Brennan was silent in the car on the way back. She wanted to ask him what he had done but she knew that he wouldn't tell her.
"So Bones what are the other women like?" Booth asked.
"They're alright. But they all have the same story. Got married straight out of school, housewives with kids. The exact same as Mary. I don't see Booth how they can do it! Children take over your life for years!
"I think we've had this conversation before Bones. And it ended with you in a sulk."
"I don't sulk!" she pouted.
"Sure Bones." He pulled into their drive. They both got out. Brennan crossed in front of the car and took the keys off him.
"Where are you going?" she stepped around him. He blocked the door handle with his hand.
"B… David there is no food in the house! I intend to go shopping and correct that. You can come if you want but I'm driving." She raised an eyebrow.
"You know what, I have some shelves to hang don't I."
"Yes you do." She nodded and turned to try and open the car door again. But he didn't move his hand.
"Don't look now Bones but we're being watched." He leaned in and whispered into her ear. He put his arm up against the top of the car pinning her in. it reminded her of their second case together. When he had followed her into the shooting range. He laughed quietly and his breath tickled her throat. He leaned back and took her chin in his hand.
"Are you ok Emz? She nodded puzzled. "I mean really alright."
"I'm ok. I miss everything."
"I know." He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"What are…"
"Mary's still watching." He walked away into the house. Shaking herself out of her daze and got into the car. Across the road a curtain twitched.
