He had gotten closer to her than most people could ever imagine. He knew so much of her past that at times it actually scared her, but there was something she wasn't ready for anyone to know about. A secret that had to be just hers. That secret was getting harder to keep, especially now. For the past few months she had taken several vacation days, usually a Monday, a Friday, or both. No one could quite figure it out. Weekends were an opportunity for her to work at the lab with no interruptions, just her and the bones. Weekends weren't mini-vacations, not for Temperance Brennan.
Just like the week before, Brennan shoved away from her desk promptly at 4:30pm Thursday afternoon. She ran her fingers through hair, grabbed her bag, and headed for the door. Booth and the squints were standing on the platform when she shut her office door and locked it. The sound of the door latching caught the attention of Booth as he turned around to see her heading toward the exit.
"Hey Bones! Where ya off to? I just on my way to see you." He hollered in her general direction.
Not stopping to acknowledge him or anyone else for that matter, she simply replied, "It will have to wait, Booth. See everyone on Monday."
With that she left the building and headed for her car.
Booth immediately looked to Angela.
"Hey, don't ask me," she defended. "I don't know what's been going on with her lately, but it's really starting to bug me."
Hodgins winked as he leaned in.
"I thought I was the only one who got to bug you," he whispered.
"Definitely later," she whispered back.
Booth was completely obviously to everything and everyone except Brennan. He watched as she slid into her car and sped away. But to where?
