Chapter 22
I Do (Cherish You)
--------------------
I do, I do
All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes, shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
You hand brushes mine
And the thousand sensations
Seduce me 'cause I
They got back to the office on Wednesday morning and Harm looked a little worse for wear. Mac noticed immediately and gave him a smile. She watched his face light up. He changed his course to follow her into the break room.
"Good morning, Colonel," he said formally, a smile flitting across his mouth.
"Good morning, Commander," she responded. With that, all formalities were dispensed wit. He grasped her from behind and pulled her back against him.
"I missed you last night," he whispered, watching her fix her coffee.
"Lunch then?" she asked, leaning back with her mug in her hand.
"Of course," he responded. "When are you talking to the Admiral about judiciary?"
"This morning hopefully," she replied, kissing his cheek and heading back to her office.
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long
To say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
He popped his head into her office around noon and they left for lunch. She noticed him fidgeting, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel and tapping his foot. He also suggested they eat their lunch in the park. Mack gave him a funny look when he suggested it, but agreed.
"Harm? What on earth is wrong with you?"
"Did you talk to the Admiral this morning?"
"I move in three weeks. Just enough time to finish all of my cases," she replied, taking a seat on the nearby bench. "Why?"
"Sarah, I need you to listen and hear me out, okay?" Harm asked. Mac nodded, though apprehensively.
"I love you so much, more, I think, than I've loved anyone else in my life and I don't know what I'd do without you in it. So, Sarah MacKenzie, will you do me the greatest honour of becoming my wife?"
In my world before you
Lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Till the day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
'Till my dying days
Mac's jaw dropped as Harm pulled from his pocket a black velvet box. Inside was a beautiful diamond, tastefully small, framed by two rubies.
"Mac? Sarah?"
"Yes," she squeaked out finally. Then, clearing her throat, repeated her answer.
I do, cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
If you're asking do I love you this much
Yes I do
She stood and threw her arms around Harm as he gripped her waist tightly. Tears leaked out of her eyes as Harm spun her around, setting her lightly back on her feet. He then took a hold of her left hand and, with one look in her eyes, placed the ring on her finger. She wrapped one arm around his waist, he put his around her shoulder and, their lunches forgotten, they headed back to the office.
If you're asking do I love you this much
Baby, I do cherish you
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long
To say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
Baby, I do
