Once the meal was over Brennan yawned. Booth looked up at the clock that was leaning up against the wall waiting to be hung. It was getting late so he told her to head off to bed and he'd clean up. She didn't even bother to complain at being packed off to bed. She went up the stairs to the room that she had claimed as hers. The second her head hit the pillow she fell fast asleep.
Booth pushed up his sleeves and started washing plates. They had a dish washer but he couldn't figure out how to work and he didn't want to ask Brennan because he knew she would just mock him, so he decided to do it manually.
When he went to dry up he grabbed the towel off the counter causing something to fall onto the floor. Bending down he picked the small object off the ground. Brennan's ring. He put it in his pocket and finished his job
Knocking on her bedroom door lightly he opened it. He saw her fast asleep on her bed. He smiled and walked over. Placing the ring on her bedside locker, he took the spare blanket off her chair and put it over her. he prayed silently that they would get to go home. She had only just found out that she had some family and know she had to leave them all again! As he turned to leave she muttered something he couldn't quite understand.
"Night Emz."
