Prompt: Booth/Brennan - Floatin' on air [Why Don't We Just Dance; Josh Turner]
Disclaimer: I don't own them
Most of the guests arrived at the reception earlier than expected. After all, after the bride and groom departed for places unknown, the wedding ceremony itself was something of a non-event.
When the rest of the bridal party walked into the room, the guests were clustered in groups of 3 or 4 people, obviously discussing the events of the day.
Caroline bustled over to the newcomers. "What took you guys so long?" She shot a stern look at Booth and Brennan then asked Cam, "Did you all have to wait around for these partners to hug again? My friend Alice and I have been partners for bridge every week for 15 years and we've never disrupted a wedding because we couldn't wait 20 minutes to hug each other."
Cam smirked as she shook her head. "No, Caroline. Angela and Hodgins took off in the limo, so we had to find other transportation."
"Well, I'm glad you're here, cherie. Someone needs to get this party started. Here." She placed a hand on Brennan's back, pushing her slightly towards Booth. "You two start the dancing."
"But aren't we supposed to eat first? Angela said the meal was first."
"Angela said she was going to marry the bug guy, too. Just dance with your FBI agent partner."
"She's right, Bones. Someone needs to get this thing going. Let's dance." Booth took her hand and pulled her into the middle of the empty dance floor, nodding at the DJ as he did.
As the slow music filled the room, Booth placed his arms around Brennan. Soon, they were swaying to the music, lost in their own world.
Caroline followed the dancing couple with her eyes as she asked, "How is Dr. Brennan taking her father's arrest?"
Cam shrugged. "She seems to be taking it in stride. She says she understands that Booth needed to arrest him."
"MmmHmm."
They stood in silence, watching the partners glide around the room. As they danced, other couples began to join them until the dance floor was filled with people.
One song ended and another began, but Booth and Brennan kept dancing. Finally, Cam turned to Zach. "Hey Zach, it looks like they've set up the buffet. Let's go get some food, OK?"
"OK. Are Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth going to dance like that all night?"
Caroline snickered. "I hope so, cherie."
