Thank you all so so much for the reviews. You guys are great. Sorry to leave you hanging last time. I'm not sure myself exactly where I'm going with this. Look for at least one more chapter, but it might be a week or so. Next semester starts in one day L.

From Chapter 2

"Spit it out Harm."

He closed his eyes and knew he was going to regret telling her this. "A woman kissed me."

Mac was silent for what seemed to be an eternity. But her response was definitely not what Harm was expecting.

Chapter 3

Mac had no idea what to think. At first, she was a little offended. If it hadn't meant anything to Harm he wouldn't have told her about. Or would he? She was just confusing herself by thinking about it. She decided to ask him about it, more like bombarded him with questions. "Did it mean something to you? Are you trying to tell me that you aren't going to be there for me anymore? What…what's happening? I mean I was finally beginning to believe you about always being there for me, but how…?"

Harm knew he had to stop her before this got out of hand. "Mac, Sarah, calm down okay? It meant absolutely nothing to me. It was like three seconds. And I promise I was think of you when it happened-"

"You were probably thinking of how I'm going to kick your six." His eyebrows shot up at the thought of Mac kicking his six because he knew she could do it.

"Mac, I told you because I wanted to be honest. I think she could've possibly wanted more, but I told her that I was taken."

Once again, silence filled the line as Mac thought about what Harm had just said. "Harm, we're not…"

"I know we're not officially dating or anything, but the truth is that you've had my heart for the longest time whether I admitted it or not. I don't want to do this over the phone Mac. I want to see you, see your reaction when I tell you, but surely you already know." He had subconsciously walked over to his nightstand and got out an engagement ring.

"Harm what are you talking about?" She knew, but she just needed to hear it. She needed to know that Harm loved her. But when she thought about it; thought about Harm, his past actions proved that he loved her whether he could say it or not.

For being the dazzling litigator that he was, Harm couldn't quite explain himself correctly. "Mac…"

"Yes Harm?" She was smiling over the line where she was and he knew it. He could hear the smile in her voice.

"When are you coming back?" The only thing he could think to do was to change the subject. He wanted to get lost in her chocolaty brown orbs when he told her he loved her. "Listen I know that the words are important to you. But come back to me Mac…" He was holding the ring between the pad of his thumb and index finger. The diamond mounted on the ring created a rainbow effect as it reflected the light shining through the window.

"Harm, I'll be home tomorrow," she said with a hint of resignation in her voice. She wanted to hear him tell her he loved her. But hearing his voice was enough to give her the strength she needed to come to terms with the past year. Harm and her therapy; for now they were her lifelines. "I have to go."

"Mac wait." He also didn't want to end the conversation knowing he wouldn't see her until tomorrow. 'Geez I'm a sap,' he thought to himself.

Mac too, was thankful that he wasn't going to get off the line immediately. "What's up?"

"I have two things. Mattie says hello and…" He still hated to bring the subject up, but he needed to know.

"And…?" She enjoyed the sound of his voice. It mad her feel secure and comfortable, and that's exactly what she needed.

So with his uncertainty he asked, "are you mad? About the kiss I mean."

She smiled and to Harm's surprise laughed it off, "Harm it's okay."

"Really?" 'This woman amazes me,' he thought.

"Yeah." She had faith in him and trusted him. She had no reason to doubt him anymore.

"So we're okay?"

"Harm we're fine okay? I trust you and love you. After my accident, I know that. You spent your Christmas Eve and Christmas with me, not to mention taking care of me. We'll figure this out and everything will be okay. Know that I love you. I'll come find you when I get back tomorrow."

He already knew they were going to have another talk. But for now this would have to be enough. "Okay."

Still not ready to hang up the phone, Mac continued talking just to hear his voice. "It's interesting we're having this conversation over the phone."

"Yeah, but I miss talking to you on the phone. I miss coming to your apartment for no reason other than to be with my best friend. We'll have to work on that. Mac?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for loving me." He closed his eyes and saw her face. He smile and her brown eyes.

"Well you're very lovable…most of the time. Goodnight Harm."

"Goodnight Mac." He put Mac's engagement ring back in its box and its rightful place.

Both of them hung up their phones with great reluctance. Harm feeling bad that he didn't tell her he loved her, and Mac not wanting to end the conversation. But both of them were looking forward to seeing each other again.

Once again thanks so much for the reviews. I really appreciate them.
