After the execution, everyone expected Harmony and Jensen to become closer than they already were, however that wasn't the case. As time went by, Harmony began pushing everyone away, with the exception of Justice, who tried everything she could to bring Harmony and her father back together, with no success.

Jensen, for his part, threw himself onto the Kingdom's affairs, not fully grieving the loss of his child. He never stopped trying to get back to Harmony, no matter how hard she tried to push him away, but every time she would, it felt like she was stabbing him straight through his heart.

It has now been two months since the attack, and Harmony is walking out of the physician's ward, with the knowledge that she and Jensen can start to try again. Her heart almost stopped when the physician gave her the news, and she now knows what she needs to do.

As she walks through the large corridors, headed for Jensen's study, Harmony knows she hasn't been fair to Jensen in the last couple of months. She has pushed him away, afraid that he would blame her for what had happened, and she hadn't been ready to deal with that. But as time went by, she had wanted to reach out, to pull him close again, but by then too much time had passed and she wasn't sure how he would react, or if he even wanted it to happen.

Now, knowing that they can try again, Harmony thinks that maybe this is a way for them to reconnect, to go back to what they had, or perhaps something better. She is prepared to apologize to him for her behavior in the last couple of months and to show him she is ready to fight for him and their relationship.

Harmony sees the door to Jensen's study, the two guards that keep unwanted visits away standing in front of it, and takes a deep breath, hoping that he will be willing to fight just as much as she is.

She gives a small smile to the guards, but as she's about to place her hand on the handle, one of the guards stops her, telling her that she doesn't want to go inside, a look of sorrow and regret in his eyes. Harmony looks back at him, confused, but goes in nonetheless, a vice now tightly placed around her heart.

What she finds it's not what she was expecting, at all. She sees Jensen sitting in his chair, behind his desk, but instead of facing the table, he is facing the side and his former lover, Lady Teagan Mitchell, straddling him, and they are clearly having the time of their lives.

Harmony now understands why the guard didn't want her to go inside. Swallowing hard, she is about to leave when Jensen turns his head her way and sees her. He immediately stops and calls out her name, Lady Teagan looking back at her when he does and not even having the decency to look ashamed.

Harmony remains composed, her expression and voice cold as ice, simply telling Jensen not to stop on her account, before turning around and leaving. She wishes she had listened to the guard, and never walked through those doors. She walks away as fast and as far away from him as she can, deep down knowing that this is all her fault.

For several weeks after, Jensen tried to talk to her in private, but Harmony refused. Even Donna, at one point, had asked if everything was alright. Harmony lied and told her it was just an argument, but it was clear that the older woman hadn't been convinced by her answer.

She hates that she is pushing him further away, and that he had done that to her, but she has nothing left in her to keep fighting. So, she decided to keep Jensen at arms length, giving up on what was supposed to be her happy ever after.
