Thank you so much for the reviews, you guys are so great!
Please keep them coming though :D
If you have any criticism or plot suggestions let me know, even a quick note letting me know you like or dislike my story :D
The next chapter is fairly short, but I felt it was a good place to stop.
If I get a lot of requests I might just post the next one before bed (it's evening here in Denmark) ;)
10 Dates - chapter 2
Booth walked out of the Jeffersonian looking like he had lost his whole world. Maybe he had. Temperance meant the world to him. Why did they both have to be so stubborn? He was crazy about her and he knew she felt the same way. At least he hoped she did.
The next few days Temperance avoided Booth like the plague. She didn't take his phone calls and every time he came to the Jeffersonian, she ignored him and made him get his info about the case from Hodgins, Zack or Angela.
Three days went by and still they had no evidence in the case and no hope of ever finding any. Booth was miserable. He missed his Bones. He wasn't used to going days without seeing her. She was a part of his life. A big part, and now she wasn't in it he felt a loss deep inside himself.
Temperance wasn't feeling much better. The Squints all noticed but decided to give her some space. Angela knew perfectly well the cause of Temperance's distress. She had seen the tormented look in Booths eyes and the way Temperance was ignoring him.
Deciding it was time for a girls chat, Angela knocked on her friend's door.
"Tempe" she said gently while peeling in the door.
"Hi Ange, what can I do for you?" Temperance asked in a very business like manner.
"No, Temperance, what can I do for you?" Angela asked back.
Temperance lifted her head from the file in front of her and met Angela's eyes.
Angela was shocked by the sadness in those eyes. Temperance looked like she hadn't slept in days, dark circles under her eyes and a daunt look on her face.
Angela quickly went to her friend and took her in her arms. For a minute, Temperance stiffened and fought against the embrace, but then Angela felt her let go. The tears started to run from Temperance's eyes, then sobs escaped her mouth and soon she was clinging on to her friend for dear life, crying for the first time in a very long time.
Angela rubbed circles on Temperance's back while trying to calm her friend down with soothing words.
"It's ok Bren. Let it go. It's ok. You need to cry. I'm here for you. I understand. He will too."
After a while Temperance calmed down and sat up to look at her friend.
"How did you know?" She asked.
Angela just smiled and her and hugged her once more.
