Mac's Apartment
Nov. 14th 2000
Mac stared out her apartment window as the rain started to fall, she knew that her face looked like the pane of glass in front of her. She had tried calling Mic but didn’t get an answer from his home or cell phone. The one time I really needed him and he can’t be reached she though ruefully. A knock at the door brought her out of her revelry.
“ Coming.” She said as she wiped her face. Most times she didn’t want anyone to see her cry, only Harm had seen her cry on more than one occasion, but tonight, she didn’t care. “ Harm!” she said in surprise as she saw his tear ridden face too. It took just a second from for them to come together, finding comfort in the others arms.
“ The admiral just called me and I didn’t know where else to go. He said he was taking Bud back to the hospital to be with Harriet. I feel so bad for them Mac, I,” he finished as his voice cracked.
Mac just squeezed him harder as he carried her over to the sofa, sitting down with her in his lap.
It was 20 minutes later till either of them made a move to separate.
“ I am glad you came over Harm but you need to get home to Renee.” She said as she tried to get up.
Harm held fast to her, “ I wasn’t able to find her, she was supposed to have some meeting and go out with the clients afterwards. She was pissed at me because of the case.”
“ When is she not pissed at you because of a case.”
“ Very little. Enough about her, when are you going to go and see Harriet?” He asked not wanting to talk about the other people cluttering their lives. Especially Mic, though he really wanted to know why he wasn’t there.
Mac wiped her face as she decided to settle back against him, her words earlier going through her mind as she went back over what she had said at the trial about marriage. “ I figure first thing in the morning. The Admiral said she was sleeping.”
When she leaned back into his embrace, their words about the young couple really being in love and did she ever love him went through his mind as he glanced down at the ring on her hand. “ Would you like me to stay Mac? I know you hate storms and that you look like you could use a friend. And that way we can go together in the morning.”
Mac smiled for the 1st time since the phone call. “ I think I have an extra blanket or two around her somewhere if you don’t mind the couch.”
“ I have slept in and on worse when we have shared space marine.”
“ Thanks Harm.”
“ Anytime Mac.”
He finally let her go as she made them some coffee and some sandwiches from the stuff in her fridge. They covered many topics and held on to each other as the need to just be near someone came upon them.
