| Michaela was so happy that her mother had come around. She didn�t want to admit it to anyone, but her mother�s approval meant everything to her. For the next hour Michaela and her mother talked about the wedding and discussed the preparation that had to be made.
Michaela decided to surprise Sully with a romantic dinner, and thank him for what he�d done. Throughout the rest of her work-day she tried to think of a place where they could be alone. She knew that if they went to her house or his house they would end up running the risk of being interrupted. She wanted tonight to be just them with no interruptions. �Where can I take him? Where can it be just the two of us?� She tried to think of the perfect place, but nothing seemed right. She had given up and had decided to just have dinner at her house. She had left her office and was walking outside when she thought of the perfect place. She hurried to her house and cooked dinner. She got all the things she would need and headed for Sully�s house. She could barely contain her excitement as she drove to his house. She arrived at Sully�s house and rang the doorbell. After a few moment Sully opened the door. �Michaela? What are you doing here?� �I came to kidnap you.� Michaela said as she reached in her pocket, and pulled out a blindfold. Sully smiled at her and chuckled softly. �What if I don�t want to be kidnapped?� �Michaela stood on her toes and gave Sully a passionate kiss. �Well, since you put it that way.� Sully didn�t protest any more and allowed Michaela to put the blindfold on, before she led him to the car. �What�s the occasion?� �I wanted to show the man I love how much I appreciate what he did today.� The drive wasn�t a long one. Michaela got out of the car, grabbed the things she had brought and helped Sully out of the car. Sully put his arm around her and they began to walk. They walked for about twenty minutes before they came to a stop. Sully heard Michaela walk ahead of him telling him to stay put. A short while later she came back and took his blindfold off while she kissed him. As she pulled away she kept her forehead up to his and whispered, �I love you so much Byron Sully.� �And I love you Michaela Quinn.� Sully said as he kissed her forehead. �So what are we doing out in the woods?� �My mother came to see me today and told me I had made an excellent choice.� Sully knew what she was talking about and he smiled. Michaela leaned against him and wrapped her arms around his waist. �Thank you!� �How do you know it was me?� Michaela smiled and took his hand lacing her fingers in his before leading him to his surprise. Chapter 24 �Michaela where are we going?� �You�ll see.� After a couple of minutes they came to a clearing. Michaela stopped and turned to face Sully. �Does this place look familiar?� Sully looked around stroking his chin with his hand. �Sully you do recognize this spot don�t you?� He smiled and wrapped his arms around her. �Michaela do you actually believe I would forget the place we had our first kiss?� Michaela smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist. They held each other and stood still enjoying the beautiful sounds of nature around them. |
