Posted by Lieutenant Belle Harper (Chief Intelligence Officer) in Side sim - Harris’ Quarters - I’m Back
Lieutenant Belle Harper had strolled quietly through the corridors seemingly on auto-pilot, her mind drifting back to boat decks and piano bars. She had intended to not make her presence known at all unless duty dictated she must. It’s not as though she had any feelings left for the man. Their romance had been passionate but brief. Maybe a long time ago she even loved him. Now, however, she felt nothing.So why did she wind up standing outside his quarters late in the evening? It was as much a shock to herself as it would undoubtedly be to Cal. She activated the chime and immediately regretted it. “This was a mistake,” she said out loud and turned to go.

It was at that moment, Belle heard a voice… that voice… which she hadn’t heard in years. “Excuse me…” Came the surprised tone from the man rounding the corner in Marine sweats. “… can I help…” He froze before her. The man’s blue eyes flashed in surprise… confusion… pain. The man standing before Belle Harper was every bit the man he was when she last saw him yet, different. There was distinct greying of his jet black hair by his temples, his eyes had more noticeable crows feet, and his hair was longer now… a short, wavy style that made him look a little more… grown up. Harris took in all the changes to the woman before him… one of three that he had ever loved… and until this moment, all but one of those women… Harris was absolutely certain… were quite dead. Tears sparkled in the corners of his eyes and the Marine reached out a gentle, trembling hand. As his voice caught in his throat, the very softest tips that hand brushed her cheek as if to see if she were really there… like a ghost. “B–Belle?!”
