Summary: Harm has a very special Christmas gift for Mac...

Spoilers: Everything up to mid-season 8.

Author's note: This is my answer to the fanfic challenge of what Harm's Christmas present for Mac could be. I apologize for any mistakes - I quickly typed it down in an hour after the idea crossed my mind and - of course - had no one to beta-read it for me.

********************************

She was staring at the sheet of paper in her hands, incredulous, stunned, deeply moved, thoroughly shaken. When she had opened her door this morning she had found it lying on the threshold, just like that, in a simple white envelope. The handwriting was unmistakable. But what the letter contained was so utterly unlike its writer that she had read it again and again, until she knew the words by heart.

My dearest Sarah,

I was determined to get the one perfect gift for you this year, to somehow make this 'something' that has been developing between us materialize and hand it to you in a gift box. It turned out to be the hardest task I ever took upon me and I have to admit that I failed completely.

There is not a single object on earth that could possibly encompass all that's on my mind. So I hope you will accept these lines instead. And let me just add one thing: I mean every single word.

Love,
Harm

'SARAH'

S - Smile
Your smile is like the sun, it lights my day,
Makes sorrow flee my path and warms my heart,
It drives away the clouds that shade my way
And lingers in my soul when we're apart.

A - Anima
Your beauty is a mirror to your mind,
So righteous, pure, benign and yet untamed,
Your eyes, they tell me that inside I find
An angel, a protector, joy unnamed.

R - Roses
Your glance is like the spring come back to earth,
A garden full of roses, fragrant, sweet,
I revel in the perfume, in the mirth,
Reminding me where first we came to meet.

A - Alive
Your presence brings completeness to my life
And soothes all the pain and fear I feel,
It wakens all my senses, makes me strive
For nobler aims, for causes good and real.

H - Heart
My heart is in your hands, to you I give
Myself completely, making my sublime,
My deepest wish, as long as I shall live:
To have and hold you, now and for all time.

"You shall, Harm," she whispered, smiling through her silent tears of joy.
