After a very long delay, due to illness and a dose of the real world coming into play, I am now able to post the remaining chapters to this one to bring it up to date for this season. I hope that this and the following chapters will meet with your approval. I have decided to continue this story into next season with the same basic focus. Gregg.

From the Journal of FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth:
April 26, 2010: Is it possible that God is somehow allowing a cruel irony to infect my life? I tell Bones two weeks ago that I have to move on. Now two weeks later I meet a lady and agree to a date. But guess what? She's beautiful, a scientist, and brunette. She's nice and is a professional when it comes to her job. The only difference between Catherine and Bones is that Catherine is polished and poised in social settings. Who am I kidding? I know this can't go anywhere. Every time I look at Catherine I'll only be seeing Bones and it's doomed to fail. Now that I've made yet another disastrous mistake personally, the icing on the damn cake is that Bones had lunch with Hacker. That pathetic pansy was just waiting for the perfect chance to swoop in and try for another shot at Bones, and I may have just given her the impetus to do something about her biological imperatives with that putz. I guess I may just have to play the hand I allowed to be dealt and see how it turns out. Gordon Gordon said a few months ago to have hope. Well, at the moment I can see what's left of my hope slowly flushing down the damn toilet.
From the Journal of Dr. Temperance Brennan:
April 26, 2010: I want Booth happy, and I know I made a serious mistake a couple of weeks ago, but I think I now know what Booth felt like when I dated Sully three years ago. Booth could have any woman he desires and yet he chooses someone so much like me physically, that it feels like a slap in the face. To make matters worse, I had lunch with Andrew. I know I promised Hank that I wouldn't date Andrew again, and I doubt that I will, as the lunch only reinforced my original views on the man. But do I continue having lunch with him on occasion to show Booth I can compartmentalize in the aftermath of my mistake, or do I let him know how I really feel? This is why I can't take a chance with Booth at this stage. I am so distraught over what should be nothing that I can't even determine a wise course of action. I only hope I can make everyone else believe that I am being supportive of Booth when I only want to tear out "Catherine's" eyes.
A/N: Nothing elaborate or flashy for this episode, just what I think would have been running through their heads on the personal dimension of the episode. I hope you enjoyed it. Gregg.
