Well needless to say I was so broken hearted for Brennan in last night's episode. Emily is a great actress and she makes me feel her pain.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones or any of the characters.
What happens now that Booth knows that Brennan loves him?
After dropping Bones at home I head home myself. My thoughts are filled with our conversation.
"I made a mistake...She died with regrets"
"Bones, everybody has regrets"
"I heard her you know...I got the signal Booth. I don't want to have any regrets"
"I'm with someone...Bones...and Hannah, she's not a consolation prize...I love her...You know, the last thing I want to do is hurt you but those are the facts"
"I understand...I missed my chance...my whole world turned upside down...I can adjust"
"I did"
"Yes you did"
I've never seen her so...broken? I guess that's the best way to describe her, broken. I told her Hannah's not a consolation prize and she isn't. She's a beautiful, smart, independent woman who wants to be with me. She wanted to be with me so badly she left her job and her nomad life to settle down with me in my life. That should make me the happiest man in the world. It should...but it doesn't.
I was happy with her. I was happy with her in Afghanistan. I was happy with her yesterday. I was even happy with her just a few hours ago. So, why am I unhappy now?
I know the answer; it's a rhetorical question. The answer is...because the only woman I've ever truly loved is broken. She's broken and it's because of me. No it's not entirely my fault. I asked her to give us a chance. To give us a shot but she turned me down. And it broke me. Oh I knew she wasn't ready. I knew that what I was asking her scared her. But I let that 12 year old convince me it was time. I gambled and I lost and it broke me. So I know how she feels. I know what it's like to be broken.
Please let me know your thoughts.
