Booth immediately followed her.

He couldn't stand the thought that he had somehow let Angela down as well.

"Ange! Wait!!!"

He was relieved when he saw her stop and turn around.

She was crying.

He quickly pulled her in a hug.

"I'm sorry, Booth, I..."

"Shh, Ange, it's okay."

They stood there for a moment, thinking the same thing.

"This feels good, but I'd rather be hugging Tempe."

They both pulled back in the same moment and Ange said:

"Why don't we go see if she has calmed down yet?"

He nodded and they walked towards her room.


"Miss, you can't go home, yet!"

"You are still recovering, you..."

"First, it's DOCTOR Brennan."

"And second, it is my body, MY decision!"

"If I want to go home, I'm going home."

"THAT is final!!!"

She wanted to leave the room when the doctor, Angela and Booth walked in.

With a sigh she sank down on the bed.


Angela was the first one to speak.

"Sweetie, could you tell me what is going on here?"

She didn't look up as she answered.

"My body temperature is back to normal, Ange. I want to go home."

Angela shot a warning look at Booth, the doctor and the nurse, warning them not to argue with her.

At least not in front of Bren.

She walked over and hugged her friend.

"Than you should go home Bren."


The doctor and the nurse didn't understand, Booth however did.

She is much better of at home, where she can relax and finally start dealing with what has happened to her.

To us.

"Angela is right, Temperance."

She looked up at him.

"If you feel ready, you should go home."

"Why don't you get dressed and ready, I'll go take care off the discharge papers, okay?"

He turned around and started walking out the room.

The doctor soon followed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"You're not a doctor! You don't know if she is ready to leave."

Booth looked the doctor in the eye and said:

"No, I don't."

"But she heals best, if she can deal with what happened in her own way."

"We've tried your way. It didn't work."

"Let's give this a chance."
