Bones
She seemed like she was going crazy everyone was enveloped in their own world Angela and Hodgins were having a baby , Cam had her daughter Michelle . Sweets and Daisy were working things out. And she was the only one alone. She felt like an outcast.
And their latest case jerked up the emotions she was trying so hard repress. She knew she is been irrational thinking that their latest victim was her. But she could identify with the doctor who rejected the pilot and the doctor who never wanted to take a chance, she was too dedicated to her work and no one even noticed she was gone.
She thought may be if she worked extra hard to solve her murder that she will be ok. But the closer she got to the case her own regrets kept rushing back.
She was almost knocked down just like the doctor except she had Booth . she was alive and Lauren was dead because Booth has once again saved her life. She had no right to destroy his.
Bur the sleepless nights and regrets got the better of her and she ended up confessing her feelings and regrets to Booth.
But he calmly laid out the facts for her saying he loved Hannah now. And she knew he was right but she couldn't hold back her tears.
He always kept putting her first be it putting himself in front of a bullet or escaping from a hospital to save her from psychopath. She can't be selfish with him anymore.
Booth
Why had she done it. Why did she confess her love to him now when she knew very well he was with Hannah.
He didn't want to believe her, didn't want to take a chance again about getting his heart broken again
But that annoying small voice in his head doesn't let him forget that how much he wanted to believe Bones ,He really wanted to drive away with her at that moment instead of dropping her outside her apartment.
But instead he gave her a talk which sounded fake even to him how Hannah is not a consolation prize and it's serious. What he didn't tell her was he was settling for the second prize. That he didn't feel like a winner or the fact that he owed it to Hannah to be faithful to her as she followed him halfway around the world whilst Bones ran away from him to the other corner of the world.
But he was still feeling guilty because in his hearts of hearts he knew that Bones was first in his list and he would never love Hannah the way that he loves Bones.
In fact he was looking for a good enough reason to justify why Hannah should be the consolation prize hoping may be Parker will reject her. But Hannah made a real effort to connect with Parker and he ended up getting along with her although not in the way Parker was totally smitten and in awe of Bones He is a bit too much like him they were both helpless when it came to brilliant Temperance Brennan.
And so he decided there was only one thing he could do to keep his wondering two timing heart in place. He has to propose to Hannah. As soon as he can.
