Chapter 2
the following day, Temperance Brennan's office, 6:30 am
Tempe decided to just go early on the lab today. She hasn't had a good night sleep. The incident between Cam and Booth kept on playing in her mind. She can't believe how jealous she was. She felt angry. She was about to hang her coat when she saw a bunch of lilies on her desk. She checked the card and it reads, I am sorry.. Please be at the Acousticz tonight, 9pm. Iloveu always, Seeley. She placed the card on her breast pocket and sighed. She checked on the lilies, they were all beautiful. She can't help but smile on the sight of her favorite flowers.
10:45 am, Medico Legal Lab
"Good work guys, that will be all. And Zack, I need all the notes before 2pm." Brennan said to her assistant who just nodded to answer her.
"Hey Bren, I saw Booth yesterday leaving the building." Ange said as she accompanies Brennan while leaving the lab.
"Yah, he was here. What's the catch; coz he does always leave the building." Brennan said without looking on Angela.
"He is frowning, a bit worried, as I observed. Do you two have a fight?"
"Yah, and I told him that I don't want to see his face ever again." She casually said.
"What?! What is it about?" Angela spoke.
"I saw him and Cam on that hallway; they were kissing and caressing, you know, that kind of stuff. I got pissed, he explained, I didn't believe it and now I don't want to see him ever again. In other words, we broke up."
"What did he said? Bren, Booth's a good guy. I know him. He won't hurt you. Maybe there's an explanation for it. You have to hear it."
"As I said, he explained but I didn't believe it."
"No, I mean, maybe you just hear it out, what I am trying to say is, you have to listen." Angela explained.
Brennan stopped and reached for the card she placed on her breast pocket. She handed it to Angela. Her friend grabs it and read it carefully.
"I know Booth would do this. Roses?"
"No, lilies. I'm not coming."
"Why not?!"
"For the third time Angela, I said, I don't want to see his face ever again."
They finally reached her office. Brennan enters.
"Sweetie, think about it. Booth loves you so much. Maybe that's the moment for you to
listen to him. Just think about it. I'll be in my space."
3:12pm
Zack already submitted the notes to her. She was reading it but can't seem to concentrate. She picked up the phone and pressed an extension number.
"Hey, it's me. Ange, are you free tonight?"
