Ephemeral Moments
Chapter 7 – With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept
"I can hardly keep my eyes open." Bones said as she opened the door.
"My brain is overworked." Booth said, from behind her.
"I just want to crawl into bed." She murmured as she climbed the stairs that seemed twice as steep now.
"My chest is so tight, my gut worn out. I put my whole soul into this case. God, it hurts." Booth said, dragging behind her and up the stairs.
"I feel like retiring. I'm getting too old." Booth slowly said as they walked past the bathroom.
"Don't say that. We're both only sixty. Juliana is only twenty-four. We're not old until she's thirty."
"Okay. But I still feel old." He said, walking into the bedroom.
"Don't worry, I feel it too. But think, Carson is only twenty as well. we're too young to feel old." She said. he laughed a little, as they kicked off their shoes.
"Good night." They say in unison, and just fall on top of the bedcovers, not bothering to change their clothes or anything, just sleeping, after a long and hard case.
A/N: I'm not that happy with this chapter. But no writer is totally satisfied with his or her work. A review of this would be great, make me better, because I don't like it. I just don't really. We'll see. I could alter and repost this chapter later. Unless I'm told otherwise.
