Katie pushed herself up out of bed with a moan. Her stomach hurt. She didn't understand….she was fine yesterday, why was she suddenly sick?

She grabbed her crutches and hoisted herself up and outside to work.

She was cutting hardwood to upgrade her house more. She wanted kids one day, so she was busy trying to collect the hardwood Robin needed to make the nursery add-on. She just needed 24 more pieces.

As she cut the large stump, she noticed everything was getting cold. Shivering, she put her axe down, and paused to cough.

She heard footsteps behind her and looked over her shoulder to see Leah.

"Hey, Leah." She said hoarsely, making Leah flinch.

"Are you okay, Katie?" She asked

"A little sick, but I'm okay." She smiled.

"You should probably rest." Leah said. "Let me take care of the farm work."

Katie sighed. "I need to cut this wood, then I'll be done."

"How much more do you need?"

"24."

"You'll wear yourself down before you get done." Leah said, taking the axe. "Lemme help you."

As Leah began chopping wood, Katie used her crutches to walk over to the mailbox. When she opened it, she was greeted by a bouquet sitting inside her mailbox.

"Oh my." Katie breathed. She knew a bouquet symbolized. It symbolized deep feelings someone had for one another.

There was a note attached. Pulling it off, she recognized Harvey's handwriting. She immediately blushed.

She read the note.

Katie,

I know we confessed, and…I really wanted to take our relationship to another level. So I thought I'd give you this. I hope you like it. It's the best bouquet I could find. It has all your favorite flowers. Violets and daisies. I hope you're doing okay after yesterday. If not, feel free to stop in and see me. I'll be here.

Love,

Harvey

Katie smiled and put the note in her pocket. She took the flowers inside the house and put them in a vase.

When she came back out, she was overcome with dizziness. She made her way over to Leah.

"I'm going to town to see Harvey…" Katie breathed. "Make sure this isn't serious."

Leah nodded. "I'll finish up here, you go make sure everything's okay."

Katie smiled and made her way to town.

Leah smiled. "I can't believe Harvey felt that way about her….and getting Katie her favorite flowers? That's so sweet and romantic."

As Katie made her way to the clinic, she got stares from several of the townsfolk.

Face red with embarrassment, she quickly made her way to the door of the clinic.

She tripped on one of her crutches, and fell facefirst.

She got laughed at by some of the townsfolk. Someone rushed up to help her. It was Lewis.

He helped her to stand. "Katie, are you okay?"

Katie sniffled, tears falling down her face. Lewis saw her face was scratched up, and bleeding a little.

"Come on, let's get you to Harvey." He said softly, guiding the woman inside the clinic.

Harvey looked up and gasped when he saw her. He rushed over.

"Are you alright?" He breathed.

"She fell on her face." Lewis said. "It got pretty scratched up."

"I was…" Katie paused to cough. "Planning on coming here anyway…"

Harvey's eyes grew sharp with worry. He guided her to the examination room, and had her sit on the exam table.

Lewis waited outside, wanting to know if Katie was okay. When Harvey came out, he had a grim look on his face.

Lewis looked worried. "Is she…okay?"

"No, she's not looking good, she's got an infection." Harvey had tears in his eyes. "I'm gonna have to take her to Zuzu City."

"It's that bad?" Lewis breathed.

"Not what you're thinking, but….since Maru won't help me anymore, I need to take her there so she gets the help she needs."

"Why won't Maru help?" Lewis asked.

"Because of that damned rumor." Harvey's eyes were burning with rage. "Because of it, I've lost almost everyone's trust! Katie's no different. They humiliate her!"

Lewis sighed. "I can talk to them, but I won't promise anything."

"Thanks." Harvey said. "Say, can I borrow your truck to take her to the city?"

"Of course, doc." Lewis smiled.

When Harvey got to Zuzu City, Katie was fast asleep. He had already called Zuzu City Hospital, and everything was ready, he just needed to get Katie there.

When they arrived at the hospital, Harvey carefully lifted Katie out of Lewis' truck, carrying her inside the hospital.

He helped the doctors to treat Katie's infection. The doctors could tell how afraid Harvey was, because during the procedures, his hands were shaking.

After everything was done, they gave Katie a comfortable room to rest in for a couple weeks. When Katie awoke and learned she'd be stuck there for a couple weeks, she almost had a fit if Harvey hadn't reassured her he'd have Leah take care of the farm for a bit.

After she settled back down, she said something that made Harvey's heart thump. "Harvey, I saw the bouquet you left me."

Harvey gulped. "You did?"

"Yes, and it really touches me that you feel that way about ne." Katie smiled.

Harvey trembled. And? Will you accept my love?

Katie reached for his hand, grabbing it, and squeezing it. "And I accept."

Harvey smiled, squeezing her hand. He leaned in towards her, and she leaned into him, and their lips met in a kiss.

One of the doctors was watching, and smiled as he looked at the two kissing. He walked away with a chuckle, glad the doctor who they saw shaking in fear, was happy and content.

When Katie was able to go home, as Harvey drove her back, they held hands, happy and content with each others company.

As they got to town, they noticed everyone was gathered in the town square.

As Katie got out of the truck with Harvey's help, she realized everyone was staring at her.

She gripped Harvey's hand tightly, nervous and anxious. Harvey knew she was frightened.

Abigail stepped forward from the crowd, and smiled at the two.

"Welcome back, Katie." She said.

Katie nodded slowly, trying to process the situation.

Abigail smiled. "Lewis told us we were wrong about you and for that, we're all sorry "

Katie smiled a little.

Harvey looked at Maru as she came to the front of the crowd. She looked upset.

"He also told us we were wrong to believe Haley's rumor about you." Maru said. "I'm sorry for believing it over you."

Harvey smiled. "I'm just glad you all came to your senses."

Katie leaned against Harvey, smiling.

Maru saw the warm gaze in Katie's eyes as she looked at Harvey. She smiled as she realized what had happened while Harvey and Katie were in the city.

She chuckled. "You'd best get her home. I'm sure you two want some alone time."

Harvey and Katie blushed.

As they headed to Dianite Farm, Katie looked at Harvey with a smile.

Harvey smiled. "You happy you're going home?"

"Yes. I've missed my farm." Katie said. "But I'm going to miss you being by my bedside."

Harvey blushed a little. "I'm going to miss taking care of you."

Katie kissed his cheek. "You're welcome to visit."

"I know. Hopefully I can focus at work. All I can think about is you." Harvey smiled.

Katie giggled, hearing barking. She quickly used her crutches to get to the source.

"Sidekick!" she wrapped an arm around her dog. He started to lick her face.

"Oh, I missed you!" Katie smiled petting him.

Harvey chuckled. He petted Sidekick. "Has Leah been taking care of you?"

Sidekick barked.

"Good." Harvey said.

In his mind, Harvey was picturing something wonderful. Him and Katie cuddling each other, sitting in a grassy field, Harvey holding a little girl in his lap and Katie holding a little boy in her arms.

Sighing, he looked at Katie, smiling. One day…we'll be together…and maybe my dream will come true.
