Thanks everyone for the comment! It means alot to me. I agree, I think I slipped up making her alive again. But now, I can go through the whole thing where everyone has to forgive her and because Temperance is so logical then she won't actually understand why they feel so betrayed. Sounds fun, huh ? haha :) xxx

Booth sat in his office, drumming his fingers on his desk. He stared into space, he couldn't understand the mixture of emotions he was feeling. He felt angry that she was alive and she didn't tell him, sad because everyone was mad at her and relieved that he was still alive because of her. Overall, he just wanted to give her a hug and tell her that he understands, even though he didn't. He sighed, shoving his hands into his pants when he suddenly felt something. He pulled out his letters, he flipped through them and smiled. He was glad that he didn't have to use them, although he needed to say some of the things on there to all of his friends, like how much they meant to him.

"Angela, Hodgins and Zack, Cam, Parker, Rebecca - wait, wheres Bones' letter ?" Booth questioned himself.

He shoved his hands back into his pockets, searching for them but it wasn't there.

"Oh no, it can't be!" murmured Booth, standing up and running out of his office.

Temperance watched Booth walk away.

"I just wanted to help!" she murmured.

She dropped her head in her hands, she didn't understand why they were all angry with her - she was trying to save them from going through the same pain her and Hodgins did! She lifted her head back up, she let out a deep breath and looked around her office; god, she missed being at work. Suddenly, a piece of paper on the floor caught her attention. Temperance got up, kneeled down and picked up the piece of paper, taking it back to her desk. She wondered what it was, maybe a sheet of new evidence from an investigation ? She unfolded the paper and began to read ...

Dear Bones,

Well, Im here. The Gravedigger has caught me, Im now held hostage although I have 24 hours worth of air as Im alone. This feels so weird, being all alone with no-one to talk to. Im scared, Bones, really really scared and I can't control it. I wish you were here with me, somehow I know that I would feel safer if I was with you.

I read your letter to me, while you were in the same position that Im in now. Congratulations, you actually made an FBI agent cry! I've never felt so alone in my whole life, I need you Bones. You told me to not blame myself, but I can't help it - would it be different if I had just paid the ransom ? That question burns in my head and I will never know the answer. I know that you gave your life for Hodgins, you made the ultimate sacrafice for one of your friends, you are much braver then me.

I had a dream the other day. That I still didn't pay the ransom, yet we found you and Hodgins both alive, we had saved you in time! But, it was just a stupid dream that had got my hopes up then crushed them like a bug. I told Angela the dream, she has been amazing throughout this whole thing. You chose an amazing best friend, Bones! You really did, I've never met anyone more caring.

To be honist, I love you too. I just hate knowing now that we'll never have that future together. I wish I had told you, we could have grown old together and have loads of grandchildren. I regret alot of things in my past, but not telling you how I really feel is my biggest one. Everyone saw it, Angela and the whole squint squad! But we denied it, guess we shouldn't have now.

Your right, until I die then I guess it really is goodbye. But, seen as Im stuck here until I run out of air - you might be seeing me sooner. Thank you, Bones. Im more intelligent now, and you changed me into the man I am today. See you soon.

Yours always,

Booth.

"Oh my god!" murmured Temperance, reading the letter again.

Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. She looked up to see Booth, scratching his kneck and walking in awkwardly.

"Hey Bones, I was just wondering if there were any stray pieces of paper in here ?" asked Booth, stood still in the doorway while his eyes darted around the room.

Temperance stood up and walked over to him, still holding onto the piece of paper. He looked at her with a questioning look, whilst hoping that she hadn't read the paper. She threw her arms around his kneck and began to kiss him passionatly. He put his hands on her waist, kissing her back gently.
