March – Sweets
A few months ago, Sweets had gone to the Maluku Islands to visit Daisy as promised. The only problem was, the moment he got to the dig site, he knew that the Daisy he knew wasn't the same woman anymore. She was immensely focused on the task at hand, which would normally be okay, but Dr. Brennan had even allowed Daisy some time off and his fiancée blew it off. She ignored him for all but two days of the three weeks he was there visiting. Why he had gone, he wasn't sure. He told Daisy right before he left to forget about him. There was no chance they were going to get back together. Lance wasn't as upset as he thought. He was relatively okay with the idea. Daisy, however, had a breakdown right in the middle of the Jakarta airport and he was forced to leave his devastated ex-fiancée in the middle of a city in the middle of a jungle.
He returned to D.C. with a new sense of who he was. He didn't need to rely on anyone anymore, even though, as a needy person, she relied on him more. And now he was dating new people. He was seeing a woman named Cameron and she worked at the local hospital as interning doctor. He was happy now, for the first time since Daisy, Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth had left for their year long trips. Brennan and Booth left their own unique hole in his heart, just like they did for their other coworkers they left behind.
As his subjects for his book, Sweets missed the daily interactions with the anthropologist and the rebellious agent. He was working on new material for his book when they had practically vanished before his eyes. Their goodbyes at the airport though had given him enough material to work with for an entire chapter. He was happy they at least gave him something to work on for a while. He was heading for his date with Cameron. They were getting extremely serious, his first serious relationship since Daisy. Before he left the Hoover building for the day, he typed an email to his subjects.

Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth,
I'd like to ask how your adventures are treating you. I'm working on my book still and I was wondering how you two were dealing with your long time apart. Do either of you miss the other? Booth, how have your feelings changed for Dr. Brennan, if at all? Dr. Brennan, same question.
I hope you two are having fun and staying safe.
Thanks,
Dr. Sweets.

Sweets,
I'm fine. Yes, I miss her like crazy and I'm sure she misses me too. No, my feelings haven't changed for her, they've only gotten stronger. Stop asking us questions while we're not working for the FBI.
Booth
Oh, and any chance you've heard from Bones. I haven't heard from her in almost four months.

Agent Booth,
Thanks for answering my questions honestly. And no, I haven't heard from Dr. Brennan.
Sweets

Okay, thanks Sweets. If you talk to her, tell her to email me. It's important.
