Prompt: Brennan, Booth, Boneless Bride in the River, episode coda: what happened after they walked off the dock?
-------------------------------
They bicker about who is going to drive. In the end, he does - he's afraid she'll think he pities her if he lets her drive.
He watches her toy with her fruit salad, completely ignoring the toast he ordered for her.
Another lover has left. Sully claimed to love her, but he knows that's not true - someone who loved her wouldn't have wanted her to give up her job, her identity, her life on a whim.
He doesn't know if she loved Sully. The thought that she might bothers him more than he'd like to admit.
She talks about how Cam threatened to make Hodgins the public relations representative for the forensics department if he didn't clean up the results of his latest experiment with Zach.
He tells her about the latest home improvement project Dr. Wyatt has him helping with, and his last weekend with Parker.
She smiles, and laughs, but there's that underlying look of sadness in her eyes that rips his heart out.
When she finally gets up to leave - she's meeting Angela at the mall at 11 - that look has faded a little.
He hopes she'll realize one day that he's not going to leave.
