Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters… yadda yadda yadda…. the song “Saved the Best for Last” by Vanessa Williams, don’t know what album, heard it on the radio and had a fanfic pop into my head so here it is… I will return when finished no copyright infringement intended this is just for entertainment….
Georgetown
Mac’s Apartment
0125 Zulu (2025 EST…. and 15 seconds :-)
Mac walked into her apartment after an extremely long day… and if things continued this way it would move into an extremely long week. She moved into the kitchen to see if she could find something edible in there… all she could find was half a carton of Ben and Jerry’s Cookie Dough ice cream… she grabbed a spoon and went back into her living room, pushed the power button on the radio and dropped wearily onto the couch. <If Harm saw me now… he would probably say something against ice cream.> She chuckled to herself and sat back to enjoy her treat. On the radio the soft strains of another song started…
Sometimes the snow comes
down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round
the moon
I see the passion in your
eyes
Sometimes it's all a big
surprise
Mac just smiled and wondered if Harm could see the passion in her eyes when she looked at him…
North of Union Station
Harm’s Apartment
0126 Zulu (2026 EST)
<Home finally!> he thought to himself. He was getting hungry but had no energy to get up off of the couch where he had dropped as soon as he was next to it. He reached over and picked up the remote to his stereo and hit the power button… a song was just starting…
Sometimes the snow comes
down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round
the moon
I see the passion in your
eyes
Sometimes it's all a big
surprise
Was he as good at hiding his feelings as he thought he was? Or could his beautiful partner see the passion in his eyes every time he looked at her….
Mac’s place
Cause there was a time when
all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or
how I planned
But somehow it's enough
Harm had never told her that he loved her… oh how she wished he would because then she could tell him how she felt… but he did not feel the same about her… sure she was his best friend but that was all. She could only wish to be more….
Harm’s place
But now we're standing
face-to-face
Isn't this world a crazy
place
Just when I thought our
chance had passed
You go and save the best for
last
Right now all he wished was to see Mac’s face in front of him telling him things he only heard in his dreams. He was in love with his best friend… but that was all he was to her… her friend. He could only wish for more…
Sarah’s
All of the nights you came
to me
When some silly girl had set
you free
I wondered how you'd make it
through
I wondered what was wrong
with you
Cause how could you give
your love to someone else
And share your dreams with
me
Sometimes the very thing
you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't
see
You did come to me first, Harm… when you thought you were seeing the ghost of your father, you have always come to me first. Why can't you love me Harm, why? Why are you doing this to me? You are involved with her, but you have always come to me, why? Can’t you see that it is tearing me apart…?
Harm’s
But now we're standing
face-to-face
Isn't this world a crazy
place
Just when I thought our
chance had passed
You go and save the best for
last
Sometimes the very thing
you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't
see
Was he missing something that was right in front of his face? He could not shake the feeling that he was…

last
You went and saved the best
for last, yeah.
She sat there thinking about the words of the song… could they come true for her? She could hope… she was interrupted by a knock at the door. She went to open the door and standing there was her sailor. The man she loved. Did she wish him here? She would never know… for before she got another thought out he had walked into her apartment, shut the door and reached for her…. He was kissing her with a hunger that she had never known before.
She tried desperately to get control of her mind but she seemed to have misplaced it. Her hand slide up and around his neck pulling him tighter against her… she heard the groan coming from his throat and knew that he was just as lost as she was….
She tasted sooo good, not like anything he had ever felt before, kind of sweet and just a hint of vanilla, he passed the thought off as soon as it entered his limited functioning brain.
When they finally broke for air… he heard a mumbling on his shirt front where her head had come to rest, "you really did save the best for last" all he could do is smile.
"Sarah, have you been eating ice cream?"
