Info: Somewhere after FWFS, and assume that they're in San Diego now. I'm not really fond of this, but I got 'One More Day' by Diamond Rio stuck in my head earlier, and the crazy plot bunnies wouldn't leave me alone until I got this out of my system.
This is number 5, and if you still feel the need to ask if I own them, I'm flattered, but, no.
It was times like this when the world seemed so very perfect. It was only them, just Harm and Mac without complications. They were simply sitting together watching the sunset off La Jolla Cove paint the sky into a million different colors.
Ever since she was a little girl, she'd had a habit of wishing on sunsets. It was one of the good memories she had with her dad, when as a five year old, she'd sat on his lap at the edge of the desert and watched a sunset. He told her each one was special and magical in its own way, and part of childhood was being able to believe in magic. For a while though, she'd grown jaded, feeling that it was only a bit of foolishness. But eventually she came to believe in magic again, and so for the last few years, her wish had been the same, every time. A few years ago, she might've made other wishes, to find her good man, her good career and lots of shoes. Things changed, the priorities she'd held a few years ago were radically different from now.
And she listened to the sounds of his heartbeat, mixing with the crashing of the waves and the laughter of children, she made a now familiar wish.
One more sunset.
She opened her eyes to find an expression of pure love on Harm's face, and leaned in for a soft kiss before going back to watching the waves. And when she spotted Mattie running towards them with one two year old riding on her back and another in hot pursuit, their three miracles, she
knew she'd never stop wishing.
A/N: Guh.. yeah, I know, total crap, and here I was hoping these little exercises would help me..
