Subject: Light of My Heart, conclusion!

As Mac entered the living room, she noticed that Jen must have put on the Christmas tree and mantle twinkle lights. Something glittering under the tree, caught Mac’s eye.

Mac, “I’ll let you know in a minute, Jen.”

Mac knelt by the tree and fetched a big wrapped present that had Harm’s new red-beaded and sequined bow tie attached on top of it with a sealed note with 'Sara' written on the envelope. Next to the bow tie and the envelope was the little poetry book opened to the poem with a small post-it note highlighting the stanza of the poem that Harm had read that night of the accident. Mac opened the envelope and lovingly fingered the sparkling bow tie, as she read the note...

‘My Dear Marine,

I didn’t forget this. It’s a sign, Mac. We match perfectly – we’re meant to be together, this New Year’s Eve and every new year, thereafter, -- forever. Open your present – you’ll see what I mean. I know you’re on the fence about coming to the Willard with me -- I saw it in your eyes and felt it in your tentative handshake. Mac, we’ve been a part of each other’s circles in more ways than we could both ever imagine. It’s been a *good* way to live, for me, at least. – all these years with you. But we can go on, endlessly, as we do – unless one of us makes a stand. So, here I am. I want *more*, Mac. I *know* it could be a *great* way to live – together -- for the years we have remaining – till death do us part and all that (?!!). Do you *now* understand? We’re better -- *together*. We’ll figure it all out, Mac – I promise – work, careers, babies, family, life. You’re the light of my heart. I want you in my life, as my best friend, but, also, in every way that a man wants a desirable woman. I *want* you. Come to me, Mac. Come to the ball. I’ll be the guy dressed like a Nutcracker. I’ll be waiting for the magic of *your* dazzling presence, wearing this -- my gift to you. I hope you like it. My princess, my Sara...Come to me. I’ll be waiting – for you – only for you.

All my love. I love you.
Harm’

Mac looked up, holding the bow tie – caressing it, with tears in her eyes – happy tears—amazing tears. She looked up at Jen, who just sat patiently, waiting for Mac – just as she had promised the Commander she would do. She then looked down and opened up her large present from Harm. She ripped open the paper and gently parted the fine tissue paper to reveal the most amazing red, soft jersey cocktail dress she had ever seen! It had tiny red beads, red sparkling crystals, and sequins adorning it in all the right places and it had a drop cowl neckline with off-the-shoulder sleeves. It matched the red bow tie that she had given Harm absolutely *perfectly*! Jen and Mac looked for a few seconds in awe at this expensive, exquisite garment.

Mac suddenly blurted out, “Jen – what time is it?”

‘Hmmnn’, Jen thought as she knowingly grinned, ‘the Colonel never has to ask what the time is’. “It’s 2218, Ma’am, and I really *do* need to get going if I’m going to make it to my place in time for my friends. Why?”

Mac, “Jen, There’s some place I need to be – somewhere I *need* to go!”

Jen, smiling broadly, stood up “Yes, Ma’am!! I understand. You go girl!! All you need are matching earrings – if *that*, Ma’am! With your hair cascading around you and a beautiful pair of black shoes – maybe a black coat, you’re set!!Go on, go get dressed. I’ll wait!!”

Mac clutched the dress and quickly found her red-crystal one-drop earrings. She let her hair drop loose and wavy and put on just a dab of mascara and red lip gloss. She had black patent leather luxury shoes with 4 inch heels that fit her like a glove. She found the matching bag. The dress looked classy, and elegant, but sexy – especially as she could only wear a one-piece strapless nude-colored corset bra with it as the neckline dipped dangerously low. In a way, it was good that the dress draped her body just to above-the-knee, as she could balance revealing her curvy bustline with her long, luscious legs. She looked and felt incredibly sensual, but she knew that only Harm’s eyes would see her ‘assets’, so she dared go with it! Jen gave her two thumbs up!
Mac donned her long, black cashmere coat with the faux fur collar. She hadn’t worn this coat in a long time – she always loved it! She put her black leather gloves on, She tenderly placed the red bow tie in her bag, along with her purse, her lipstick, and the little poetry book and was ready to go!!

Mac, “Jen, do you think I’ll make it? How will I ever get a taxi? They’re probably all booked!!!!”

They both then looked at each other and screamed, in unison, “Operation Designated Driver!!” They laughed. Jen called the number for ODD and the driver was there in 15 minutes. The women hugged and Jen wished Mac a very very Happy New Year. As they both entered their cars, there was one thing they both were certain of: It would, indeed, be a FABULOUS New Year!


New Year’s Eve Ball
The Willard Hotel, Washington, D.C.
Friday night, December 31st 2004
2338

Mac quickly tipped the driver and wished him a Happy New Year. She hurriedly clicked up the steps and into the hotel, frantically searching for the ballroom. She didn’t even take time to check her coat, too afraid she wouldn’t find him in time. It was unbelievably crowded and people, as high-brow as they may have looked or were, were yelling, squealing, cavorting, and basically making merry and having a good old time. But she needed to find him – to look into his eyes – to recite poetry—to hug him—to kiss him—to wish him a Happy New year—to love him—to start loving him *before* THIS year ended – she didn’t want to wait *another* year!

There were other military men there – dressed in their dress whites and blues and greens. She only knew he would be in his Mess Dress uniform! She now became frenetic – she knew it was nearing the new year deadline -- finally, -- she spotted him! People weaved in and out as she made her way. How could she have missed *him* -- he stood tall and proud and oh so fine -- a head above all the rest. She was still quite far from him as she noted that women were all scampering around him, like desperate little mice --a blonde here, a redhead there, and yet another blonde over yonder trying their flirty best to chat him up. He politely declined all their attentions. Even the ‘Queen Rat’ – Professor Montes – struck out! He seemed pre-occupied himself – seemed to be searching, too.

She called out to him, “HARM!!” She kept walking – doggedly just kept walking – her coat flapping open and closed while one shoulder slipped off to her delicate elbow. She clutched her bag tightly to keep from losing her focus. And then he spotted *her*!

Their eyes locked. He straightened up even more than he already was and seemed to lift up his head a notch even higher, if that was at all possible. She stopped right in front of him. He set his drink on the ledge of a pillar and took her hand.

Harm, looking intently into her gold-flicked chocolate eyes, rasped, “You came.”

Mac, accepting his hand with a silky caress, looked lovingly into his hopeful green-blue depths “I came.” She then took both his hands *firmly* into both of her hands and pleadingly uttered:

“‘They say the head can be fooled,
But the heart cannot turn without
the body. This makes me think of you
digging your way through your long life,
lighting everything with your heart.’*

That’s the stanza that lies *on top* of the one you chose”


They quietly laughed together.

Mac sensually whispered “Thank you for this beautiful dress” She opened her coat to show him. “It *is* perfect!” And, she then, removed his black bow tie, replacing it with the red bow tie, as she purred, “You light *my* heart, sailor. I'm yours, Harm. I love you.”

Harm tenderly, but firmly pulled her flush to his body. He looked her up and down, appreciating every curve of her voluptuous breasts, every velvet touch of her neck, her sculpted arms, her sexy legs, her soft shoulders, her skin everywhere! He inhaled with great pleasure the clean, alluring mesmerizing scent of her. He looked into her eyes with such intensity, it took *her* breath away!

At once, although they were barely paying attention, as they gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes, while just barely touching their lips together, they heard shouts of:

“FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE…..HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!” And he took her in his big strong muscular arms as she molded her body perfectly to his. He kissed her with nine years of pent up passion and love and a lifetime more of many many new years yet to come – together – just like they had always intended – just like they had always planned!

The End!
