Brennan stood pacing her living room

Brennan stood pacing her living room. She hadn't slept at all last night. Now there was proof, and she couldn't keep lying. Especially to him. He always knew anyway so there would be no point. Finally, after pacing for a good ten minutes, she picked up her cell phone and hit speed dial one. Well, maybe it wouldn't be so hard. He was already number one. She stopped pacing and waited for him to answer.

"Hey Bones. What's up?"

"Nothing, Booth. What are you doing?" Brennan replies barely audible.

"Nothing…Bones. What's wrong? You sound upset."

Upset is not the right word. Scared out of my mind is more like it. Brennan is snapped out of her thoughts when she hears Booth begin talking again.

"Listen…about the other night. I know that you probably think it was a mistake, but let's be honest, our relationship has changed. And I want to talk to you about it…because…it might not have been a mistake."

Her resolve crumbles. She begins crying softly. He can't hear her or he just chooses not say anything for fear of pushing her away. After a few moments, to compose herself, she begins to speak again.

"Do you think you could come over Booth? I think we should talk too. There's something I have to tell you."

"What happened? Are you okay?" Booth replies.

Brennan cracks a smile. He could be on fire, and for some reason his thoughts would always come back to her, but wasn't it the same way for her too?

"I'm okay. I'll be okay." Brennan replies.

"Okay. I'm heading over there right now."

"Great." Brennan replies her voice breaking a bit.

"Bones?"

"Yeah?"

"Should I pick up the Thai food?" Booth asks?

This elicits a giggle from Brennan and she can feel him smiling to at the other end of the phone.

"Yeah Booth. I think Thai food is definitely needed for this."
