Signs

Brennan glanced at Booth. They were at Hodgins' (and now Angela's) house, celebrating the couple's recent marriage. Cam had left already, saying something about getting home for Michelle. Angela and Hodgins had left the room (probably engaging in intercourse. At least, that's what Brennan hoped. If they had left in the hopes that once alone, she and Booth would also engage in sexual intercourse, they were mistaken).

That left Booth and Brennan alone, something that should have been awkward considering recent events. He had kissed her, wanted them to be together, but she said no. It was still there, that awkward feeling, but they were close enough friends to get past that. At least, Brennan hoped so.

Right now, they were drinking beers and watching a football game, something that Brennan wouldn't have normally done. Still, she had to admit that it was interesting to watch men with alpha male tendencies chase after a ball and tackle each other.

"I'm gonna get some more dip," Booth said after polishing off the rest. "Want some?" He left before she could respond, however. She hadn't touched the dip before, and she probably wouldn't have some now.

Dip, a big screen TV, watching something together. That sounded so familiar before she figured it out. The case with baby Andy! Of course they weren't at a house that she bought there, but everything else was close enough. If she had believed in signs, this would have definitely been one. But she never did believe in them, and besides, she wasn't ready to be in a relationship with Booth. But suddenly, never turned into someday, and the idea didn't scare her so much anymore.
