For the next week Sophie did nothing but plague him, with her 'pleas' of "please come back." But he was having none of it.

Booth walked in the door of his garage apartment, after just closing his first case back on the job, and threw his coat and keys on the couch. He saw a note on his coffee table. It was from Hodgins.

Hey Booth. Angela just sent me down to tell you that Sophie's

here at the house and to ask if you could come up ASAP 'cause we can't

get rid of her

The Bug Man.

P.s. I took a carton of milk thanks.

Booth sighed. Now she was harassing his friends.He walked over to the house and let himself in. He heard voices in the room just off the hall.

"Sophie. We need to talk." He said walking into the sitting room. The two women in the room looked up at him.

"I…I need to check on Isabel" Angela said and she got up to leave the room. She squeezed Booth's hand on the way and smiled.

"Good to see you haven't lost your touch Seeley you can still storm into a room and command everyone in it."

"Sophie this has got to stop. Just leave it. Stop turning up at the Jeffersonian. Stop trying to talk to my friend' s and just leave. You ended our relationship the minute you started seeing Sean behind my back. Please… can't you just leave me to get back to… get back to my old life?" He spoke slowly and as he finished the sentence her smile broke.

"Your old life… you mean let you get back to her. you know I was in love with you. But after a while I got so sick of you wondering why she hadn't called. Why she didn't answer your letters. And I knew that even though you seemed to love me you would never think about, or even look at, me in the same way as you did at her." Sophie stood up. "I only turned to Sean so I could feel like someone loved me, and only me. And then when you walked in on us and reacted the way you did it made me think maybe he does care about me enough to forget about her. Now I see that I was always second best for you because you came right back to her." She placed her small hand on his cheek. "Goodbye Seeley. Have a good life. I'm sorry I hurt you" She went to leave the room when he caught her by the wrist.

"Sophie je vous ai aimé je jure. Je seulement…" (Sophie I did love you. I swear I just…)

"I know… Well if you are ever in London, ou Paris (or Paris)…" with that she was gone.
