| �Well, we were walking and we came to this beautiful spot. There were wild flowers everywhere and the birds were chirping. It was the most beautiful place I�ve seen. Then we started to head back and that�s when the storm hit. So we found a cave and decided to wait out the storm there.�
Dorothy knew there was something else, but she didn�t want to press her friend for information. �Dorothy, remember the dreams I told you I�ve been having?� �You mean the ones where you�re in Boston?� �Yes, well I�ve had a couple more since then. Only this time I wasn�t in Boston, but Colorado Springs.� Dorothy�s eyes grew wide and she listened intently to everything Michaela was saying. Michaela told her about the dream where she received a sign for her birthday and a kiss from Sully. After she finished telling her about that dream she told her about the dream where Sully proposed to her. Dorothy shifted in her seat. She was soaking in everything Michaela was saying. She couldn�t believe how much her dreams coincided with the story Katherine had told her. She also couldn�t help but notice the way Michaela blushed every time she said Sully�s name out loud. �Michaela, did something else happen out in the woods?� �What do you mean?� Michaela looked at the floor trying to avoid Dorothy�s eyes. �Well, every time you say Sully�s name your face lights up.� �Oh. Well, I need to tell someone�he kissed me!!!� �Oh Michaela that wonderful!!!� �How did it happen?� �When we were walking through the woods I stopped and asked him if he thought it was beautiful. When I turned to look at him I saw he was staring at me and he answered saying, �Yes it is� then he kissed me.� Dorothy was so glad to see her friend happy. �Do you want to know something else? When we were sleeping in the cave we slept holding each other to keep warm. I felt so safe and being in his arms felt so right. I woke up and looked at him and he was smiling in his sleep.� �The next morning when I asked him what he�d been dreaming about he said he�d been dreaming about being stuck in the woods in a lean-to with me.� This caught Dorothy�s attention. It seemed that Michaela wasn�t the only one having these dreams. She was going to tell Michaela about the legend and how her dreams seemed to fit, but Katherine�s words came to her �Only thing we can do is wait.� . Michaela headed back to the hospital after lunch and began updating some files. Luckily things were slow today and that meant she could sneak out a little early. She wanted to do something for Sully, something just as romantic as what he�d done for her. But how was she ever going to top the roses and the picnic? Chapter 15 She decided that she was going to need a little help with this. She had told him what she liked but he hadn�t told her anything. She was going to have to call Katherine. After all who would know Sully better than his mother? She called Katherine and told her what her plans were. Katherine didn�t press her for any details and told her everything she wanted to know. Sully was getting ready to leave work when his phone beeped. He looked down at it and saw he had received a message. �I would like you to join me for dinner tonight if you don�t have any plans already-Michaela.� How could he pass up an opportunity to see her? He quickly sent her a reply. He�d been thinking about her all day today. He hurried home so that he could clean up and get ready for his date. Michaela was at home busy making meat loaf, and mashed potatoes. Katherine had told her that his favorite desert was pudding. Michaela didn�t want to make the pudding ahead of time because she hated the skin that formed over it when it. So she decided she was going to get Sully to help her make it when the time came. She had asked Sully to be there around 8 that way she could have time to get dinner ready and get dressed. She chose a powder blue dress that hung off the shoulders and instead of putting her hair up she left it down. She had a feeling that Sully liked her hair better down anyway. She had just finished getting dressed when she heard her doorbell ring. Her heart began to race and she got nervous. She had never cooked for anyone else before and she wasn�t sure how it would all turn out. When she opened the door she saw Sully and he was holding a box of chocolates. �Thank you! Please come in.� Michaela rose to her toes and gave him a quick peck. |
