"Tempe, there is something I need to ask you, will you..."
"Will I what?" asked Temperance with a confused look on her face
Sully walked over to her and lead her over to the sofa "You should sit down," he said gesturing for her to sit.
Temperance went pale, "Sully is something wrong? Are you sick? If you are I know fantastic doctors..."
"Tempe, I'm not sick."
"What's wrong with you then? Why are you acting this way?"
"Tempe, we've been together for a while now, and you're always on my mind," Sully said, smiling at her.
Sully knelt in front of her and took her hands in his, "It means when I wake up in the morning, you are the first thought that comes to me and when I go to bed at night, you're the last person I think about. I love you Tempe."
"Okay," said Brennan, looking confused. "You came all the way to Vegas to tell me you loved me? Why couldn't you have told me that when I came back?"
Sully let out a breathe of air, "I didn't just come to Vegas to tell you that Temperance. I am here to ask you if you would like to go on a trip with me, on my boat."
"For a weekend? Sure," said Brennan smiling.
"I don't mean for a weekend, I mean for a year. I leave in a week."
Brennan stood up, "I need time to think," she replied.
Sully walked over to Tempe, "I understand, let's go to bed."
Tempe pushed him away, "Not tonight, I need to think without you in my hotel room."
"Tempe..."
"No, Sully, I need to be alone, I have a case where someone has had their heart stolen and I need to deal with what you just asked on my own." She walked over to the door and opened it, "Goodnight Sully."
Sully walked over to the door, he went to kiss Tempe on the lips, who moved her head in time, so he kissed her cheek instead. "Goodnight Tempe."
She shut the door behind him, then slid down the door and wept.
