Sully was inside Cloud Dancing's tepee, finishing the shingle he was making for Dr. Mike. It was Christmas morning and he was hoping to visit her and the Cooper children that night. He was lost in thought. He couldn't stop thinking about her. She was in his dreams and on his mind.
"She's quite a character," he thought with a grin.
Never in his life has he met such a headstrong, stubborn, and opinionated woman. He liked that in her. He couldn't believe a civilized woman would ever set foot inside of Hanks Saloon! He also couldn't hide that fact that she was the most beautiful woman he ever saw.
When he first saw he face down in the mud, he knew he was falling in love. He felt an intense feeling toward her, and it scared him because he never felt that before.
"What am I thinkin! I can't fall in love with her! She wouldn't even give me a second glance. And if I give her this Christmas present, she will probably see right threw me. Noticing my feelings toward her," he said, getting ready to throw the shingle in the fire.
"Hello my brother, I have brought you the puppy you asked for. What are you doing?" Cloud Dancing asked when he saw the shingle above the fire.
"I can't do this Cloud Dancin, I feel something for her. I fear that if I give her this gift she will see my true feelings," Sully explained.
"My brother, it has been many moons since you have felt love. Don't fight it. You never know, she might have the same feelings also." Cloud dancing said with a smile and left.
Sully was left there thinking, what if she has feelings towards me? He slowly pulled the shingle away from the fire and finished the carving.
It was around 6 o'clock when Sully decided to head towards the homestead. It was starting to snow and he feared that it might get worse.
"Go now my brother, before the roads are unfit for travel." Cloud Dancing warned.
Sully grabbed his coat and presents and was off.
A half an hour before he got to the homestead the blizzard started. His first thought was to head back but he wanted so much to see Dr. Mike. He long hair all pinned up. He truly wished that she would leave it down more often. Sully thought it was the most beautiful long brown hair he ever saw. So he decided that he would go where he was heading.
Sully reached the door of the homestead. His hand rose up to knock but he stopped. This is the first time in a long time he ever felt nervous. Finally he got the courage to knock. A few moments later Dr. Mike opened the door. All of a sudden he felt warm inside, she had her hair down in curls and had a very pretty red dress on. She invited him inside and he took out his presents. He handed them out one by one, saving Dr. Mikes gift for last. His hands froze over the hand carved shingle. Taking in a deep breath he grabbed it and handed it to her, afraid of what she might feel.
"Now that's a shingle!" He smiled.
"It certainly is…thank you" Tears springing from her eyes.
Soon Sully felt nervous around her. Fearing that she would see he true feelings he decided to leave but was soon stopped by Dr. Mike.
"No wait. Please. Stay. Eat with us."
He hesitated. Then turned around and accepted the invitation. He knew he had feelings for this woman doctor, and becoming friends with her was a start. Everyone sat down to eat supper, their first supper.
