| A couple of months had passed and the relationship between Sully and Michaela was thriving. They were growing closer and closer each day. There were even times when all they had to do was look at each other and know exactly what the other was thinking. Katherine couldn�t be happier for her son. She�d never seen him this happy before. Every time he was near Michaela or talking about her his face beamed.
Dorothy felt the same way. She had never seen Michaela so happy. She no longer worked long hours at the hospital and was even finding time to enjoy life. Michaela was still having dreams, and she often shared them with Dorothy. Dorothy was certain now that the dreams coincided with the legend, and she wondered when she should tell Michaela. Chapter 18 Michaela and Dorothy were having lunch and the conversation was about another one of Michaela�s dreams. Dorothy was bending over the table hanging on to every word. She shifted in her seat as Michaela continued. �I was sitting on a blanket on the floor, and Sully was working on a headboard he was making for our bed. He said it was my wedding present.� �I had asked him if he was sure he didn�t want to go with the Indians because they had been his family. He came over to the blanket and sat down next to me. He cupped my cheek and said, �When are you going to understand? My heart�s your now.� Then we kissed, and that�s when I woke up.� �Oh Michaela that was such a lovely dream.� Dorothy was certain now, but she decided she would wait a while longer to tell Michaela and give her a chance to figure it out herself. They finished their lunch and headed back towards the hospital. As they were heading towards the door they saw Sully. Michaela�s face immediately lit up and she ran into Sully�s arms. �I missed you.� Sully kissed the top of her head and said, �I missed you more.� He looked over to where she had been standing and saw Dorothy. �Hello Dorothy. It�s nice to see you.� �Hey Sully.� Dorothy smiled as she saw the two of them together. Anyone who walked by could tell they were deeply in love. �I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me tonight?� �I�d love to.� �Good , I�ll pick you up at 8.� �That sounds fine. Well, I have to get back.� Sully gave her a quick hug and a kissed the top of her head before she headed off. Then he turned to Dorothy. �Dorothy can I talk to you for a second?� �Sure Sully.� She made her way to where he was. �What is it?� �Not here, come on let�s go for a walk.� �Sully is everything o.k?� Dorothy was a little confused at the way Sully was acting. Sully looked at her with a gleam in his eyes and a huge smile. �Everything is more than o.k. Dorothy. As a matter of fact everything is perfect. I need to ask you for a favor.� �Sure Sully whatever you need.� Dorothy couldn�t help but smile. She didn�t know what Sully was up to, but she knew it had to be big to have him acting this way. �I was hoping you would say that. Here�s what I need you to do.� Sully and Dorothy walked long enough for Sully to fill her in on his plan. Wanting everything to be perfect he went over every detail. After he had told her everything they agreed to meet before he was supposed to pick Michaela up for their date. Dorothy spend the rest of the afternoon making stops to several different flower shops, and a few other stores Sully had asked her to go to. She didn�t have very much time to do everything Sully wanted, but she was so excited that she didn�t mind being in a hurry. Michaela�s day seemed to fly by and before she knew it, it was time for her to head home and get ready for her date with Sully. |
