“The Way I
Love You”
British Embassy Ball
“May I have this
dance?” Harm asked Mac.
She smiled and
expected his hand, “Sure.”
On the floor they
moved like they have been dancing together for years. They held a
polite
conversation about everyone around them and how nice the evening
was.
When the dance was finished Bobbie and Sturgis approached them.
“You know
you two dance like you’ve been dancing together for years?”
Bobbie said
to them.
“In some ways we
have.”
Mac said then she added, “Excuse me.” Then Mac walked away from
the three
of them.
Sturgis watched as
Mac walked away and then he turned to his old friend and saw the hurt
look on
his face, “What was that about?” Sturgis asked.
“Old story with a
bad
ending. Excuse me.” Harm said as he walked away from the
couple in
the opposite direction that Mac went.
“Did I say
something
wrong?” Bobbie asked.
Sturgis looked at
his girlfriend, “No, with those two it’s what’s not said. Let’s
dance.” He smiled trying to lighten the mood.
Later that Evening
Bud and Harriet
were
softly dancing together when Bobbie and Sturgis approached them.
“So Bud how are you
doing?” Bobbie asked.
Bud smiled, “Great
Ma’am. Harriet says’ I dance better now then I did before the
accident.”
“I did not. I
just said now you only have one left foot.” Harriet said giving
her
husband a kiss on the cheek.
“I think it’s good
seeing you out here.” Sturgis said.
“It’s good to be
out.” Bud added.
“I have been
meaning
to ask, who helped you learn the dance steps?” Bobbie asked, “Not
that
I’m doubting you ability, but I have seen you dance before.”
“Colonel
MacKenzie. I wanted to surprise Harriet and the Colonel was more
then
happy to help me.” Bud said. “In fact I owe her a
dance. You
don’t mind do you, Harriet?”
Harriet smiled,
“No,
just remember not to wear yourself out. I have plans for later.”
Bud blushed at his
wife’s comment. While Bobbie and Sturgis smiled. “Excuse
me.”
Bud said to them. Then he started walking towards Mac who was
talking
with Admiral Drakes wife.
“It’s good to see
him out and about.” Sturgis said as Bud and Mac started dancing
together.
“It is. I was
really worried there for a while. We really owe it to the
Colonel.
She basically got his six in gear.” Harriet said. Then
Bobbie gave
her a confused look, “Sorry Congresswoman. After the accident Bud
started
going for rehab and he felt sorry for himself. He thought that I
wouldn’t
love him anymore and that AJ wouldn’t accept him.”
Harriet took a
breath and continued, “Well I don’t know what she said to him.
But Buds
physical therapist said it was the darnest thing he ever saw, one
minute Bud
was saying that he was never going to walk again and his life was
ruined along
with mine and AJ’s. The next, everyone in the PT room is watching the
Colonel
as she is yelling at Bud. Bud then stands up and starts working twice
as
hard. He ended up walking across the room without any help and
the
Colonel was in front of him the whole time ordering him around.
The
physical therapist said he’s never seen anyone do that before, be he
was glad
that someone got Bud out of the chair.”
“Did you know that
Mac was helping Bud?” Sturgis asked with a smile from Harriet’s
story.
“I knew she was
helping him with the PT. But tonight was a total surprise.”
Harriet
said as she watched Bud and Mac out on the dance floor.
Sturgis then saw
Harm watching Mac dance and muttered, “Well, I wish we could get
someone else
off his six about something.”
“Harm?”
Bobbie
said looking at Harriet as she followed Sturgis eyes.
“I believe there
are
something’s that are better left off without intervention. You
don’t want
to get hurt. Plus they’ll come around soon.” Harriet said.
“Why?” Bobbie
and Sturgis asked.
“I’m having a
stroke
of luck. My husband is dancing. Mikey is on leave starting next
week. Bud and I are going to try for another baby. And it’s
my week
in the office pool.” Harriet said with a smile.
“What is the office
pool up to?” Bobbie asked.
“Tiner opened a
saving account with the money. He said it was too much money for
a shoe
box.” Then Harriet shrugged her shoulders, “Probably enough to
send AJ to
college.”
“What office
pool?” Sturgis asked.
“The Harm-and-Mac
office pool.” Harriet stated.
“What?”
Sturgis asked again.
“You really don’t
know?” Bobbie said bluntly.
“No, I don’t
know. Hence why I’m asking.” Sturgis said.
“I’ll tell you
later.” Bobbie said as Bud and Mac walked over to group.
“You’ve gotten
better, Bud.” Mac said to him as they reached the group.
“Thanks
Colonel.” Bud said to her. “So what are we talking
about?” He
then asked the group as they got very quiet when the approached.
“You know little
things.” Harriet said, then quickly changed the topic, “Colonel,
I just
wanted to thank you for getting Bud in gear lately.”
Mac smiled, “No
problem Harriet. I was just getting tired of taking more cases
then I had
to.” Causing the group to laugh.
“The real reason is
out.” Sturgis said.
“Plus it’s nice
having him around the office again.” Mac said with a genuine
smile.
“It’s nice to be
back, even if I’m not taking any hard cases.” Bud admitted.
Then
Harm joined the group. “Commander, how are you enjoying the
ball?”
Bud asked.
“It’s nice Bud,
you’re looking good out there.” Harm said to his friend.
“I owe it to the
Colonel.” Bud said with a smile.
Then Bobbie added,
“Well I think that Mac could make anyone look good in that
dress.” Trying
to get Harm to notice Mac.
“Thank you, I think
Bobbie.” Mac said blushing a little.
Then the group was
quiet because they really couldn’t think of anything to say that wasn’t
about
Harm and Mac. So Mac decided to start a new topic, “So Harm, what
is
Sergei doing now that he’s found his own apartment?”
“He’s taking adult
education classes in
“He must be really
excited about that?” Harriet asked.
“He is, in fact he
said that he wouldn’t even mind flying for the local news.” Harm
said
with a slight laugh.
“How soon will he
be
getting his license?” Sturgis asked.
“He hopes to have
it
by the next month or two.” Harm said.
“Has he thought
about doing something for the government?” Bobbie asked.
“We had a hard
enough time getting his citizenship. He just wants something in
the
private sector.” Harm said with a somewhat worried look on his
face.
“He seems to
adjusting well to
“Is he still after
Singer?” Harriet asked with a knowing smile.
Harm took a deep
breath, “I think he’s finally over her. Why did he fall her?”
The group started
to
chuckle at that comment, “Is he seeing anyone?” Bobbie asked.
“No, and don’t get
any ideas.” Harm said pointing at Sturgis and Bobbie.
“Who us?”
They
both asked him.
“Yeah, we all saw
how well you two did with picking out a woman for the Admiral.”
Harm
said.
“Well he didn’t
take
you’re woman either.” Sturgis stated.
“Didn’t he end up
going for Colonel’s friend?” Harriet asked.
“Meredith.”
Mac said with a slight smile.
“Maybe Sergei
should
ask the Colonel to fix him up with someone. She did fine with the
Admiral.” Bud stated.
“I did not fix them
up. They took care of that on their own.” Mac said
defending
herself. “Plus, I wouldn’t want to fix Sergei up.”
“Why not?” Sturgis
asked.
“For several
reasons. One, I don’t fix people up. Two, I don’t know his
type. And Three, I don’t fix people up.” Mac stated as she
counted
the reasons off on her fingers.
“You said that all
ready.” Bobbie said with a smile.
“Well, I’ve seen
the
men you pick and how those relationships have ended. I
don’t think
I would want to see what you would pick for my brother.” Harm
said,
trying to be funny.
Mac just glared at
him, “Oh and you’ve done so well for yourself.” Then she looked
at the
others, “Excuse me.” Then Mac walked away from the group.
Everyone was silent
for awhile as they all looked at each trying to avoid looking at
Harm.
Bobbie being the politician that she is decided to break the silence,
“Have you
always been a jerk or did I just not notice this before?”
“With the Colonel
he’s always been a jerk.” Harriet stated.
The two men just
looked at Harm as the women continued to talk about Harm and Mac,
“Harm, you
really need to talk to her.” Bobbie stated.
“About what?”
Harm asked.
“Are you stupid
also?” Bobbie asked him.
“Bobbie, I really
don’t think now is the time nor the place to have this conversation
with
him.” Sturgis said thinking that Bobbie would stop.
“Oh, I think now is
the perfect time to.” Bobbie told Sturgis who just shut his
mouth.
“Harm she’s you’re best friend. She’s been there through a lot of
the
stupid things you have done and you treat her horrible.” Bobbie
stated to
him.
“She’s stood by you
through a lot. A lot of things that other women would have
left.
And if I remember correctly some did leave you because of those
things.”
Harriet said.
Harm just looked at
Harriet and Bobbie and took a deep breath. “So what should I do?”
“The opposite of
what you have been doing you jerk.” Bobbie said. Then she
took a
deep breath and looked at Harriet, “Harriet I’m going to find Mac and
talk to
her would you like to join me?”
“I would love to.”
Harriet said to Bobbie.
“Excuse us.”
Bobbie said as she and Harriet walked away in the direction that Mac
walked off
to.
Bud and Sturgis
just
looked at Harm and didn’t say anything. “Thanks for jumping in
there
guys.”
“Hey, I tried and I
nearly got my head bit off.” Sturgis said looking at Harm then he
looked
at Bud, “Why didn’t you say anything?”
“I know better,
Sir.” Bud said. Then he turned to Harm, “But Sir, that was
very
rude to say to the Colonel.”
“I know Bud.
But unfortunately when I’m around Mac the wrong words tend to come out
of my
mouth.” Harm stated.
“That explains
it.” The Admiral said as he walked to where his three officers
where
standing.
“Sir.” The
three of them said.
“Meredith and I
just
ran into the Colonel. She seemed upset. What did you do now
Rabb?” The Admiral said looking at the younger man.
“Something
stupid.” Sturgis said for Harm.
“Rabb, didn’t we
have a conversation about trying to stop that.” The Admiral said
crossing
his arms.
“Yes, Sir.”
Harm said.
“Well, now my date
is with her.” The Admiral stated in a slightly miffed voice.
“Along with ours
Sir.” Bud stated.
“Harm. You
can
ruin your own night, but please don’t ruin ours.” The Admiral
said to him
as the three women walked over to the four men.
“Is it safe to talk
to you two now?” Sturgis asked Bobbie and Harriet.
“We’re fine.”
Bobbie said slipping her arm onto Sturgis’.
Bud just looked at
his wife, “The Colonel reminded me of what I have.” Harriet said
as she
kissed Bud on the cheek.
Harm bit his lip on
that comment, “Don’t worry Harm. She’s use to you being a
jerk.”
Meredith said to him.
“Is she OK?”
Harm asked the women.
Bobbie took a deep
breath, “I promised myself I would not get upset.”
“Well, let me help
you with that. Shall we dance?” Sturgis asked noticing that
Bobbie
might hurt Harm is she staid there.
“I would love
to.” Bobbie said. Then she and Sturgis walked onto the
dance floor.
“She wants to kill
me.” Harm said.
“No, Bobbie just
wants to hurt you.” Meredith said. “Come on AJ, dance with
me.”
“Yes, Ma’am.” The
Admiral said as they walked away.
“Commander, I need
to ask you one question.” Harriet said to him.
“Yes,
Harriet.” Harm said grateful that Harriet was talking to him not
at him.
“Do you love the
Colonel?” Harriet asked.
Harm was silent for
a second, then he opened his mouth, “She’s my best friend and a great
adversary.”
Harriet looked at
him, “Diversion, good technique. Bud lets get something to
drink.”
Then Harriet and Bud left Harm by himself.
Harm watch his
friends leave him and then decided to get some fresh air and he walked
out onto
one of the balcony’s that was off of the ballroom. The balcony
was fairly
large. It had some potted trees with lights and some benches set
up along
the outside walls. Harm walked over to the railing and looked out
on
Washington.
There were a few
other people outside, even though the temperature was to drop into the
50’s
tonight. To his left was a couple who looked to be in their
60’s.
Harm noticed how happy they looked together. The man was pointing
out the
sights of Washington to the woman. She just ‘ohhed’ and
‘awed’.
Harm then turned to his left and there was a Lt. Commander with his
date and
they were talking about one thing or another.
Harm then faced
forward and saw the sights of the city. As he stood there he was
thinking
about a lot of different things. Mostly about Mac and what a jerk
he had
been, again. He looked up at the full moon that was showing
itself and
whispered, “Give me one more chance and I promise I won’t screw it up.”
After a few minutes
the two couples on his sides returned back into the ballroom.
Harm was
still thinking about Mac when he turned to his left and saw her
standing near
the railing. He could tell she really wasn’t looking at the city,
but she
was thinking. He’d seen that look on her face when she would be
sitting
in her office after a long day. Or when they would be on
assignment and
he would catch her with that look, her excuse was always ‘just letting
my mind
take a break.’ She would never tell him what she was thinking
about.
Harm watched her,
she hadn’t notice him. He took that as a good sign, considering
when she
saw him she would probably go into the ballroom. Since she hadn’t
moved
Harm decided to approach her. He took a deep breath and slowly
walked
over to her. “Nice night.” He said snapping Mac out of her
trance.
“It is.” She
softly said to him. She hadn’t turned to look at him yet.
Harm stood next to
her looking at the city in the same direction she was. “Have you
ever
wondered how many light bulbs are used in this city?” He asked
hoping
that she would answer.
Mac thought about
his question. She knew him well enough to know that this was his
way of
trying to start a conversation. She decided to play along.
“No, I
haven’t wondered. Do you?”
“I wonder about a
lot of things.” Harm then stated, “Like I wonder what the best
way is to
apologize to someone who I’ve hurt.”
“Groveling is
always
good.” Mac stated.
“Yeah.” Harm
said. “Mac, I’m sorry for saying what I said.”
“Why did you said
it
then?” Mac asked.
“I don’t
know.
Why did you come back at me the remark that you used?”
“I knew that it
would hurt you more then if I just walked away without saying
anything.”
Mac told him.
“Well, it got
Bobbie
and Harriet both mad at me.” Harm said thinking about the other
women.
“Their fine.
They just couldn’t believe that you would say something like
that. I told
them that you have a life threatening disease.”
“I do?” Harm
asked.
“Yeah, it’s called
Jerkism. The tendency to act like a jerk to someone who can
easily break
every bone in your body.” Mac explained.
“This could be a
problem for me, considering there’s no cure yet.” Harm lamely
said.
“I am sorry.”
“Luckily for you
I’ve calmed down or I would have thrown you over the rail
already.” Mac
said looking down from the railing of the balcony.
Harm followed her
gaze. “You think you could lift me and throw me over?”
Mac then turned to
face him, “Do you want to find out Commander?” Mac asked him with
her
try-me expression.
Harm gave her a
worried smile, “I know you could do it. I’m sorry for what I said
Mac. I just I got nervous and was worried for a second.”
“Harm we were
talking about your bother. Why would you be worried about me
helping
him?” Mac asked.
“I don’t
know.
I think it has to deal with the fact that I can’t find my own girl to
be
with. And the thought of you finding him one bothers me.”
“Why does that
bother you? I even said that I wouldn’t do it.” Mac told
him.
“It bothers me
because…I don’t know it just does.” Harm confusedly said.
“You know there are
times I can’t believe your a lawyer.” Mac said staring at him.
“Why?” He
asked.
“You lack of
communication skills.” Mac told him.
“The law is one
thing. Talking to you is different.” Harm said.
“How?” She
asked, then she added. “And let me remind you that you are three
stories
up.”
Harm gave her a
soft
smile, “You’re my best friend. My favorite adversary in
court. The
person I talk to about my problems. The person my mother always
ask
about. You are so much to me and I don’t know how to act around
you. Why is it you don’t have this problem?”
Mac was silent as
she thought about a response, “I just know how to hid it better.”
“How do you hid
it?” Harm asked.
“It’s something
that
I’ve learned to do a long time ago.” Mac told him.
“Huh?”
“I’ve always had to
fight to be treated like an equal to men. If I didn’t hid things
I
wouldn’t be where I am today. I hid things so people don’t see
how weak I
am.” Mac told him.
“I don’t think your
weak.” Harm told her honestly.
“Yes, you
do.”
Mac told him.
“No, I
don’t.”
Harm restated.
“Harm I watch
you. I see you and hear what you say. It does not deal with
you
thinking about me as a friend. ” Mac told him.
“Like what?”
Harm asked crossing his arms in front of him.
“The way you act
when men are around me.” Mac listed as one reason, “When we are
on
assignments, you try to protect me from things.”
“Mac, I do those
things to protect you.”
“From what?”
“Getting hurt for
one. Emotionally and physically.”
“In case you
haven’t
noticed I’m a Marine.” Mac stated to him raising her voice a
little.
“And a damn good
one
at that. But in case you haven’t noticed your also a beautiful
woman.” Harm said.
Mac let out a
slight
chuckle, “I swear if you say something about women being weaker, you’re
going
over the railing.” She warned him.
“It has noting
about
women being weaker then me. It has to deal with you being you and
who you
are to me.” Harm said.
“Oh, yeah.
That makes perfect sense. Would you like some mud to help clear
that
up?” Responded Mac to his vague statement.
Harm ran his
fingers
through his hair, “I don’t know how to tell you this.”
Mac leaned towards
him, “One word at a time usually works.”
Harm smiled, “Yeah,
but those words have a hard time coming out.”
Mac just shook her
head, “Maybe you’re not ready for them yet.”
“But what if I am
ready?” Harm asked her.
“You’re the one who
has to make the move here Harm. Not me.” Mac said to him.
He just looked at
her, “I know.”
Mac then turned
back
to looking at the city with Harm still looking at her, “I accept your
apology
for the comment earlier. I’ve listed it in the same category as
your
others.”
“Must be a big
category.”
“You say them, I
just remember them.” Mac said.
Harm chuckled at
that comment, “Well, don’t think you’re the only one with a memory like
that.”
“I don’t.”
Mac
said then she turned around and looked at the ballroom, “I’m going back
in. See you later.”
Mac then started
walking to the ballroom-balcony door, “Mac.” Harm said to her
from the
railing.
“Yeah.”
“Save me a dance
would you?” He asked.
“Sure.” Mac
said then she walked back into the ballroom.
Later that night
The Ball had ended
and everyone is gathering their things. Mac is picking her purse
off of
the table that she and the rest of people from JAG were sharing.
“Mac,
it’s no problem really.” Bobbie said as Sturgis helped her with
her coat.
“No, really I can
get a cab.” Mac said to her.
“Why do you need a
cab?” Harm asked as he put his cover on.
“My vette decided
not to work, so I took a cab here. And I can take one home.” Mac
explained.
“Do you know what’s
wrong with your car?” Harm asked watching her put her coat on.
“No, probably the
battery or something. My neighbor is a mechanic he said he would
tow it
to his shop.” Mac told him.
“Probably going to
cost you a few.” Sturgis stated.
“I know.” Mac
said with a sigh.
“That’s the problem
with the new vette’s. Let me have a look at it Mac.” Harm
offered.
“You?” Mac
said pointing at him.
“I have rebuilt two
classics.” Harm stated. “It will be part of my apology.”
“For which
comment?” Mac said with a smile.
“What else did you
say?!” Bobbie yelled at Harm.
Mac started
laughing, “Sure, Harm you can look at my car.”
“Great. I’ll
come by tomorrow morning.” He said as the group started to walk
out. “Let me give you a drive home. I don’t trust cab
drives this
late.”
Sturgis looked at
Harm odd, “Protecting thing again.” Mac said. Causing
Bobbie to
give Mac a strange look. “But I accept.”
“Good.” Harm
said.
The group made it
to
the valet parking desk. Sturgis and Harm handed the valet workers
their
tickets and the two men went off for their cars. “So Sturgis if I
have to
spend time on Mac’s car you want to help?”
Sturgis looked at
Mac, “I would love to get my hands on that car.” Sturgis and Harm
then
started talking about Mac’s car and what might be wrong with it.
Bobbie leaned over
to Mac and whispered, “They are talking about your car and not you.”
“God I hope so or
you might kill him.” Mac whispered back to her. Causing
both of the
women to laugh.
Sturgis and Harm
then looked at the two women, “What’s so funny?”
“Boys and their
toys.” Bobbie said with a smile as Sturgis’ and Harm’s cars were
pulled
up.
The group exchanged
pleasantries as they got into their cars. The ride to Mac’s
apartment was
nice. Harm and Mac talked very little about things and just
enjoyed each
others company.
As they approached
Mac’s apartment Harm pulled into a parking spot and shut off the
engine.
Mac looked at him oddly, “You don’t need to wait for me to get inside.”
“I’m not.”
Harm said as he got out of the car. Mac watched him as he walked
around
the front of the car and opened Mac’s door. As he helped Mac out
of the
car he explained, “My mother would kill me if I didn’t walk you to your
door.”
“Well we can’t have
your mother kill you.” Mac said accepting his hand as they walked
into
the apartment building.
Once they reached
Mac’s door, she unlocked it and opened it a little. Which then
Jingo
opened the rest of the way. The dog then jumped up on Harm and
began licking
his hand. Harm petted the dog and just laughed. Mac then
tapped
Jingo and he went back into the apartment. “Sorry.” She
said.
“No problem.
Can I wash my hand?” Harm said pointing to the dog droll.
“Sure.” Mac said as
they walked in. She turned on the lights and Harm walked into the
kitchen
to wash his hands.
Mac took off her
coat and placed it on a chair. She was taking off her shoes when
Harm
walked back into the room. “Not conformable?”
“No. I’m
still
working on that one.” Mac said getting the other shoe off.
She then
stood up and wiggled her toes, “Much better.”
Harm was just
staring at her, “What?” she asked looking at him.
“You owe me a
dance.” Harm stated with a smile.
“You never claimed
you dance.” Mac stated to him.
Harm then walked
over to her and looked her in the eyes, “I’m claiming it now.”
“No music.”
Mac stated the obvious.
Harm walked over to
her stereo and CD collection. He took a minute and found a
CD. He
smiled as he pulled the CD out of the case and placed it into the CD
player. He then hit a few buttons and cued the CD up to the song
that he
wanted. He also pressed the repeat button, so the song would
continue to
play.
As the music
started
to play he walked over to Mac, who was just smiling at him. Harm
then put
his hands around Macs waist. Mac looked at him strangely, “Don’t
you
hands go some where else.”
“No, this is a
different dance.” Harm said as he took one of his hands and
placed Mac’s
hands behind his neck.
Mac slightly
shifted
in his arms as she recognized the song. Track 7 on her Chris
Cagle
CD. She’s listened to this song over and over again thinking of
Harm.
Harm watched her as
they listened to the words and started to dance.
Tell me what else I
can do
Tell me what else I
can say
The closer that I
get to you
The future you push
me away
Till I don’t know
where to go
And I don’t know
why
I stay
Do you even care
Or am I some little
game you play
Are you ever going
to need me, baby
Like I need you
Are you ever going
want
me, baby
The way I want you
to
I know that you
love
me
Oh, down deep
inside
I know that you do
But are you ever
going to love me
The way I love you
I never know how
you
feel
Cause Baby, I can’t
read your mind
Do I just keep
waiting
Or am I just
wasting
time
Are you ever going
to need me, baby
Like I need you
Are you ever going
to want me, baby
The way I want you
to
I know that you
love
me
Oh, Baby down deep
inside you do
But are you ever
going to love me
Are you ever going
to love me, baby
The way I love you
As the song played
Mac laid her head on Harm’s shoulder and closed her eyes. Harm
bent his
head down and rested it on top of Mac. They held onto each other
as they
moved very slowly to the music. Their bodies in constant contact
with one
another.
At the end of the
song Harm lifted his head off of Mac’s. Mac raised her head and
looked at
him. “I’m ready for a new dance with you.” Harm said as he leaned
down
and kissed Mac showing her how he felt.
When he stopped
kissing her, the song had restarted. Mac looked up at him, “Why
did you
choose this song?”
“I bought the CD
and
the first time I heard this song it kind of says everything I
can’t.”
Harm explained.
“Ohh.” Mac
said as she started to run her fingers through his hair near the back
of his
neck.
Harm just smiled at
her and kissed her again. This time the kiss was passionate and
Mac
reciprocated the feelings with him. They danced and kissed for
the next
twenty minutes. Then Harm finally looked at her and said, “I
better get
going. I have to be here early and look at your car.”
Mac released her
hands from Harm’s neck and ran them down his arms. Harm’s arms tingled
at her
touch. “Yeah. Do you want to have breakfast before you
start on the
car?” She asked.
“I would love
to.” Then they walked over to the door. “Make sure you call
your
neighbor about the car.”
Mac smiled. “Harm,
my neighbor is a sixty year old woman who watches Jingo for me.”
“You lied.”
Harm said very astonished.
“No. I miss
lead you, I was going to ask you to look at my car. But I thought
I would
let it look like the hero to Bobbie. So she would forgive
you.” Mac
explained.
Harm leaned towards
Mac, “That’s going to cost you.”
“What’s my
fine?” Mac asked as she put her hand on Harm’s cheek.
Harm then leaned
down and kissed her, “That ought to do it.” He said to her.
“I’ll
see you tomorrow.”
“OK.
Bye.” Mac said. Then Harm stole one more kiss and walked
down the
hall with a slight hop in his step.
Mac watched as he
walked down the hall. Then she walked back into her apartment and
locked
the door. “He wants a new dance.” She whispered to herself
with a
smile.
The End - Maybe
