Mac and Harm had to be standing under the perfect spot at that moment. Or the not-so-perfect spot, depending on one’s perspective. The mistletoe hung innocently above them. “Awkward moment number 310,” Mac said just before Harm’s lips captured hers in a kiss. ‘Leave it to you to remember the exact number of awkward moments with Harm,’ she thought to herself with a small smile. Harm was doing some thinking of his own, and it had nothing to do with the number of awkward moments between himself and Mac. ‘I wonder what would happen if I kept this kiss up just a bit longer,’ he thought. At that moment, Mac pulled away. “Wow!” Chloe said under her breath. “ I thought maybe the petty officer and I could stay here, at least for the night? All the brigs are closed, and I figured my partner wouldn’t mind if I stopped by,” Harm stated as he tried to clear his thoughts of the kiss. “Sure, you’re both welcome to stay.” “Thanks, Mac. You’re a good friend,” he replied with a flyboy grin. “You’re welcome, Harm. You’re not so bad yourself.” The End. . .maybe??
