He wondered momentarily if it could be that easily taken care of; dump Hannah then pursue Bones. His final thought of it was that he would have to find out. He flipped open his phone and dialed Brennan's cell.
"Hey." He smiled into the phone when she answered, "Want to get dinner tonight?" A quiet thoughtful moment then she replied "Yes I will have dinner with you." "Okay I'll pick you up, say 6, 7?" She quickly shot that statement down, "No I will just meet you." Booth was taken aback slightly but understood that it might just be too much for Brennan. "Okay, the diner, 7 o' clock, see you there Bones." It was a short call but a step in the right direction. He called the jeweler; the pieces he ordered wouldn't be ready for a week.
Angela was sitting at her desk looking at her email. She never received a reply from Booth and in the past weeks she had barely seen him in passing. She had to do something.
"Hey Hodgins!" she called to her husband as he passed her office.
"Yea babe?" he said with a smile as he entered carrying a tray holding his new beetles.
"I am worried about Brennan. She has not shut me out like this before and Booth has stayed out of my line of sight, so I don't even know what's going on with them. I have to help them." His face curved into a puzzled look, "How will you help when you don't know the situation?" She stood and began to pace as her fixing plan formed. "I will dig up some information then make Booth fix it. I know that he knows what this problem is." "Honey, don't put yourself into this thing of theirs. When it's time she will be ready to open up." "Do you really think so Hodgins?" "I hope so." He replied while pressing a kiss to her cheek and leaving her office.
Angela sat back at her desk. I have to put myself in the mix, she thought to herself, for Brennan's sake. Angela grabbed her phone.
"Something needs to change."
