The end of 2019 was fast approaching, and for Harry, the year had been full of twists and turns, both personal and professional. The intensity of missions around the world had kept him busy, but the budding relationship with Kensi had also brought a new dynamic to his life. Between high-stress operations and brief moments of tranquility, he felt that 2019 had been a year of great transformation.
Back in London, in the last weeks of December, Harry finally had the chance to breathe and reflect on everything that had happened. In the office of his mansion, he watched the soft glow of the Christmas lights decorating the city through the large windows. The fireplace in the background warmed the room as he reviewed mission reports and prepared his team for what would come in 2020.
The atmosphere was calm, but Harry knew that calm never lasted long. He was ready for whatever the next year brought. As he sorted through his files and awards, he remembered the significant moments of 2019: from his missions in Moscow and the Sahel to his reconnection with royalty and his unexpected connection with Kensi. Each of these moments shaped his life in ways he couldn't have imagined.
In one of these rare moments of peace, Harry received a video call. It was Kensi, who had just returned from a mission in Los Angeles.
"Hi, Harry. How are you?" she asked, smiling as she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Tired, but fine. Things are quiet around here for now. What about you? Did you survive another mission?" he joked.
Kensi laughed and replied in her easygoing tone:
"Always. I'm starting to think you brought a bit of your luck to me."
They talked about their missions, swapping stories and jokes, as they had for months. Even though they were separated by an ocean, the connection between them grew stronger every day. Harry felt that somehow the distance didn't weaken their bond, and each time they spoke, it felt more natural.
As they talked, Kensi mentioned her plans for the end of the year.
"I'm thinking about taking a few days off for the holidays. What about you? Any big missions to close out the year?" she asked.
"Not really. Things are pretty quiet at the moment, which is unusual, but I'm not complaining. I'm thinking about spending Christmas here in London. Maybe visiting William and Kate," Harry replied casually.
"Oh, sure, just spending Christmas with the royal family. Nothing big," Kensi replied, laughing.
Harry smiled, loving the way Kensi always joked about her connection to the royals. They talked a little more about what they hoped for in the coming year, and before they hung up, Kensi suggested:
"Maybe we could spend some time together next year? Maybe you could come to Los Angeles or I could go back to London?"
"I'd like that, Kensi. Let's make it happen." — Harry replied sincerely.
After they said their goodbyes, Harry was left thinking. The year was truly coming to an end, and for the first time in a long time, he felt optimistic about what was to come.
On New Year's Eve, Harry decided to spend the night with his SAS team. Although they were elite, combat-hardened operators, everyone was relaxed that night, laughing and sharing stories. To them, Harry was not just "Ghost," the living legend of the SAS; he was a trusted leader, a friend, and someone they could all rely on.
As midnight approached, Harry raised a glass in a toast.
"To 2019, a year of challenges and victories. May 2020 bring us more achievements, and may we continue to make a difference in the world. Cheers!" he said.
The team toasted, and for a brief moment, everyone let go of their worries and responsibilities. They were ready for whatever the new year would bring, knowing that under Harry's leadership, they would face any obstacle with determination and skill.
As fireworks lit up the London sky, Harry looked to the future with a renewed sense of purpose. He knew that the coming year would bring new missions, challenges, and perhaps even more unexpected moments with Kensi. And, as always, he was prepared for whatever came.
The year 2019 ended with Harry at peace with himself, but ready to move forward, always looking for the next mission and the next adventure.
