Sometimes, things fit together.
Sometimes, one thing triggers another, and then another, and then another.
Flipping through the pages of one of her novels, he saw her dedication page, the one for him.
He thought of his promises to her- that he'd never let her fall; that there was someone out there for her to spend the rest of her life with.
"You've never loved somebody and didn't say it to them?"
Images flashed through his head. Her as Roxy in Vegas, clinging to him. Her with those cat-eye glasses on. Her, hands bound above her head, gag in her mouth, petrified. Her telling him she wanted to have a baby- his baby. Her onstage, microphone in hand, singing at the top of her lungs. Her offering him a bite of cereal. Her clutching him while ice skating, so she wouldn't fall. Her with baby Andy. Her dancing with him to Foreigner. Her face, full of concern, right after he woke up from his coma. Her kissing him in front of Caroline.
He stared at the already slightly rumpled yellow paper in his hand.
Booth makes me a better person. I trust his judgment- he always does the right thing, because he has integrity and a strong sense of justice. I appreciate him as not only a colleague, but a good friend. I don't know what I would do without him.
Sometimes, you can't stop yourself from doing the right thing.

I know, that was rude. But this is what you get. And I love it. If it isn't enough (and who are you kidding? it's not), read it twice. (: hehe...just kidding. well, not really.
Anyways- here's the bottom line. Tomorrow is my birthday! (Nope, really not kidding about this one! September 29!! yay!) I'm not going to say how old I'll be... (TWENTY!!!) but you should give me an amazing birthday present- the gift of a review! And the more reviews there are, the quicker the newest installment comes! So really, it's up to you when I update.
I think I've done a pretty good job keeping the requests for reviews simple and sweet, so I'm pulling out everything I have this time. Puh-leeaase review! It is my birthday, after all.
ALSO: everyone has been badgering me to share what was in that note that made him kiss her, and now I have! So that deserves an extra review! Not that you need another reason, right??! :D
LOVE you guys.
