The bullpen was empty when Lt. Colonel Sarah Mackenzie made her way to her office. It was still early and she didn't expect anyone to be there. She had had trouble sleeping and decided that she might as well get something done. Walking into her office she flipped the light switch and continued on walking when she noticed something sitting on her desk. It was an envelope with her name written on it. It was typed so it was impossible to know from the hand writing who had left it, but she knew and was almost afraid to open it. He had to have left it there after she had left the day before. She slowly put her breifcase on the floor and sat down in her chair. Suddenly she was glad she had come in early. She finally decided she wanted to know what was inside the envelope and reached for it. She hesitated a moment longer before opening it, finding a pink coloured card decorated with roses. Inside she found a poem.

I think this all started in the Rose Garden that day,

when you came into my life I didn't know what to say.
I will admit that she was what I saw,

But when I saw your smile, my walls began to thaw.

During all our years you've helped me through the worst,

and at the same time, in my life you became what came first.

No matter the situation, you held my back and I held yours,

knowing that we would keep each other safe with all possible force.

You tried to tell me you wanted me for me
and I turned you down because I could not see.
Then I tried to right my right my wrong, and make us fly
but then you had moved on, it was too late to try.

I have now decided to give us a second chance,
to no longer waste our lives in this stupid dance.
My heart I give, and hope you feel the same way too.

This time nothing can stop me from saying 'I love You'.

Mac felt the tears fill her eyes but she didn't even try to blink them away. She re-read the poem and stood up moving towards the door of her office. She intended to go to the ladies room, but saw movement coming from his office, even though it was completely dark. Maybe he hadn't put it there yesterday after all. She made her way over there and found him sitting in his chair, waiting for her. For a long time they just stood there looking at each other, then he moved towards her and pulled her closer so he could kiss her. They stood that way for what seemed like an eternity. Finally they broke the kiss to get some air. He looked her in the eye.
"So... You like your present?" he asked.
"The best one ever... But I didn't get you anything..."
"Yes you did. That kiss was amazing."
"That it was. Want to try again?"
He didn't bother to answer. Instead he pulled her closer again. But before he could continue what he had planned she stopped him.
"And Harm..."
"Yeah?"

"I love you too..."
