I drove all night to get to you. Is that alright?
I drove all night. Crept in your room.
Woke you from your sleep, to make love to you
Is that alright? I drove all night.
-Cyndi Lauper
Brennan was finishing up her final identification for the night when her phone rang. It was Booth. She was surprised because he was in Vermont were there was supposedly no service. Leave to Booth to find a way to talk to me, she though with a smile. She held that smile as she answered her persistent cell phone.
"Hey, Booth."
"Hiya, Bones. How are you doing?"
"I'm fine, Booth. How are you? Enjoying your time with Parker?"
"Parker couldn't come," he replied with a tight tone. "Rebecca wanted him to see his grandparents this weekend."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Booth. That's not fair for you and your time with Parker."
"Well, she said he doesn't get to see them very often because they live further away, so I guess I could see her side."
"So, you're all alone up there? Why did you still go if you knew Parker couldn't go?"
"I already had the vacation time and I guess I wanted sometime to myself and just relax. It's going great. I've gone fishing and hiking, spending some quality time with myself," he ended with a smirk that she could hear even through the phone.
"I guess that makes sense, though you could've cancelled your vacation and went another time with Parker."
"Yeah, I could've, but I really needed the time away. But, I'm gonna go and let you finish your work in peace."
"How do you know that I'm working? I could actually be at home reading and relaxing myself."
"Yeah, you could, but I know you too well, Bones. You are most likely finishing up some identification of a guy who lived a hundred years ago. Then you'll go get food and go to bed."
"I guess you do know me, Booth. But I know you too and you're bored. Otherwise you wouldn't have called me at work to talk about your self-meditation."
"Of course I'm bored. I don't have you here to debate with." Laughing, he finished up the conversation. "I'll see you in a couple days, Bones. Miss you," he said in mock sincerity.
"I miss you too, Booth," she replied in a whisper of real sincerity.
