Harper & Trance

Harper saw the embrace and smiled, he loved Beka like a sister and he wanted her to be happy. Besides he liked Rhade, he was more fun than Tyr had been. Trance came up beside him.

"Looks like a perfect match."

"You think so?"

She smiled, "Yes I do; now how about telling me what's wrong with you."

Harper looked at her, he loved Trance in a way he had loved no other woman before her. He loved her when she was purple skinned and he had fallen for the golden skinned woman she now was.

When she had switched places with her younger self to save his life and to make the future a better place, he had been horrible to her. But Trance hadn't given up and tried hard to regain the bond they once had.

Harper sat on a bench and sighed, "I nearly cost Rommie all her memories."

Trance sat next to him, "You were trying to help when you created the program, you didn't know this would happen."

"Dylan's angry with me, that I can deal with, but Rommie's coldness is what really hurts."

"Give it time Harper, you're not alone."

Harper smiled as she touched his shoulder, "I'm glad you're here with me Trance, no matter what you look like."

He thought he saw her eyes tear up, "Oh Harper that's so sweet, from the time I came from, I would've given anything to hear your voice."

He looked into her eyes, "Trance I love you, I always have...." He was cut off as she kissed him. "I love you Seamus Zelazny Harper."

Then they kissed again and embraced. And holding hands watched the approaching sunset.
