Prologue
"Angela, can I speak with you for a moment?" Dr. Temperance Brennan hesitated at the artist's door, unsure of what she was going to say.
Looking up, a smile graced Angela's lips when she saw her best friend. "Of course, Sweetie. I'm always available to talk to you." Studying her friend's face, her smile faltered seeing the indecision flickering in her eyes. "Is there something wrong?"
"I'm not sure. I need some advice."
"Okay…what about?"
"I like Booth. More than in a 'just partners' way. I trust him and when I think back to his "death" I realize just how big a part of my life he is and how much I rely on him, even though I don't like relying on people. I just don't know what to do in this kind of situation. That's where I figured you'd come in." Sighing one of relief, Brennan finally looked up at Angela to find her mouth open, gaping like a fish.
Shaking her head, Angela processed what her friend just told her. She finally admitted her feelings for Booth. She had to keep herself in check, not wanting to squeal in excitement. "Okay, Sweetie, I need you to consider what I'm about to say. We all know Booth likes you. You may not know it, but the rest of us know. So, I think the best way to tell him is to confront him and it may be easier for you to tell him when he tells you how he feels."
Brennan nodded while she listened to Angela's suggestion. Angela knew what she was talking about since she had more experience in this area of life, unlike Brennan. Once Angela finished speaking, Brennan thought about it and figured she might as well give it a shot. "Thank you, Angela. I think I will try that and hope all goes well."
"Anytime, Sweetie. I'm so excited for you! Call me right afterwards and tell me everything!" She pulled Brennan in for a hug before they both stood up.
"If this goes well, I'm hoping I won't have time to talk. But I will when I get a chance. Bye, Ange. Thanks again!" Whipping out her cell phone, Brennan called Booth and told him to meet her at her office. "I have something important to talk to you about…"
