She spun on her heel and stormed back to him. Her eyes were blazing with anger. "It means I don't care about anything anymore!" She practically screamed in his face.

"Bones-" he started.

"I don't want to hear it! I'm getting older! I'm in my mid-thirties! Life is ticking by! I can't just wait for someone who's never going to come!" She paused to calm herself. "I need to settle down and have kids if I want them. What I don't need is to sit around and watch my life pass me by. The time in my life where I wait for you…it's over. I can't keep waiting for a man that might not ever come."

"So you'll marry a man you don't love?"

"If that's what it takes."

"Bones, marriage doesn't work that way!"

"How does it not? Feelings are nothing but chemicals in the brain triggering-"

He pressed his lips against hers to silence her. Instead of what he expected, being pushed away, she melted into him. "Oh god Booth…" she whispered.

"What chemicals came into play on that one?" He asked as she rushed out of the room.
