******************************************

Mac leaned in and kissed Harm. "Let me tell you how close to a divorce we came. All I wanted was to be left alone with my wound and my children. Had you asked for the divorce I would have given it to you. I was too zombiefied to think of asking for one."

"Oh Mac."

"I eventually decided that if you wanted that woman so badly then I wished nothing but the best for you both."

====================================

I want you to know that I'm happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me

Is she perverted like me

Would she go down on your in a theater

Does she speak eloquently

And would she have your baby

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

====================================

She continued "That of course turned out to be a phase. I got mad real mad."

Harm kept quiet this was the first time Mac had ranted at him over that infidelity and it was three years over due.

"I had nightmares over the whole affair and I was losing weight fast. Remember that I found you and her." Mac could not bring herself to say the name. "It was a slap in the face how quickly you could go from me to her." Without warning "She asked "Were you thinking of me when you fucked her?"

Harm blinked like an owl caught in lights. Eventually "Who was thinking? Had I been thinking you think I would have fucked Renee Peterson in my wife's bed?"

She shook her finger at him "Ooo ooo Good answer. Good answer."

====================================

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity

I hate to bother you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you f@#* her

====================================

"What saved you was the firing range."

"Firing range?"

"Uh huh I took my vengeance out on the firing range. Had you been in my line of fire I would have SHOT you."

"Shhhh" Harm said suddenly.

Mac fought the instinct to continue the tirade. Not an easy thing. He whole body language was saying "Well!"

"I hear voices." He explained.

Mac's maternal instinct kicked in. A Marine mother was not an animal to play with. She listened for the direction of the voice. "Sounds like the TV."

"David." Harm signed.

"I'll take care of it." Mac volunteered "probably watching Ms Cleo."

"Who?"

"Ms Cleo. 'call me now for your free tarot reading'" She imitated the fortune teller as she walked out the door.

====================================

'Cause the love that you gave that we made

Wasn’t able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, 'til you died

But you're still alive

====================================

She returned. "I hope you know that David is Harm Sr. reincarnated."

"He's quite the little man isn't he." Harm replied proudly.

"So where were we." She flopped down next to him.

"Rehashing the past."

"Can't we dwell on something more cherry?"

"I have a better idea. Let's make some new ones."

She gave him a sly grin. "Lead on flyboy I'm right behind you."

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

But you're still alive

THE END
