His lover is in mourning and he can't comfort him.
Booth is 'dead' and Zack is actually upset. Sweets can tell. He isn't going on and on about whatever and his eyes are shiny with unshed tears. And all Sweets can do is mutter sentiments. He wants to hold his hand, hold Zack but he can't.
He feels helpless.
They ride with Hodgins and Angela. She is in the front of the car and they are squeezed into the back. At a light, Sweets reaches to squeeze Zack's hand. He doesn't let him and gave him a familiar look.
No, not now.
Zack wasn't ready to tell anyone. And Sweets was fine with that. All he wanted was Zack. L
ater, when they found out everything, they all would lament. But Sweets would weep in silence much later. If anyone should have seen anything it should have been him. But he hadn't.
