I remember telling Bren after Jack and I had left her and Booth standing at the altar that this was one of those time when I tell her what's going on so she can catch up to her own reality, and she's almost there.

Bren has always held people at arm's length, because the people she has loved have all left her in one way or another but also because people lie. Its why she has such a connection to the people who laid out on the autopsy tables, they cannot lie, the dead only tell the truth and as morbid as it might be she knows that she doesn't have to wade through what they are telling her, she knows they only reveal what really happened.

Booth has to be one of the more patient people that I have ever met, even after he knew that he loved her, whenever he finally pulled his head out, he knew that she couldn't accept that love yet, so he is waiting. Booth is lucky though that Bren is as dense as she is because the rest of us can see right through him. The hand on the back, dragging her out to go and get food, explain all the pop culture references, and just in general pulling her out of the lab and into the real world, they're all his way of saying I love her.

I accepted a while ago that I'm not her best friend any more, he is, and I'm ok with that. Booth can get her to do things that I never could. I'm sure he knows things and stories about her and I have never heard and probably could never guess.

Bren is a much better person for having Booth in her life and she knows that it's how I know that sooner rather than later she'll realize that he loves her, and the best part is she'll realize that she already loves him back.
