Harm nodded. He knew Bud would do anything for little AJ. He also knew that AJ would always have his godfather and godmother if his father wasn�t enough support. �I� don�t really want to talk about this, if that�s aright, Meg,� Harm said as he closed the back of the car where he�d set Meg�s belongings down.
�Okay,� Meg said. She caught Harm by the arm before he could go around to the driver�s side of the SUV. �Just, when you are ready to talk? I�m here. Any time; day or night.�
�I know,� Harm said, dropping a kiss on the top of her head and hugging her briefly before moving once again to get in the car. Mac, Meg, the Admiral, Bud, his mother, and his Grandma Sarah were the only people that Harm knew he could always count on, no matter what. They had never let him down, and he knew they never would.
Meg waited until Harm had gotten them out of the horror known as Dulles airport�s parking �arena� before she spoke again. �This might be totally inappropriate, and if it is, just tell me, okay?�
�What?� Harm asked, immediately concerned. Not much made Meg Austin uncomfortable. Other than their first case together when they were in a submarine the only time he had really seen her act nervously was when she was trying to figure out the code to disarm a bomb while he drove up a mountain road and Kate Pike argued with her about what the correct code for the forms for visiting officers was.
�I just� I know these aren�t the best of circumstances, but it�s really good to see you again, Harm,� Meg said with a shy smile.
Harm smiled back, a full-fledged Flyboy smile. �It�s really good to see you, too, Meg,� he replied honestly. �Circumstances notwithstanding.�
