"Are they all gone?" Booth said coming back down the stairs. She nodded and smiled at him. It was over she had made it through without revealing who she was.
Booth had arrived home a half an hour ago while all the women were still there. He had said hello and had gone upstairs to have a shower. It had all going well for her until they all started saying who they thought Agent Andy Lister was and she very nearly cracked.
"…It was probably her partner." Mary said.
"Yes she dedicated her second book to him didn't she?" Tina added.
"That was sweet." Orla smiled.
"You can't still think there was nothing between them!" Marie said to the group.
'If only they knew' Brennan thought to herself.
"That would have been highly inappropriate though." Tina raised her eyebrow.
"That's what I thought too!" Brennan blurted out. "But maybe it isn't." she said mostly to herself but out loud. "I mean wasn't…" The four women looked at her with puzzled looks. It was then that Booth had looked in.
He walked into the room and sat on the couch beside her.
"They left about ten minutes ago." She leaned back into him.
"Thank God that's over. Maybe now we can relax. And by we I mean you." he laughed.
"I am relaxed!" she said.
"I'm not even going to argue." He smiled.
"Good." She thought for a minute. "Booth…"
"Yes?"
"I think we'll be ok here." She said and she flicked on the TV.
"Me too."
