Michael said, "I do have two more gifts for you. I know it has been a long day. I just really want to give these two to you." Katrina said, "I was already ecstatic with what you just did for me. I love you so much." Katrina gave him a deep and longing kiss. When they released, they walked back to the car holding hands. When they got in the car, Katrina said, "where are we headed now?" "You will see my sweet. I promise you are going to love it." "I trust you." She kissed him on the cheek and he pulled out the parking lot. As he was driving, they were listening to music. Katrina turned up the radio when she heard K. Michelle. Katrina was singing along and smiling at Michael. She loved him and everything he was doing for her. She felt truly loved and special. He was making her feel like she was worth more than what she thought. Katrina was happy with what he had done, and she was pleased he said they weren't done yet.

                   The next place Michael took Katrina was to Books-A-Million. Katrina said, "ooohh, did you get me an unlimited gift card." Michael started laughing. He said, "no my dear. I got you a chance to talk to one of your favorite authors." Katrina looked inside and saw J.K. Rowling. Katrina has loved her books since she was a kid. When she was in elementary school, it was when she began reading the Harry Potter series. She finished reading the series in 2018. Michael said, "go on. We got to get inside before she leaves. We don't have much time left. Katrina even still had the journal in her hand. She was going to get J. K. Rowling to sign it. When they got inside, there was a long line. They waited in line. While they were waiting, they talked about how hard it is to even meet a famous author. Katrina was gitty and she felt like she was dreaming. Katrina was glad they were the last ones in line. Katrina introduced herself to her. She got her to sign her journal. Michael took two pictures of them together. Katrina and J. K. Rowling talked about books and writing.

                 Katrina opened the notebook and wrote down the advice she was giving her. Katrina wasn't going to miss anything she said. Katrina was felt like she was on cloud 10. Katrina absorbed the whole conversation and was grateful to even be in the presence of such a big celebrity author. Katrina left Books-A-Million with a huge smile on her face. Katrina had to pinch herself. She felt like all the things on her bucket list, Michael was making happen. Katrina said, "I am overjoyed with you right now. You accomplished a whole lot. I am stunned." Michael said, "don't be stunned just yet."  Katrina said, "why shouldn't I be stunned just yet? You have literally been making me ecstatic today. You have been giving me all the things I wrote on my bucket list. I am sure you are the best husband ever." "I don't think I'm the best. I'm just the perfect one for you." Katrina laughed and said, "you may be right about that. I am sure you will continue to keep surprising me and keeping me smiling in the process."

                       "That's the plan my sugar plum." Katrina leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. When they were pulling out the parking lot, Katrina said, "I'm still surprised you have one thing left for me. I really am lucky to have you." "Correction my sugar plum. I am lucky to have you and I have to treat you as such." Katrina said, "you already do. We have a wonderful relationship and we are doing big things all over." "True." Katrina wondered where their last destination was going to be. When they got to the house, Katrina said, "I'm shocked we are home." Michael said, "hey, we aren't done yet. You go ahead and take a bath. I will be waiting for you in the backyard." Michael got out and opened her door. They went inside, and she went into their room. While she was in the bathroom, Michael was setting up the backyard. He was making it look romantic. He had a table set for two. He fixed the lights to where they were hanging like Christmas lights and shining brightly. He took out a basket of rose petals and was draping them around the yard starting from the back door. He even had a cover to put over her eyes before she saw it.

                    When Katrina came out of of of the bath, she picked out a pretty lavender dress to wear. When she came into the kitchen, she saw Michael in a tuxedo. He had changed, and she was wondering what he was doing. He said, "okay, sugar plum now I have one last surprise. It's not as big as the others. Yet, I still must cover your eyes." When she saw the bandana, she knew it was about to go down. He put it over her eyes and took her hand. He directed her outside. He said, "okay, I'm going to take it off now." When he took it off, she was in aww? She didn't know what to say. In her mind, she thought it was beautiful and she was wondering what it could be he was doing. They were already married, and he had done a whole lot. She couldn't put her finger on it. Michael said, "I know you're thinking. Trust me I wanted to make this perfect." Katrina said, "it certainly is." They walked to the table and sat down. Katrina put her hand on the table and put her hand in his.
