So, today, Brennan still isn't happy with Booth. She wants him there, but she kind of hates him at the moment. Please don't get too upset with her. Read and review. :-)
Day 4:
I allowed myself yesterday to grieve and spill out my emotions. Today, I was calm and collected, and I went straight to work. Zack joined me today, and we worked in silence, unless we were pointing out observations that allowed us to make positive IDs on the remains, until Angela stopped by with lunch. We ate quietly while Zack worked, and we talked about anything but Booth. Angela told me how she and Hodgins hoped to be getting the divorce papers out of her husband soon so that they could get married. I told her about the remains Zack and I were able to identify before lunch.
Angela used this time to convince me to go shopping. I packed up early, and we went to the mall. I got blue and green blouses, skirts to match, and a dark blue dress that Angela said "made my eyes look like iridescent sapphires". The dress hugged my curves in just the right ways, and I knew that Booth would say that I looked breath-taking. Everything reminded me of my deceased partner.
I wanted the guy hugs and Thai nights, and the way he read me like an open book. I wanted to see his eyes dance as he gave me his charm smile. I wanted lunch at the Diner where he let me steal his fries. I just wanted more time with him. And that was the one thing I'd never have. Why did I have to let him get into my life? Why did I let myself lower my walls for him? Just like always, I let someone in and get close to me, and that person left me. Booth left me.
I wouldn't make that mistake again.
And, there's Day 4. The next day will be Day 7, and you'll see why when I post. Hope you liked it! But, don't leave me guessing. Leave a review, please!
