Brennan had taken Christine and Meredith to Colonial Williamsburg for the day so Booth could have some father/son time with Parker. The men were headed to their favorite fishing spot.
They finally got there and put their lines in the water. It was time to catch up with each other. "Meredith is a really nice girl, Parker. Bones and I like her a lot."
"Yeah, she's nice. She's also really smart, and she has a great sense of humor. She's kinda shy, but when she relaxes around people she's lots of fun."
"How did you meet?"
"She goes to the girls' school that's affiliated with the church I attend. They came for one of the services. I noticed her right away. I wasn't looking for a girlfriend since I have to move back to the States soon, but things just happen, you know?"
Booth nodded. He'd experienced that himself. "Yeah, I know. I had a girlfriend when I met Bones, but I couldn't get Bones out of my mind."
"I love Meredith. She brings out the best in me. I think I'm motivated to do things well when I'm with her because I don't want her to think I'm a slacker. What she thinks is important to me."
"I feel that way about Bones...more than any other woman I've known."
"I've never felt like that about a girl. Most of the time I just thought girls were cute. This is different."
"Being in love does that to a guy. I'm glad you're happy, Parker."
"I'd be happier if we could figure out the long distance part of the relationship, but Meredith says we should just take a day at a time."
"She's right...enjoy what you have together now."
Parker smiled. "I guess so. Hey, Dad...I think you've got a fish…"
