| He was standing by a telegraph office and noticed a carriage come into town. His heart was beating fast. Would she be on? His heart beat faster and faster as the carriage came closer and stopped. What would she say when she saw him? His gaze was locked on the carriage. Then finally the door opened. Three children stepped out. He couldn�t get a good look at them because the sun was blinding him. The last person stepped out. All he could see was a shadow, but he knew it was her. His heart beat faster and his mouth got dry.
�Sully?� �Sully, are you alright?� Sully woke up to see his mom�s worried look. Then he realized how fast his heart was beating and that he was sweating again. �I�m alright. I just had a bad dream.� Sully gave his mom a reassuring smile and gazed out the window. Chapter 4 Sully stared out the window for a long time trying to figure out why he kept having these dreams. It�s not like he had been having these dreams for a long time. They had started only a couple days ago. �Sully are you sure you�re alright?� Sully came out of his daze and smiled at his mom. �Yeah mom I�m fine. I think I just need to get some fresh air. I�ll be back in a bit o.k. ?� Sully placed a light kiss on his mom�s cheek and walked out of the room. �Thank you for lunch Dorothy.� Michaela and Dorothy were heading back to the hospital. Dorothy knew something was wrong with Michaela because she was unusually quiet. �Michaela, if something was bothering you�d tell me right?� Dorothy grabbed Michaela�s arm to get her to stop and face her. Michaela sighed, took a deep breath and said, �Dorothy the thing is that something has been on my mind lately. Problem is I don�t know if it�s real or not. There�s also something else.� Michaela could feel her heart start to flutter as she spoke again. �Do you remember that man that helped me the other day with my horse? Well, his mom is in the hospital and he�s been keeping her company.� �There�s nothing wrong with that is there Michaela?� �Well, no it�s just that there�s something about him. Something strange, but wonderful; something I can�t quite figure out.� �Well Michaela just give it some time. Knowing you you�ll figure it out in a short time.� Dorothy smiled at her friend, and they walked towards the door. Michaela was a couple of steps ahead of Dorothy and when she reached the door Dorothy told her she had to leave and take care of some errands. Michaela was turning around to open the door when she heard Dorothy yell �Michaela watch out!� She didn�t have time to stop and ran right into Sully who almost knocked her down. Sully grabbed Michaela�s arms to keep her from falling and as he pulled her up their lips met for a brief second.� Michaela�s heart was beating pounding and she couldn�t catch her breath. �I�m sorry. I didn�t see you there are you o.k?� She just stood there without saying a word looking into Sully�s eyes. She felt like her knees were going to give out any second, and she felt tingly all over. �Michaela are you alright?� Dorothy asked as she reached her friend. �Oh um� Dorothy this is Sully. Sully this is my friend Dorothy.� Dorothy felt like she knew this man, but couldn�t figure out where from. �Nice to meet you Mr. Sully.� �Please call me Sully, and it�s nice to meet you too.� �I�ll see you tonight then Michaela? I have to get going now. Nice meeting you again Sully.� Dorothy gave her friend a quick smile and left. �I think you can let go of me now.� Michaela turned to Sully who hadn�t noticed he was still holding her arms. �Oh um�right� Sully cleared his throat and opened the door for her. Michaela dropped her things off at her office and went on her rounds. �So Katherine how are feeling?� Michaela asked checking her chart. �Fine Dr. Mike, but I�d be feeling better if I could go home soon.� Michaela smiled put the chart down and said, �Well you should be feeling better very soon then. You can go home tomorrow.� |
