"Sir, you should put that rose in water otherwise it will wilt and die." Harriet pointed out as she dropped off a file.

"Yeah." Harm said as he smelt the flower.

"Sir, where did you get the rose?" Harriet asked.

"Mac sent it to from me the ones I sent her."

"You sent her roses?" Harriet questioned.

"I sent her roses to ask her on a date on Saturday night."

"That's so sweet sir." Harriet gave a gooey smile.

"Don't go getting teary on me Lieutenant."

"Yes sir. I'll go and get you some water."

"Thank you Harriet."

"You know you're making the rest of us look bad." Sturgis said stood in the doorway of Harm's office a few minutes later. "Harriet asked me to bring you this." He held out glass of water.

"Thanks." Harm took it and put the rose in it.

"So you sent her roses?"

"Does everyone know about that?" Harm questioned.

"You told Harriet." Sturgis pointed out. Harm nodded.

"You taking a break?" Harm asked.

"Yeah, so Mac approves of me babysitting?"

"Jen says you're acceptable." Harm replied.

"What does Jen have to do with anything?"

"I haven't spoken to Mac; I got a note back in response to my offer. But Jen wasn't allowed to hand it over until she made sure that it was someone on Mac's approved list."

"And Mac had me on that list so you're going out Saturday night?" Sturgis double checked.

"Yes."

"Okay. Have decided where you're going?"

"Giorgio's."

"Nice. Well I should get back to it."

"Yeah good luck with that."

"So we have this case going to court martial on Thursday. It should probably last until Wednesday at the latest." Mac said looking at her schedule.

"Yes ma'am. We've got to schedule in that divorce hearing."

"That's why they have civilian judges. Tell them 0900 tomorrow. If it takes more than four hours, then we'll have a continuance until after the court martial is over."

"Got it."

"Tomorrow afternoon I have paperwork and covering any emergencies."

"I'll update the computer. Also regarding the Truman case, the defence attorneys want to depose us next week."

"Schedule it for Friday, in the court martial runs long."

"I'll arrange it."
