"H..Harm,..Hi." Mac had attempted to speak. Way to play it cool, Marine.
There had been a pause.
"Mac, is everything okay?" Harm had asked, his tone showing concern.
"Yeah, " Mac had cleared her throat once more, "Yeah, Everything is fine."
"How are things with Kim…and the baby? I hadn't heard back from you after you told me she was in the hospital." Mac had strained, making this kind of small talk had not been the reason for this call.
"She and the baby are fine. The Doctor told her she was doing too much, recommended she stop working, and take it easy at home." Harm had told her, almost mechanically.
"That's nice." Mac had bit her lip and twisted in her seat to look out the window once more, watching a plane take off.
She could hear him breathing. It had soothed her somehow.
"Mac, I…Could we maybe meet for dinner tonight?"
Mac had closed her eyes and taken a deep breath. Now or never.
"Harm, I have to tell you something." She had clutched the phone a little tighter. "Something I am not sure is going to go over so well, but please…just hear me out. This is really…" She had stumbled, " difficult for me to share with you."
"AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 11709 TO SAN DIEGO IS NOW BOARDING" The voice came over the PA.
"Mac, where are you? You are breaking up."
"I have to go, Harm."
"Mac?"
"I'm…at an airport." Mac had breathed as she gathered up her belongings.
"I've…got to go, Harm. My flight is boarding…I…" Her voice had shook. "I'm sorry."
She had shut the phone and grabbed her bag, walking toward the terminal with more confidence than she felt.
