Author's Note: My first drabble. And, go figure, I managed to make it exactly 100 words, too. Not beta'd, since it's short and I decided that I thought it was okay. Plus, I've nothing better to do than post as it's the first snowstorm of the season, it's been snowing for 5 hours, we have at least 6 inches (and I'm in the city!), it will likely continue for the rest of the night, and I'm taking a short break from re-watching S2. Also, I've always felt that Brennan deserved a hug at the end of the episode.

Disclaimer: They're not mine, likely never will be.


"You told Cam."

It wasn't a question.

"Yeah."

She stood in the doorway to his office; he leaned back in his chair. Neither moved.

"Are you mad at me?"

Tilting her head, she thought for a moment before answering, "No. I don't think I am." Pause. "You did what you thought was right."

"Yeah."

She made to leave, but he called her back. "Bones. C'mere." He stood and pulled her into an embrace. "You're not alone; you know that, right?"

Face pressed into his shoulder and arms wrapped around his waist, she mumbled, "I know."

"Well, someday you'll believe it."
