Brennan awoke the next morning with two very important truths pounding in her head. First, she had had WAY too much to drink the night before. Second, she had done something so spontaneous that even she had never thought herself capable of such...well, it could only be explained as rash behaviour. She sat up and reached for the glass of water she always kept on the bedside table. Instead, she felt a man's watch.
Brennan froze. The last time a man had been in her room was...well...she actually never invited her dates home with her. Usually they ended up at his place. So then...Brennan was confused. She looked at the watch, realizing it was familiar to her. Suddenly, a feeling of dread began to seep from the pit of her stomach to every inch of her body. Her headache began to throb to the point that she could no longer keep her head elevated, so she lay back down, trying to figure out what she was doing with Booth's watch. Had she stolen it from him? Had he given it to her as a "wedding gift"? That seemed like something he would do. Then she turned over and the nausea that was just beginning to flood her body reached its peak. There, lying tangled in the sheets at her side, was a man whom she had been through many terrifying experiences with, including the life-altering one from the day before. There, still sound asleep, was Agent Seeley Booth.
