#37- Eyes

Eyes can tell you so much about a person. And, as Brennan discovered when she took a good look at Ripley, they can tell you a lot about a dog too. She felt a connection with Ripley the moment she looked into his eyes. They were a deep shade of brown. They seemed so familiar, so warm, so comforting. Looking into those eyes, as illogical as it sounded, made her feel safe. There was just something about them. She was interrupted from her thoughts by Booth walking into her office.

"Whoa, what are you doing?" he asked.

She looked up at Booth and suddenly realized why Ripley's eyes had seemed so familiar and reassuring. They were just like Booth's.
