I am arguing a court case against Harm over the death of Petty Officer Mark Harridan while on a mission aboard ship. I am arguing for the prosecution and have argued the position that he died as the result of an accident during a friendly fire exercise. This case is proving to be very awkward between Harm and I. This morning as we were changing during questioning of a witness we walked into one another almost so that we had to sidestep and brush against one another. It was a little unnerving.
I quickly found myself losing my temper this morning and I wasn't exactly sure why. I actually snapped at Harm in court to be patient and not object as to where my line of questioning was going. It seemed like everything he said and everything he did was getting to me. We've been getting along so well since we were partnered together I don't understand what has changed.

Harm actually tried to psyche me out over the ballistics report. I can't believe the nerve of that sailor. Is that what I'm supposed to expect from him? It feels like he's fighting dirty. I don't like it at all. It's driving a wedge between us. Maybe his days of being friendly to me while I adjusted are over. I even decided to pretend to shoot him while exploring the ricochet theory that Commander Rabb wrongly led me down the path to. I felt so embarrassed and disappointed in myself while angry at him. How had I actually let myself come to trust him so quickly? Which was the real Commander Rabb?

Later, while questioning my client he said that he had heard that I was the best after Commander Rabb. Second best? Is that really what they think? Is that what junior partner means-second best?

I had to actually red light Commander Rabb! He told me that there was nothing sexual about what he said. 'you don't want to be in my dreams' sounded pretty sexual to me. We are so very far apart now. I can't even read him or understand him. It's like he's been replaced by a totally different person.

Harm shot a gun off in court! I can't believe he shot a gun off in the courtroom. The admiral came down hard on him and I don't blame him. He was way out of line. I'll admit it only here that it scared me for a moment.
~*~*~*~*~*
In the end, Harm and I have gotten back together. I was really worried but with the trial behind us we seem to back on even footing. I brought a peace offering of couscous and arugula salad for Harm and a Beltway burger for me. He's refinishing his apartment and I think it's going to look very nice. We ate in his bedroom and he consoled my spirits. I still am not sure what to make of him.
