They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Like the street lamp that goes out while you walk underneath it. Every moment it's gone, you wish more and more that it would light back up again.
This is how Temperance Brennan found herself now. Her partner of three years, Special Agent Seeley Booth, had taken a bullet for her and in the process, had gotten himself killed.
At first she had felt betrayed at this act; she couldn't comprehend why he would do such a thing. But as she thought about it, she realized that she would have done the exact same thing, had their roles been reversed.
This led her to the conclusion that Booth cared for her an extremely large amount. This thought then led her to believe that she also cared for him an extremely large amount. And as she kept thinking this over and over in her head, she came to realization that she was in love with the aforementioned Special Agent. Concurrently, she thought, he must have been in love with her.
She spent the next two weeks recalling moments spent with him. The little things he did, like the hand on the small of her back, and little things he had said, like telling her to try the pie, that made her feel even more love for him.
The one thing that still puzzled her though, was why did she had to admit this now, after he was gone? Typical.
