Booth walked down the corridor, he made sure his cellphone was switched off so this time he wouldn't be interrupted. As he walked past her window, he noticed that the blinds were closed. He knocked on the door before walking in.

"Hey Bones" said Booth.

Booth stopped in his tracks. A nurse was making the bed, but Temperance was nowhere to be seen. The beeping machines had been turned off, all the wires were draped over it.

"Sorry -"

"No! She can't of died, she was so strong!" cried Booth, falling to his knees.

The nurse placed the new bedsheets down and shuffled over to Booth, she put her hand on his shoulder gently.

"Sorry, but she's been moved to the floor below" smiled the nurse gently.

"Oh" said Booth, standing back up, "thanks!"

Booth wiped the dirt off his pants, straightened his tie and smiled at the nurse before walking out. Booth felt his cheeks burn with embarassment, why didn't he just wait until she had finished her sentence ? Because you were scared that you had lost your partner, your best friend, the love of your life! thought Booth. Booth walked down the stairs, deciding to look into every rooms window along the corridor until he spotted Temperance.

He stopped at the fourth room across on the left. Inside was a sleeping Zack, Angela was sat in a chair besides the bed; she was also asleep. Booth smiled, he would go and see Zack later. He continued to walk down the corridor, he passed six more rooms before he arrived at Temperances. He looked through the window, making sure it was definitely her room. He saw her lay on her bed, reading a book while twiddling her finger around one of her curls. Booth noticed that she wasn't connected to any wires or a life machine, but she was still in her hospital gown. Booth knocked on the door and walked inside.

"Hey Bones" smiled Booth, sitting down besides her bed.

"Booth! They got rid of all those wires and the life machine! They said I had made progress!" grinned Temperance, putting her book down on the bedside cabinet.

"Thats great, Bones!" grinned Booth, kissing her on the forehead.

"What happened ? Why did you leave in such a rush ?" questioned Temperance, raising her eyebrow.

"The silver skeleton has been stolen, all the security cameras had turned off. Zacks explosion was a diversion set up by Gormogon, he or his new apprentice is working from inside the lab" sighed Booth, he decided to be honest.

Temperances jaw dropped, she covered her mouth with her hand as tears sparkled in her eyes. Booth knew that it killed her knowing that one of her own people could do such a thing.

"But, Bones, I promise you it will be Ok" added Booth, taking her hand in his.

"Booth, will you bring me the mandible please ?" said Temperance, removing her hand from her mouth.

"Sure, but why ?" questioned Booth.

"Just so I can observe, see if theres anything Zack missed" smiled Temperance.

Booth nodded, he stood up and made his way towards the door.

"Booth ?"

"Yes, Bones ?"

"Before you kept getting interrupted, what were you going to say ?" asked Temperance, raising her eyebrow.

Booth walked back over to her, she gave him questioning looks. Booth bent down and kissed her passionatly, running his fingers through her hair as she stroked his cheek. They continued to kiss, it seemed like the rest of the world had drifted away. Booth pulled away, smiling down at her.

"Oh" she smiled, "now I understand!"

Booth winked at her before leaving her room. As soon as he left, Temperance touched her tingling lips.

"I love you too" she whispered, before picking up her book again.
