when he noticed the date it was the same as their last day at JAG.

Dear Harm,

I can't believe I'm writing this letter now. I had hoped I never would have to and instead I would tell you, but now that you and I are once again parting ways I will have to write this. I hope you find this before you forget me, what with flying and all.

I said goodbye to you once and I never wanted to again but I guess I will have to, but before I do I want to let you know that I love you with all my heart. You have been there for me when you didn't need to and I always had your shoulder to cry on. You helped me through all the losses and challenges I have met and have still regarded me with the same respect even when I didn't deserve it. I love you Harm! Yes I said it, I love you in all your cockiness and arrogance and just everything that makes you the Flyboy that I fell head over heels for in the rose garden so long ago.

At first I tried to ignore the facts that my heart was screaming and once I had embraced them you shoved me away that night on the ferry. I went to Mic to mostly make you jealous and I thought maybe to help heal the wounds you cut into my heart. As we know it didn't work out and here I am spelling it out for you again, maybe this time you are ready to let go, but if your not I can wait. I will always wait for you even if I end up waiting for the rest of my life. You are the only one for me and I won't settle for anything less. I know it has taken me too long to tell you and I understand if you don't feel the same, but I just wanted to let you know before I run out of those 'opportune moments'.

Harm you have been the greatest thing to ever come into my life and I hope that even though you are thousands of miles away that you will always be in my life. I once remember saying that what every woman wants is a good career, a great man and comfortable shoes and lots of them. I now have that great career and I have a few pairs of comfortable shoes, but there is still an opening for a great man. I sincerely hope that my heart hasn't failed me and you can and will willingly be that great man.

Yours to love forever and for always,

Mac

The last lines were tear stained from both Mac's tears and now Harm's as he folded up the letter. He wasn't one to cry but they were tears of joy not sorrow. Mac his Marine loved him and that was all that mattered at the moment. Except for the one thought that crossed his mind. Had she found his letter and know he loved her too or was it packed away somewhere among her things. He continued to dwell on this thought as he saddled up to fly another mission and while he was flying he wanted to take that Tomcat and just fly to her in San Diego at then take her back to DC where they both belonged.
