Chapter Eight: Five Gold Rings
"How about this one?" Parker said, pointing to a beautiful delicate silver chain with a blue diamond-encrusted dolphin charm on it.
"That looks amazing, Bud, but I was thinking this one, right here." Booth pointed to a gold chain that had five rings on it with the image of a dolphin visible when all the rings lined up, accordingly.
"Whoa!" Parker said, in admiration. "That looks awesome, Dad! Bones is gonna love it!"
Booth grinned, looking at the price; $129.99. "And it's just in our budget, too." He called over the attendant and pointed to the necklace. "I'd like that one, please. Gift-wrapped."
The young female attendant smiled at him, enchanted by his looks. "Is this for someone special?" she asked, taking the chain out of the glass encasement, and placing it delicately in a little black box, filled with festive red-and-white bedding to keep it in place.
Booth nodded. "Yes, it is. Somebody very special."
"Yeah!" Parker cut in. "Bones is awesome!"
The attendant smiled amused, "Bones?"
"She's my dad's partner. He works with the FBI and she's a Forensic Anthropologist. She works with bones to figure out how somebody died. So Dad calls her Bones!" Parker explained excitedly, while Booth and the attendant watched with amused expressions on their faces.
"What he said." Booth joked, handing over his Credit Card as the attendant finished wrapping the box in green paper with a red ribbon. She stuck a gift tag on it and handed him a pen to fill it out, while she ran the card through the machine, and received the receipt for him to sign.
Booth filled out the gift tag, then signed the receipt and handed the pen back to the attendant in exchange for his card back.
"Have a nice day, sir." The attendant said, placing the box in a Kay's bag and handing it to him. "And good luck with your partner." She winked at him, obviously knowing that this woman was more than a partner to him. He was so obviously in love with her if he was willing to pay over a hundred dollars for her Christmas gift.
Booth smiled bashfully at her. "Um, thank you. Merry Christmas!" He said, leading Parker out with him.
"Merry Christmas, Ma-am!" Parker called over his shoulder. The attendant waved to him, smiling.
Awww! Don't you just love how much Parker is like his father? XD Please REVIEW!
