Booth pulled into the Cemetery carpark. Booth and Angela both got out of the car and began to walk to Temperances grave. Amazingly, Angela had calmed down and now only a few tears were rolling down her smooth face.
"Angela ?"
"Yes Booth ?"
"Was I a good parnter to Bones ?" asked Booth, taking a large gulp.
"Oh, sweetie! There's something I need to give you" she smiled, pulling a piece of paper out of her handbag.
"What is it ?" questioned Booth, taking the piece of paper.
"Just read it. I'll be over here talking to Bren" smiled Angela weakly.
Booth nodded, he decided to give Angela some space so he went and sat on the bench on the far side of the Cemetery. He sat down and unfolded the paper, he recognised Temperances writing immeadianly.
Dear Booth,
I have a feeling that by time this paper reaches you, I will be long gone. Whatever happens, however this turns out, I want you to promise me one thing; to NOT blame yourself. I know for a fact, and Im very good when it comes to knowing the facts, that you had searched for us. I hope, not saying that I believe in hope, that you have not paid the ransom as I would hate to waste all that money. During my time underground, there was one thing that I thought about the whole time -"
"I really hope it isn't something to do with work" said Booth, giving a watery laugh.
and that was you. I had spent so many years building up walls, yet within the second I met you - you tore those walls down and proved to me that I didn't need them. You helped me see the world, a different world that I had seen - a world where I was loved and treasured. For that, I thank you Seeley Booth.
You were the best thing that had ever happened to me. You never abandoned me, even though I was far to stubborn and annoying, and I can't explain how much that means to me. Remember, when we had just met McVickor the pig farmer ? I was so lost, not knowing who I was anymore. But you helped me, you took me in your arms and said 'I know who you are!' and you truly did. You helped me through the darkness and into the light.
You were the most amazing partner and friend I've ever had. We may of had our 'bickers' but you meant the world to me. I love you, more then a friend but Im guessing that if you reading this then I never got to tell you that. I hoped that one day, maybe we could put the murders and death behind us and focus on having a future together.
I may be gone, but I hope Im not gone from your heart. I love you, whether Im here or not because I will always be a part of you, although not literally. And maybe because of your beliefs then one day we might reunite but until then ... I guess its goodbye.
"Oh my god" gasped Booth, tears began to pour down his face.
"Its Ok, Sweetie" cried Angela, pulling Booth into a hug.
They both sat on the bench, hugging and crying into one anothers shoulders. They had both lost their best friend, but to them - she was so much more.
