She’d just married the love of her life six weeks before. Commander Hugo “Animal” Chikamori was the CO of the VF-41 Black Aces. He and Lia had met by accident, literally. Lia never claimed to be very un-clumsy, and her running right into him one morning outside her office door changed both of their lives forever. Mac waved her hand in front of her cousin’s face. “Lia, you okay?” Mac was grinning. So was Liandra “Nah, she’s just daydreaming about her favorite ace again, aren’t you, Lia?” a familiar voice called from the open doorway. “I knew I should have closed the door,” Mac muttered. Lia snorted derisively. “Who, Hammer? You?” Lia mockingly raised an eyebrow at her old flame. “I wouldn’t dare…Mac would kill me with her bare hands first.” Sarah gasped, then threw her cousin an ugly look. Harm caught the glance then decided to leave. “I’ve got a hot case file waiting for me on my desk, ladies. I’ll catch you later.” As soon as Harm left, Mac closed the door and turned around to face Liandra. “What was that for? You trying to embarrass me in front of my partner, Cuz?” Lia shook her head as a new song came on the radio. Noticing it was a favorite of hers, she reached over and turned it up. “No, just trying to get you to own up to the truth, Sarah. You and Harm are two of the most stubborn people I’ve ever known, aside from Animal and me, that is,” Lia conceded with a grin. Mac pulled a chair up to Lia’s desk and considered her cousin’ s words. “Well, ok…maybe I do have some feelings for the dumb Squid,” Mac agreed, and Lia frowned. “What?!?” Mac squealed. “I admitted it, at least a little bit…what more do you want?” Lia giggled. “He’s not dumb, Mac. He loves you, too…even if he’s too chicken to admit it yet.” Mac sighed as she listened to the song coming from the radio on Lia’s desk. “Oh, that much is true.” I must be crazy now Maybe I dream too much But when I think of you I long to feel your touch “Yeah?” Lia grinned. “There’s ways of making that happen, ya know.” “Aw, shut up, will you?” Mac grinned back. “I’m not ready to marry the man…” “Just have his children, huh?” Lia glared knowingly at her cousin. “Well…” Mac drawled. “Oh, hey, that’s true, too.” To whisper in your ear Words that are as old as time Words that only you would hear If only you were mine ************************************************************************************ HARM’S OFFICE “Hey, buddy, what’s going on?” a friendly voice spoke from just inside Harm’s door.
