Mac's Apartment
The last few days were spent running and relaxing.
Harm had just gotten to sleep when he heard her screams again just like the nights before, and just as before he went to her side to her. This time when he was consoling her instead of just being there he dared to ask her what he'd been wanting to ask for a week or so.
"Sarah?" Harm asked hesitantly
Ô There he goes with Sarah again' she thought.
"Um well I was wondering um." He had wanted to know but wasn't sure if now was the time to ask.
"Spit it out Flyboy." Mac encouraged.
Ô Well if she's up to calling me Flyboy then I'm sure she can handle this' he thought Ôok here we go' "What is it about?
Mac immediately knew he was talking about her nightmare, but wasn't sure if she was ready to talk about it, ÔHe has been here all week dealing with you' she thought to herself. "Well can I tell you in the morning then?" she asked him sincerely.
"Of course you can, take all the time you need to." Harm told her. They stayed there and slept, as had been the norm.

Next Day
Harm was up and making breakfast when Mac awoke that morning.
"Harm if I haven't told you enough lately I'll tell you again, you don't need to make me breakfast, much less" Mac was ecstatic he actually made her bacon. Harm smiled at her speechlessness, which was such a rarity but had happened many times recently.
Ô Ok well that went well hopefully she'll tell me what's going on today' Harm thought to himself. "Glad you like it Ninja Girl cuz it's all for you," Harm made a disgusted face as se dug into the plate he stuck in front of her.
"If you don't like it don't watch Squid."
Harm and Mac ate their breakfast and went to run as they had been.
During their run they had talked about their godson, AJ, and about many things other than what was on both of their minds, the nightmare. They had gone three miles before Mac brought it up.
"Harm can we take a break and talk?" Mac asked as they neared a bench by the path.
"Of course we can Mac." Harm replied heading over to the bench. They sat down and stayed there in silence for a few minutes before Mac broke the silence.
"I know that this is going to sound really stupid and make you regret spending all of this time using up your leave time, but my nightmare uh was about um." Mac struggled to find the right way to explain it.
"Take you're time Marine, no rush." Harm said just as he was thinking, Ô Please tell me I hate seeing you like this.
"Ok um well, how do I put this," Mac was trying to sort her thoughts, "The nightmare I've been having has involved a few people the both of us know," Mac started.
