Hey guys! This is the Booth-centric companion to Home Will Always Be Where The Heart Is. I will, again, update on Sundays. Hope you enjoy!


Now look.

I've known Doctor Temperance Brennan for six and a half years now.

I know almost everything about her, even things she hasn't told me.

I know how much she missed her family for the fourteen years she lost them. I know how much it hurt when she found out her mother was dead, and how hard she tried to keep her father with her. Every day, I could see her struggling to fit into this world, and to show her feelings to the ones she loves. She certainly knew how to show the ones she didn't like how she felt about them, but I think that was in self defence.

For six and a half years, I've known that I love her.

For six and a half goddamn years.

The whole moving on thing was my version of her self defence.

The whole moving on thing is bullshit.
