Booth and Bones have been talking in a hallway outside a French theatre, after seeing the Russian ballet.
As Booth starts to leave, Bones calls back to him.
"Booth!"
He stops, and turns back to her.
"Yes?"
Temperance pauses a second, unsure of what to say.
"Look, we've been through a lot together..." Booth nods slowly
"Uh-huh?"
"…and I just wanted to..." she pauses again, and they move closer together, so they're just inches apart.
"Yes?"
"Well... thank you, I guess..." Temperance looks down and steps back slightly. She then raises her head and looks Booth in the eye, nodding. "Yes, thank you for everything."
They both look slightly disappointed with themselves as they both turn and start to walk away in opposite directions. On impulse, Booth turns back
"Bones, I..." hearing him, Temperance whirls back around.
"Yes?"
"I'm, I, um…" he stammers, not sure of what to say. They both move closer again
"Yeeess?"
"I wanted to wish you good luck, I guess"
"Oh..." she frowns and looks disappointed. They both pause for a while, seemingly inspecting their shoes.
"Uh… Goodluck" Booth and Bones shake hands, then he continues abruptly adds, "Well, here goes", and leaves.
Temperance looks down sadly as he walks away...
