Suddenly she turned back. "It means you broke my heart Booth! That's what it means! So excuse me for not exactly caring if I don't end up with the perfect guy, 'cause I've already tried to be with the perfect one, but that didn't work."
"I was with Hannah! Be fair Bones!"
"I am being fair! You should've waited!""I couldn't have wasted my whole life Bones!""Then I obviously didn't matter!"
Her chest was rising and falling heavily as she gasped in breaths. A tear fell from her eye and she quickly swiped it away with the back of her hand.
"Oh Bones…" he touched her shoulder before going to pull her in for a hug.
"Don't touch me," she snapped.
"You know what Bones?"
"What?""Sully didn't love you enough either. He left to go sailing on a boat."
"A boat he named after me."
"And he left without you. If he knew you were the one he wouldn't have done that."
"You just proved how right I am!"
"Yeah Bones. I fucked up. It happens. I lost the best thing in my life, and now she won't take me back all because of one stupid mistake," he punched the wall of his apartment and broke through it. "One minor screw up and you can't forgive me!"
"I'm sorry Booth…"
"Sorry for what?"
"I'm sorry for everything. How this worked out."
"How exactly did this work out Bones?"
"With me marrying another man."
"Run away with me."
"What?"
"Run away. With me. We can leave tonight, we can leave right now. I don't care. Just leave Washington D.C. Go someplace that means something to the both of us. Do something to make us grow closer, to make up for this stupid fight and all the bad feelings."
"Booth, it's not rational-"
"Bones, I don't care what's rational. All I know is I want to leave this place for a week, with you."
"Well…alright. I'll tell Sully it's for a case, but that no one's supposed to know-"
"No. Don't tell Sully. Don't tell anyone. Just leave, with me."
"Right now?"
"Right now. As soon as I take you home to pack a suitcase. Let's run away Bones," he started laughing.
"Where are we going to go?"
"Aurora. My best memories with you are there. Apart from the Christmas kiss. Vegas is a close second. I'll get us the same hotel room and we'll go to the same bar and dance all night. Bones, I'm gunna make you love me. I don't care how long it takes."
