Brennan pulled up to her apartment complex and sighed. She slid her hands slowly down the steering wheel and lay them in her lap. Her forehead rested on the horn and she remembered a time where things were less complicated between her and Booth…or where they?

Left and Right

"Booth, where are you going?" Brennan looked around outside the car, annoyed.

"Bones, I got it, alright! Geez! A little trust here would be nice." Booth leaned back in his seat and slumped on his fist, against the window.

"It has nothing to do with trust. It has everything to do with making it to the dock on time." Brennan sighed and leaned towards her window. "Besides, you know I trust you. I don't know why you keep bringing up the trust issue."

Booth blew air through his pursed lips.

They drove silently for a couple minutes, until Brennan got fidgety again.

"Bones, now what is the matter?" Booth stopped her from looking into her bag.

"I am looking for the directions." Brennan talked under her breath. "I knew we should have brought my GPS."

"We do NOT need your GPS! You don't need a GPS." Booth smirked.

"And why is that?" Brennan raised her eyebrows.

"Because, you have me." Booth wiggled his eyebrows at Brennan.

Brennan rolled her eyes and smiled slightly. Booth turned the car and continued driving.

"Booth! Now I know you are lost." Brennan stretched around to look for a street sign. "The water is east of here and you are driving north!"

"I know where I am going! This way is a shortcut." Booth continued driving.

Brennan sat for a while and reached down and pulled the directions out.

"Bones! I got it!" Booth frowned as Brennan stared intently at the directions in front of her.

Brennan's eyes grew wide. "BOOTH! You were supposed to turn right at that last road, not left." Brennan looked out the window. "Okay, I can fix this-"

Booth ripped the paper out of his partner's hands. He studied the directions and cursed under his breath.

Booth stopped the car and turned it around.

Brennan reached over and turned on the siren.

"Bones, what the-" Booth reached up and turned the siren off. "I told you not to touch that!"

Brennan rolled her eyes and looked out the window. Booth threw the directions back at her and looked at Brennan.

"Read this for me." Booth said quietly.

Brennan did not react at first.

"Please?"

Brennan reached down and pick up the directions. She read them carefully.

"You should turn left on 2nd Avenue." Brennan said quietly.

"Left?" Booth questioned.

"Right." Brennan looked up.

Booth turned the SUV right.

"BOOTH!" Brennan bellowed throughout the car.

Booth swerved the SUV and hit the brakes.

"GEEZ! What!" Booth's patience was wearing thin.

"You were supposed to turn left! If you are not going to listen to my directions-"

"YOU SAID RIGHT!" Booth threw his hands up in the air.

"I meant right, as in you were correct!" Brennan put her hand up to her mouth. She was trying to contain her laughter.

"Bones, this is not funny." Booth turned the car around again and got them going in the right direction.

Brennan could not contain herself. Her giggles became a fit of laughter. Booth furrowed his eyebrows and looked at his partner.

"What is with you Bones?" Booth couldn't help but smile.

"Right…correct…you thought…" Brennan could hardly breathe.

Booth looked at his partner looking at her in amazement. He pulled up to the dock, just to see the ferry pull away.

"So, we have an hour to wait." Booth said sheepishly. Brennan was still laughing and no longer cared that they had missed the boat.

Booth got out of the car and Brennan saw him in a new light. She saw the look in his eyes as he rounded the front of the vehicle. For the first time, she thought she saw something that was there, something right.

Booth opened her car door and ushered her out to the nearest little café.

Brennan smiled and felt something she hadn't ever felt before.

She questioned the feeling and wondered what was happening between her and the man she knew as Seeley Booth.

Brennan thought about bringing this new turn of events up to her partner, but he looked so happy as they ate in the little café.

She left it alone.

It seemed like the right thing to do.
