Christine walked into the dining room, sat down on an empty seat and peered around on the others who were gazing at her. She gave them a weak smile. They all waited for somebody to say something. All knew, except from Christine, that she'd just met her father up there and probably didn't know about it herself. She didn't know it of course. She would have acted different if that was it.
"Where is he?" Sweets asked and looked at Christine who was now unfolded her napkin and then folded it to a flower.
When she was finished with the napkin she said: "You mean Booth?"
Everybody seemed a bit shocked about her knowing Booth's name. Angela felt so incredible stupid now. She and Brennan who refused to tell Chris who Booth was and now she knew.
Nobody said anything.
Daisy just tried to say something but got interrupted by Christine who was definitely irritated by something.
"He left, he had some neighbor crisis at home and needed to go home to fix it" Christine said and took some salad from the bowl beside her plate.
"Strange, he's never like that" Angela said and took some salad.
"No, it's not strange Ange. What's strange is that you and mom wouldn't tell who Booth was when we were in London. I wouldn't mind then if he was a friend or a colleague. But now is seems that he is more than that. Since you didn't told me who he was then, I'm much more curious now of who this guy really is...!"
Angela bit her lip and felt stupid. Even more stupid than before. "Maybe we shouldn't talk about this here"
"Then what shall we talk about? The news, Love, moving back here? I'm curious about one thing. That is what I wanna talk about." She stopped.
"Or we can..." Daisy said but got interrupted by Angela this time. "We, the two of us, can talk about it later."
"Yeah, later. Upstairs." Christine got more and more angry. She grabbed her phone that were on the table and ran upstairs with heavy steps. She was furious.
Downstairs all looked at each other like they all were new idiots from 'Idiot land'.
"She probably has her period now" Michael said trying to cheer everybody up a little.
"Michael?" Hodgins bursted out. "Period or not, your friend is upstairs upset for something. Maybe you should go up to her"
"Talking about period, guess who lost..." Daisy tried again but failed this time as well. Now because Michael said: "Not now Daisy!"
Christine ran up the stairs and into the hallway. She stopped and looked down on the floor. She saw a bracelet on the floor. It was a chain with thirteen charmys on it. Beautiful. It was light colors, or just pearls, diamonds and sterling silver. Expensive. It was beautiful, and probably Booth's. He held it in his hand while he dreamt by himself before her just fifteen minutes ago. He'd probably lost it when she'd waved her hand before his eyes, getting distracted and loose the jewelery on the floor.
Christine picked it up and put it in her hand. She wished it was hers, so beautiful it was. Booth had a good taste.
But who wore this bracelet? Not him, hopefully. That would be weird. Over weird. He wasn't just dragging along a silver bracelet with him all day just to have it there. Maybe it as to someone. She would better return it back to him. But she didn't have his number. How would she get in contact with him. He worked where? He lived where? She only knew his name. Last name though. She could find his number on the internet. But not today. She was tried and angry and just wanted to go to bed. She could apologize tomorrow.
She headed to the guest room and laid down on the soft bed. She tried to keep herself awake, in case if someone came up and talked to her. But no one came, and everything slowly blurred out and she fell asleep.
Very short chapter. Brennan is up next.
Please review :)
