Mmm I love this! I've been rewatching the season from on demand and I think the timing was perfect for this fic. When Jessica asks him on the stand how he can be so damaged to believe that caring makes you weak, it made me realize that Harvey would never admit to loving Donna even to himself. Oh he trusts Donna and Jessica, he take care of and defends them in his own broken way, but straight out tell them what they mean to him - he learned far too well from his mother never to be that vulnerable. And Zoe was smart enough to know that he would never be capable of that trust with her. Hartman's comment that it will be Harvey in ten years after Jessica's job really said more about Hardman than Jessica - he may screw around and disappoint her, but he's always going to be defending her in the end, because she gave him everything, just like Donna rescued him from Cameron and gave him a reason and a way to escape losing his soul and integrity.
