The confirmation in the feelings

Hannah's POV:

.

I had mixed thoughts about the conversation in the Diner that day… Overall I was sad, knowing that people that knew Seeley and Temperance… Betsy had surely 'overheard' a lot of conversations – thought that they belonged together. I got a feeling that Betsy had them for some sort of love fairytale. Then there's Sweets, he said they have a unique relationship…

I really have to go talk to that kid... I thought, sitting in my car and starting to drive towards the Hoover. Seeley had gone to the Jeffersonian, so we wouldn't be bumping into each other, thankfully. The last thing I needed was him, asking me what I was doing there.

.

I went over the conversation the three of us had in my head. They had both been honest and didn't appear to be lying, except it seemed like they were stealing glances at each other all the time; as though they were not telling me everything. Just like Betsy had said, it was a part of their relationship, which I would never understand and know of. As Seeley's girlfriend, I had the right to know about his current relationships and because he wouldn't provide me with all the information, I was entering Dr. Sweets' office.

.

"Dr. Sweets," I said with a polite smile.

"Hannah," he smiled nervously. "Did Booth tell you…?" I could tell that he was nervous and even a bit scared of my reaction to this whole fiasco.

"Yes," I reassured him and he exhaled loudly, plopping down in his armchair.

"Okay… So what do you think of the whole situation?"

"I'm not entirely sure yet… Seeley and Temperance gave me a glimpse into their past today and, well, I'm not sure they've said everything, and then they got a suspect for the case and had to leave. I was wondering… They haven't told me much about that book of yours… mostly they talked about their cases and that Pam woman.…" I was still disgusted by her, so my voice got strangled, because I kept thinking about that scar on Seeley's chest; the scar he got, because he jumped in front of a bullet that was meant for his partner.

"Maybe you could tell me more about your masterpiece," I smiled nicely, trying to charm him.

"It'll be out soon." He said it like he didn't want to be the one to tell me the secret that I knew Seeley and Temperance were keeping from me.

I got agitated by his answer, probably too much, but there had to be something about that book that made Seeley anxious about me reading it. I had a feeling in my gut.

"What's its conclusion?" I asked bluntly and with determination.

Something was still telling me, that I didn't want to hear the answer to it, but the curious side of me wouldn't let me back down.

He hesitated and contemplated his answer for a long time.

"Oh, come on! I'll read the book either way. You might as well tell me about it now!" I threw my hands in the air in frustration.

He stood up, went to his book shelf and took a book from it. Satisfied, thinking he'd give me a preview of his book, I smiled gratefully.

"Thank you," I said, as I looked down and noticed the name of the author of the book; Temperance Brennan. My expression turned frustrated and confused, which he, as a psychiatrist, most likely noticed.

"Open it." He said with no emotion in his voice.

I did what he asked and turned to the dedication page.

Dedicated to my partner and friend, Special Agent Seeley Booth.

My mouth opened and I let out a sigh.

.

It wasn't really much, I mean, people dedicate their books to other people all the time, yet this seemed like such an intimate gesture. My eyes set on the word friend and I realized they were that and so much more. That was the moment it became clear to me. I was only going to be a variable in his life and she would be the constant; always by his side. A friend, in sickness and in health. Oh god, that sounded familiar!

.

Thanks for reading… Please tell me what you like and dislike about that chapter, because, somehow, I'm not sure of what I think of it :-/ If school goes fine, the next one should be up in a week, so keep your fingers crossed :P And (sorry for rambling) sorry if my ANs are not in correct English lol
