The Hole In The Heart Chapter 1 -
Emptiness! That is all Temperance Brennan had felt for 365 days; 8760 hours; 525600 minutes! It's not that the dig in Indonesia hadn't been amazing and they had find evidence which would change history but anthropology was never on the fore front of Brennan's mind. Only one thing was ever constantly on her mind and that was the man who ihad been thousands of miles away from her for a whole year in Afganistan. But now today Brennan would finally see Booth again after a whole year of having a hole in her heart and regretting her decision outside the Hoover building Brennan will finally get a chance to fix her mistake. But her only concern is will he still want her?
After getting up 3 hours before she needed to leave her apartment to go meet Booth she thought she would have enough time to get ready. But after showering and trying on her whole wardrobe to find something that looks nice she had ten minutes to spare. Eventually Brennan had decided to wear a fitted white blouse sowing of the curves of her body with a black skirt which cut of just above the knee to show her mile long legs. Brennan wanted to make an impression, show him that if he turned her down he would be making a big mistake because while in Maluku she had missed home. Before she had never had a home to miss but realising that Booth was her home and accepting that she loved him meant that now it was her time to put her heart on the line like he did all those months ago and tell him she wanted to give this a shot.
With ten minutes to go Brennan quickly applied her make up and brushed her hair. And then grabbed her keys and got in her car. Driving to the coffee cart, there coffe cart had to be the most nerve racking thing Temperance has ever done. She could feel her heart beat becoming erratic and her breathing become rapid. As she tried to calm herself down by repeating "It's only Booth" How many times had they spent time together just the 2 of them she thought but Brennan knew this time was different this time she had something to lose if it didn't go well.
It was a beautiful day in DC like a day out of fairy tale. The sky was a sheet of radiant blue untouched by any cloud. The water in the reflecting pool shimmered in the sunlight. The electricity of the moment created the anticipation and child like hope that Temperance had thought had disappeared with the innocence of childhood and the acceptance of life's hardships. As she sat there nervously holding 2 coffee cups tapping her foot as she started to grow impatient there was a sudden horrible thought that passed through her mind WHAT IF HE DOESN'T COME!
But at that exact moment a very tanned, very toned man walked in to view. A smiled eclipsed on to her face as she stood dropping the coffee and ran straight in to Booth's arms. There embrace seemed to last for hour's as they stood there making up for all the time that had been lost. As they pulled back and looked in to each others eye's Booth finally understood what it meant for distance making the heart grow stronger but all he had to do was convince her!
