Booth let out a sigh as he fell back onto the bed. He'd known she wasn't ready to hear how he really felt, but he hadn't been able to stop the words. He should have eased her into it and instead he had scared her.
She had been reluctant to be in a committed relationship in the first place but he had convinced her to give it a shot and she had eventually agreed. They'd had a lot of fun together the last five months but tonight he hadn't been able to hide how he really felt anymore and before he could really think about it, he had told her he loved her.
Her reaction should have been expected but he'd hoped she was ready to accept it. Obviously he'd been wrong and now all he could do was pray that she wasn't ready to give up on them. He would give her a few days and then he would talk to her and get her to see that falling in love didn't have to be a bad thing.
