"Harm, haven't you said something about some tea?"

"Sure, I did." He said with a smile and stood up. Heading for the kitchen when Mac called him back.

"Harm..."

Harm stepped back and turned his head. "Yes?"

"…Thanks for still being my friend. I know things haven't been easy for you lately. And I'm sorry for what Sadik did to you." She said with a little voice.

"It's okay, Mac, you don't have to be sorry for what he did. We knew, he would do something and you had a rough time. He wanted to get you. Sadik was playing a game with us. And he almost succeeded…"

"I know, but still, I'm sorry for what happened. You should have been getting involved into this mess. It all happened because of some bad choices I made. I've been wrong, and I'm sorry it took me such a long time to find it out."

Harm looked at her, his gaze puzzled. He wasn't sure of what she was trying to say. He waited a few seconds before he went he the kitchen to get two cups, took two lime green thee bags placed them into the cups, and poured hot water on them. Coming back to Mac he handed her one of the steaming cups. "Careful, it's hot."

"Thanks." She said in a low voice.

Mac was holding the cup of thee in her two hands, like she was willing to warm herself up a little bit. Harm sat down into the couch in front of her and took a sip of his hot thee. Looking up at her his gaze saddened again. Sarah was staring at the cup Harm had given her. He was sure that there was something wrong. But what? Was she really happy or what it only something she wanted everyone to believe?

New questions. No answers. He was about to say something, but Mac's soft voice stop him from doing so.

"Harm…" She began softly.

Harm's heart missed a beat. She had said his name so softly that he'd felt himself melt inside. Even now, after all had happened between them, Sarah Mackenzie still had this power on him. He heart tore when he saw a single tear rolling down her cheek.

"… Could you hold me, please?" She murmured.

Harm leaned forward to be able to put his cup of thee on the table before standing up and stepping in Mac's direction. Harm came to sit next to her and holds her tight into his arms. Mac cuddled herself closer to him and closed her eyes, silent tears tracing their ways down her cheeks. Harm just tightened his embrace and let her cry without saying anything. Slowly he places his chin on her hair and rocks her a little, like a father would've consoled his daughter.
