Summary: How I think the last few minutes of the episode should have ended.
Courtroom in Florida
�I knew you were right, but I still can�t believe you were right,� Mac smiled.
�We all hate to see a good officer go bad.� Harm watched as the large TV was wheeled out of the courtroom.
�Our transport doesn�t leave until tomorrow morning. Shall we sample some of the local cuisine?� One side of his mouth curling up in a casual partial smile.
�I think that�s an excellent idea. I told Jen we could do some more shopping if she wanted, let me see what her plans are.� Mac turned to the Jury box where Jen was still talking with another woman.
�What more could a man ask for then to be escorted to dinner by two beautiful women.� This time both sides of his mouth curled up in a full blown Rabb smile. Mac rolled her eyes and latched her briefcase shut.
�Excuse me, ma�am,� Jennifer asked, her shoulders straight. �Would you mind terribly if I want out with Ensign Caruthers this evening, she offered to show me some of her favorite haunts.�
�Certainly, Petty Officer. We�ll see you tomorrow morning for the flight home,� Mac nodded. Harm struggled to hide his delight. Even though he thoroughly enjoyed both Mac and Jen�s company, he was especially looking forward to a little warm weather time alone with Mac.
�Well, sailor. It looks like it�s you and me against the world,� Mac chuckled, sliding her briefcase off the table.
Harm shook his head, �Yes, ma�am.�
A few hours later they were walking along the shore, well fed, and content to have a little down time together.
�Sometimes I wonder if being on a base the size of postage stamp is such an awful thing if it means weather like this all year around,� Mac sighed, kicking up the sand as she walked.
�I guess everything situation has its upside and downside.� Harm watched her step closer to the water and stop.
Taking her sandals off and placing them both in one hand. Mac looked over to where Harm was still standing.
�Walk with me?� she asked.
�I thought I was.� Harm tried not to look too confused.
�No, I mean walk with me.� Mac held out her hand to Harm.
Kicking off his own shoes, and taking them in one hand, Harm reached Mac�s side in two short strides. Eagerly, his arm reached out, his hand tightly folding around her smaller proffered hand.
�Gladly,� he smiled. Staying the course, patiently closing the gap.
