Featuring Some Of Your Favorite Words by From First To Last
She has heart
She isn't the cold bitch that everyone thinks she is.
She will do anything to help the ones she loves, including the ones who abandoned her
He looked into her eyes, certainty evident in her beautiful and deep blue eyes.
She proposed an alternate story just earlier, to save her father.
He listened to the prosecutor ask him his questions, he knew their deal, but he didn't want to pretend like she was a cold blooded killer
"Bones was with me all day," Booth said
"She didn't have time to commit this murder?" Barron asked
"No, she did not."
"How did your son, Parker, get home from school that day?" Barron asked
Damn "45 minutes we were apart, but we talked on the phone."
"Plenty of time, wasn't it Agent Booth?" Barron asked
He imagined Bones, his Bones, standing there, watching the gutted Deputy Director Kirby burn on a cross.
Barron's voice brought his back from his revere "Dr. Brennan could have burned the body hours later when you were safe at home."
He looked into her eyes, silently talking to her
Are you sure he silently asked
Yes she answered slightly inclining her head
That's when he was certain, his hypothesis was proven true, she wasn't as cold as everyone thought she was. She cared and loved more than anyone he has ever known. He sighed, her heart was bigger than anyone he has ever met "That's a lot of heart Bones," Booth said to her
He didn't notice Barron argue at the judge, but did hear the judge order him to answer the question "Could Bones have killed Kirby? Temperance Brennan" he said her name rolling sweetly off his tongue "I've worked with this woman. I've stood over death with her; I've faced down death with her. And Sweets, he's brilliant, he is, but he's wrong. She could not have done this."
"I didn't ask you your opinion of Dr. Brennan's character. I asked you, did she have time?" Barron pressed
Booth looked into her eyes Are you sure he asked silently again
Please Booth, he heard her plead
Booth sighed "Yes. She had time…"
Brennan smiled in thanks
Before the verdict was read, he stood and walked out, he found her standing on the steps, she turned to him, brown drowning in ocean blue and vice versa. He stepped down and wrapped his arms around her, her head resting on his shoulder
He reluctantly pulled away when Angela walked down the steps. Brennan turned and hugged her friend and turned around to see her father. Booth stepped away and leaned against one of the large, round supports of the building.
Brennan hugged her father and looked over his shoulder, looking at Booth
Booth gave her a faint smile. He heard Caroline say that she was a fine woman, and she was
She was the best woman he had ever met, he loved her, everything about her, and it hurt to not tell her.
"Are you ok Cherie?" Caroline asked Booth
Booth nodded "Yeah," Booth said shoving his hands deeper into his parker
"Don't lie Cherie," Caroline said
"I've lied for the past 3 years on the subject…" Booth said, remembering how he always denied his feelings for his beautiful, adorable, and intelligent partner "…Why should I start telling the truth now?"
She will never feel the same
She would never see me as anything other than her partner and friend
She wouldn't allow herself to love him
I am doomed to gaze from afar
I could only hold her in my dreams
I could only kiss her in my fantasies
This love for her was unconditional…
Inadvertent…
Agonizing…
Undeniable…
His love for her was blood on his hands
Blood that he couldn't hide…
Or wash away…
It was real…
Visible…
Unmistakable…
To everyone…but her…
