Atlanta Ga

1865

Sarah made her way threw the local streets heading home like she had been ordered to. She never heard the sound of the horse approach behind her, suddenly she stopped when the horse and rider appeared in front of her.

"Please Lt move out of my path. I need to make my way home."

"Ma'am I mean you no disrespect, I simply didn't want a lady as lovely as yourself to walk these dangerous streets alone."

"These streets are safe for myself to walk Lt, you however are the one that should be on the look out."

"Than perhaps I'm the one in need of an escort."

Not sure what to make of this solider, and being quite taken by his looks and charms, she decided to allow him escort her home. "Fine you may escort me home."

Lt Rabb dismounted his horse and walked around to front, still clutching the reins of him. He extended his free arm to Sarah. "Ma'am if I may."

"Yes; you may." She laced her arm with his and they began their walk to her home.

"Lt your horse is a very beautiful animal, does he have a name?"

"Yes Ma'am he does. His name is TomCat."

"That's quite an unusual name for a horse."

Lt Rabb chuckled, "I'd have to agree with about that Ma'am; but I assure you the name is fitting."

"Please tell."

As they continued on their walk Lt Rabb told how his horse came about his name. "He tried to kill you three times? All because he gets spooked by TomCats?"

"Yes; but I still continue to ride him, he's a good boy."

Sarah looked over at beautiful animal. "Yes he is quite a powerful looking horse. His color is different from most horses I've seen. I do not recall seeing a dark grey horse before."

"I've been told his color is very rare. One reason I will never part with him. When I find something or someone rare I want to hold on to that."

Sarah looked into Lt Rabb's perfect blue eyes. Suddenly something sparked, she felt her soul connect to his. She suddenly felt drawn to him. She couldn't explain it, she wanted him.

At that same moment Harmon felt his heart start to race. He felt himself being pulled to Sarah, it was like nothing he had experienced before. He wanted to kiss her.

Before either realized what was happening, they found themselves in each other's embrace. Their lips melting into each other's, they each felt their souls connect to each other. As soon as the kiss started it ended.

Both looked at the other, both being left breathless. "Ma'am I am..."

She placed her hand on his lips. "No Lt; I wanted you to kiss me. In fact if you want to kiss me again in the future, you have my permission and I want you to call me Sarah. May I call you Harmon?"

"I would like that."

Present Day

Back in Harm and Mac's bedroom

Mac found herself getting sleepy, she started to continue reading, when she felt Harm shift on the bed. Looking down she noticed that he had fallen sound asleep, deciding she needed her sleep as well, she closed up her book and placed it on the nightstand next to the bed. After all she has all the next day to continue reading.

Harm and Mac's Apartment

North of Union Station

( Next day while Harm is at JAG)

After wishing Harm a good day at JAG, Mac went about her now normal routine. Shower, breakfast, sit on sofa with her book. She adjusted her pillows behind her, pulled the deep red fluffy blanket ( that Harm gave her ) over and her snuggled in ready to be transported back to the days of the Civil War...
