"Hey I'm back." Mac said as she came into the house.
"Hey. How many pairs of shoes did you buy?" Harm asked as he came out of the kitchen wiping his hands on a towel.
"Just the one." Mac replied.
"It took five hours to buy just one pair of shoes?"
"Well there are a lot of pairs out there. I had to choose carefully." In reality it had taken almost two hours and a half hours for Tiner to settle on the perfect ring.
"But it took five hours?"
"We had lunch too." Mac replied.
"I take it you bought something else too?" He said noticing she had more than one bag.
"I bought the cutest little dress for Abi." She looked through the bags to find it and held it up. "I almost bought her her first pair of patent leather shoes, but I figured she'd grow out of them in a couple weeks so it wasn't worth it."
"You're hiding something from me." Harm said watching her talk animatedly.
"No I'm not." Mac replied.
"Yes you are." He countered.
"Okay, what exactly do you think I'm hiding from you?"
"I don't know yet. But there is something?"
"Maybe I should have asked why you think I'm hiding something?"
"You get this look when you're not telling me everything." Harm said watching.
"I think you're delusional." Mac said putting Abi's dress back in the bag.
"And I think you're hiding something."
"Okay." Mac admitted. "I bought you a gift too."
"You bought me something?"
"Yes." Mac pulled a small blue gift bag out of one of the other bags and handed it to him.
Harm pulled the tissue paper away from the top and pulled out a pair of blue boxer shorts with little red and yellow steermen on.
"I thought they were cute."
"Thank you."
"Just don't wear them to work."
"Duly noted. But there is something else. Did you max out the credit card?" He asked.
"No."
"So what is it?"
"I may have bought a dress to go with the shoes." Mac replied. "Would you like to see it?"
"Why don't you go and try it on?" He suggested.
"I'll be back in a minute." Mac grabbed her bags and ran up the stairs, thankful for the reprieve. She was going to keep Tiner's secret no matter what.

A few minutes later Mac came back downstairs in a blue strappy sundress and matching blue sandals which criss-crossed up her legs.
"Very nice." Harm said, he was sat on the arm of the couch.
"Only very nice?" Mac stepping between his legs and prodding his chest with her finger.
"You look beautiful." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. The extra weight caused him to fall backwards onto the couch taking Mac with him, kicking her legs up into the air. "Nice shoes." Mac smiled and kissed him.
"You know there are better places to do this." She reminded him. "How long ago did Abi have her bottle?"
"About an hour ago."
"Let's go flyboy." She got up and offered her hand to him.
"Whatever you said Ninja-girl."
