| Sully was having a hard time getting the door to go back on the hinges. Mostly because he was staring at Michaela. He was about to hammer the last hinge into place but as the hammer was coming down he glanced at Michaela and instead of hammering the hinge into place, he hit his finger. Michaela had just finished cleaning the desk when she heard a loud yelp. She turned in the direction of the yelp and saw Sully rubbing his finger.
�Sully, are you alright?� she asked heading over to him. �I think so.� �Here, let me take a look at it.� She said reaching out for his hand. When Michaela looked at his hand she saw his finger was bleeding. �I�ll be right back.� She said as she went to grab her medical supplies. Sully meanwhile cleaned his finger as best as he could. When Michaela came back, she cleaned the wound up and dressed it. �There you are, good as new.� �Thank you.� Sully said still holding on to Mihaela�s hand. He looked into her eyes and was hypnotized by their beauty. Michaela was also mesmorized by Sully�s piercing blue eyes. They stayed like that for a while and then unconsciously they started to move in. His lips were so close to hers that she could feel his breath on them, and just as they were about to touch her stomach rumbled. Michaela pulled back feeling her face get hotter, �I�m sorry.� She said placing her hands over her stomach. �Don�t be, I thought it was cute� Sully said letting out a soft chuckle. Michaela smiled and looked down, �Would you like to stay for supper?� �I�d like that.� Sully responded smiling at her. He couldn�t believe the way he felt when he was around her. He wasn�t one to be nervous around women, but for some reason every time he was near Michaela his confidence seemed to disappear. �What would you like for supper?� Michaela asked heading towards the kitchen. �Whatever you have is fine with me.� As Michaela was preparing dinner, she remembered the about the letter she found and decided to ask Sully more about his great great grandparents. �Sully?� �Yeah?� �Will you tell me more about your great great grandparents?� �What would you like to know?� Sully asked as he helped Michaela chop some vegetables. �Anything you�d like to tell me.� �Well, my great great grandmother was Michaela Quinn, Dr. Michaela Quinn to be exact. She grew up in Boston and moved here where she met my great great grandfather. When my great great grandmother was looking for a place to stay, she met a lady named Charlotte who had three kids. My grandmother and her became friends and then Charlotte got bit by a rattlesnake one day. Back then they couldn�t treat it, and she eventually died, but before she did she asked my grandmother to take her kids in. Then my great grandmother and great greatgrandfather started spending more time with each other and realized they had fallen in love. They got married and had a little girl, my great grandmother, Katie.� �They sound like they were fascinating people.� Michaela said as she put the finishing touches on the meal. �From what I understand, they were. They were always looking for ways to help people.� When supper was over, Sully helped Michaela clean the kitchen and then said he was going to head hom so that Michaela could get some rest. As he was walking out the door, he turned to her and said,� I think I�m going to start calling you what my great great grandfather called my great great grandmother according to my great grandmother.� �What was that?� Michaela asked walking him to the door. �Dr. Mike� Sully said kissing her on the cheek �Goodnight, Dr. Mike.� And with that he left Michaela shut the door behind him and leaned against the it. �Dr. Mike� she sighed rubbing her cheek. As the days passed Dawn, Ashleigh, Anne, and Dorothy noticed the change in Sully. �I wonder if he�s told her about Abigail.� Anne asked them 8 |
