2x05 – Booth 2

Did he just hear her right?

I'm sure Rebecca's not your only option for satisfying your biological urges.

No… no, she couldn't mean that. It's Bones we're talking about, she probably made a simple anthropological observation, the double entrance completely lost on her.

So he was glad that Hodgins and Angela interrupted them, for he was sure he'd make a fool of himself again otherwise.

And besides there were just some people you couldn't sleep with. He can't just have sex (there is nothing like just sex anyway) with Brennan because he did have it once with a woman that mattered to him a lot and the result is he's a father now, and they are not together and a lot of people got hurt, still does, and he can't-

"Hey, nice going by the way. Cam tells me you're back with your ex." Angela's voice interrupted him.

He looked at her, feeling slightly dazzled. "Cam." He repeated.

"Mmm." She nodded knowingly.

He glanced at Brennan, and she looked away as if ashamed. So much for keeping her mouth shut. "Cam in her office?" He asked, and without waiting for an answer, he left.

Nah, Bones definitely didn't mean anything by that comment and it's better that way, anyway. With Bones… too much at risk… their friendship, their partnership, his heart- Enough! But Cam he knew, and with Cam he knew where they stood. No strings, just pleasure. Nothing more.

Cam was a sure thing. Cam was safe.

Tbc Booth and Brennan - never on the same page, are they? I think this first major misunderstanding in a way shaped their relationship for years to come.

Thank you so much to those who review! I'm so happy you enjoy the series and find time to let me know that you do :)
