Disclaimer- nope, I am not going to say it.

Happy reading and thanks for reviewing.

Booth thought carefully as he put pen to paper, although once he started it became hard to stop.

2nd April

My dear Temperance,

Your question surprised me a little and I'm unsure how you feel about loves existence, so instead I will tell you what love is to me...

I believe...

Love is waking up and thinking of that one person, who you can't wait to go back to sleep and dream about.

Love is getting excited see to someone, you've only just said goodbye to

Love is that one person, that when you're sad or upset, you know they will make it alright

When you're scared you know there is only one person who can protect you

Love is that one person who never seems to let you down

Love is that person that is always there when you need them

They can make you laugh when you want to cry

They hold you and expect nothing in return

When you're tired and can't pull yourself up, they carry you (metaphorically Bones)

Love is that person you trust 100%

They set your pulse racing with just one look

They stop your world with a single smile (again metaphorically Bones)

Love is someone who knows your weaknesses and won't use them against you

Someone you can tell your secrets to and know that they will never say a word

Love is that one person you don't want to live in a world without... can't live in a world without

Love is that one person Bones, that despite being half a world away you know you won't be complete until you're with her... God I miss you...

I could write more for you, but I think I covered the main points. Why do you ask Bones?

Don't be jealous of Grant I assure you he's got nothing on you. I miss you Bones, and have calculated this will probably be my second last letter to you before we go home. I am so looking forward to meeting you at the reflecting pool, what time does your plane get into DC? Will you go home first? What time will we meet?

My plane should arrive at 11:40am May 21st.

I hope you are still safe and looking after yourself.

Love Your Seeley xxx

She had come back to the camp earlier complaining of a headache. The low pressure caused by the weather was playing havoc on her sinuses and although not one to normally take a step back, she was feeling a little off kilter. Po came up and called into her tent quietly 'Miss Bren, you ok? I have letter for you' She was up and at the opening of her tent quicker than her head appreciated and let her know with a sharp pain and a wave of nausea 'Ugh, yes I'm here, thank you Po' She took the letter, sat back and began her read. She read once, twice three times ticking his list off in her head. With tears in her eyes she wrote her reply.

Booth smiled as Clarkson called out his name for mail "Hey sir one from the missus?" Booth stayed silent on the comment, took his letter and hurried off to the privacy of his tent.

April 19th

My Seeley,

I am safe, and anxious to get home.

My plane gets in at 9:24am May 21st, I'm unsure if I will go home before going to meet you. You tell me, what time to meet you. Will you be seeing Parker before you meet me?

Love always, your Temperance

It was short but it told him everything he needed and wanted to know 'Love always your Temperance' He read it again his smile growing. She loved him and in her own way had said it to him but more importantly she had admitted to herself. Booth lay on his cot staring at the dirty green canvas roof of his tent, 'maybe a year apart wasn't such a bad idea'. Booth rolled over to grab his notebook and pen and wrote his final letter to her.

May 8th

My Temperance,

I will land and go straight to the reflecting pool; I can't wait any longer to see you.

I hope this reaches you in time, and won't be expecting a reply.

Forever yours Seeley xxx
