"What will happen to me once Neil finds out that I am gone?" Temperance asked.

"Well by the time he finds out we will be gone." Booth replied.

"Where are we going?"

"Away, I am getting you out of Philadelphia, away from Neil ad Kelly."

"What about you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you just going to drop me off at some random place and leave?"

"No, I am staying with you. My uncle lives in DC so I called him and he said we could stay there." Booth replied.

"So you are just going to leave your family here, and run away with me?"

"Well yeah, I left a note telling them where I am going, and I wanted to be with you."

"So you would rather be with me instead of your family?" Temperance asked in disbelief.

"It was a hard choice for me, but yes, now you better get some sleep it's a long drive."


Booth gently shook Temperance awake.

"Where....where are we?" Temperance asked groggily.

"We're in DC." Booth said smiling at her.

Booth got out of the car and went around to open her door.

"There you are Seeley, I was wondering when you were going to get here." Frank Booth, Booth's uncle, said coming out of his house to greet them.

"How are you?" Booth asked shaking Franks hand.

"Good, my gosh you have grown up! Now who is this nice young lady?"

"This is Temperance, the girl I told you about."

"Well hello Temperance, I am Frank."

"Nice to meet you." Brennan replied shaking Franks hand.

"Now come on let's get inside it looks like it's about to rain." Frank said.

Booth took his luggage out from his car.

"Do you need any help?"

"No, I got it."

"Booth." Temperance said giving a look he adored.

"Fine, can you get the last bag and shut the door?"

"Okay."

Frank lead them up the steps to two rooms. "Is this a good enough place to stay?"

"Yes, thank you for letting us stay here." Booth said.

"It's nothing, I'll let you kids get settled into your rooms." Frank said going back down the steps.

"What am I going to do about cloths, I don't have any money to bye any."

"I will take you shopping, and I will buy cloths for you."

"You don't have to do that Booth."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Booth said giving her his charm smile. "Now come on, let's go see if uncle F wants to go grab a bit to eat, I am starving."


"What are we going to do about school?" Temperance asked, they where all at a restaurant.

"There is a high school farily close to the house." Frank said.

"It's not that easy to get into school, you can't just start going there, we will have to go talk to the principle and everything." Booth said.

"I know that, we can go tomorrow." Frank replied.

"That's fine with me."

"Tempe after this we can go get you some cloths." Booth said.

Temperance looked at him in adore.

"What?"

"You called me Tempe, you never call me that."

"Well, is that okay that I called you that, I mean it just seemed like a time to call you Tempe instead of Temperance." Booth stuttered.

"No it's fine that you called me that, it's just, I am not used to it."

"Well you can call me Seeley."

"You never let anyone call you that."

"Well you are not like any one else I have met." Booth said giving her a smile.

"Okay Seeley." Temperance replied smiling back.

"Okay Tempe."

They were looking each other in the eyes.

"Okay guys why don't we finish up and leave?" Frank said stopping there gaze at each other.
