| Michaela made her way through the woods as fast as she could. �What was wrong with him?� He had never been one to ask for help, but she couldn�t figure out why he didn�t tell her about his headaches. She made her way to his lean-to and heard a dog whimper. When she got closer she saw that it wasn�t a dog, but a wolf that was whimpering and laying on the ground clutching his head was Sully. She picked up her pace and knelt down beside him making him rest his head on her lap while she stroked his hair.
He was in so much pain. She tried giving him so tea that was supposed to help with the pain. But it didn�t work. She tried keeping his head cool and rubbing his temples, but nothing was working. Night came and she told him to get some rest maybe that would help. He tried sleeping, but the pain was just too much. She woke up and tried to calm the pain, but decided that next day he should try a sweat lodge. The next day they made a sweat lodge and she waited outside while Sully tried to heal. He had been in there for about ten minutes when she heard him yell her name. She ran inside to see what was the matter. �You�re here?� �It�s really you?� Sully sat up and reached out to her making sure she was really there. �Yes.� �Where did you go?� Michaela was confused. �I�ve been outside.� �You�re not going anywhere? �No� What was wrong with him? Why did he think she was going to leave him? �I need to be with you.� �I want to be with you.� Michaela didn�t speak she just sat there in front of him trying to figure out what was going on. �I will love you all my days. Will you marry me?� She looked in his eyes and all she could see was love. That was all she needed to see. She loved this man and wanted to marry him. �Sully, yes.� Sully smiled at her and took her hands in his. He loved this woman. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. The kiss was a passionate one. Michaela put her arms around his neck and held him as close as she could. Sully did the same deepening the kiss even more. Chapter 14 The warm sunrays coming through the window woke Michaela up. The dream was still fresh in her mind, and she couldn�t help but replay those magical words over and over again. �Will you marry me?� A wide grin spread across her face. She looked over at the table where the beautiful roses were and her heart fluttered. Last night had been the most romantic night of her life. She had dated men before, but not once had she felt the way she feels when she�s with Sully. She looked over at her clock and when she noticed what time it was she decided to get up and face the day. Michaela had just finished her morning rounds and was heading to her office. She rounded the corner and picked up the pace when she saw Dorothy waiting for her. �Hi Dorothy, sorry I�m running a little late.� Dorothy smiled and said, �Don�t worry Michaela. Truth is I just got here a couple of seconds ago myself.� Dorothy followed Michaela into her office so that she could put down her files and grab her things before going to lunch. They went to their usual restaurant and were waiting for their food to arrive. Dorothy saw something different about Michaela. She seemed happier, and for the first time in a long time she noticed her hair was down. �Michaela, what happened to you the other day after you went for a walk with Sully.� Michaela instantly smiled at the mention of Sully�s name. Dorothy picked up on it immediately but she didn�t say anything. |
