"Sweets!" Booth greeted as he let himself into his office. "I haven't seen you this morning."

"Yes, well, I thought I'd give you and Dr. Brennan time to adjust to her being back again. It's been quite a tumultuous week for the two of you."

Booth slouched on the couch, adjusting his tie. "I'm not here for you to get all shrinky on me, Sweets." Booth never lost the jovial tone to his voice, but it was clear to both of them what he was there for.

Sweets sighed. "I am hoping we can do this without a lot of drama."

Meeting his eyes, Booth waited. "But it's apparent to me that something definitely happened in my office that day," Sweets continued. "And I was wrong not to at least listen to what happened with a more open mind."

Booth hopped to his feet. "Thanks, Sweets. That was all I needed." He had his hand on the doorknob when Sweets voice stopped him.

"I'm going to need to see you and Dr. Brennan at some point. We're going to need to talk about what happened and where the two of you go from here. Hannah being gone will change things between the two of you."

He opened the door and turned back around. "We're fine, thanks," Booth said in his typical tone when asked about something personal. "There is nothing to discuss."

"I would disagree. A dramatic event like the two of you experienced can leave lasting effects," Sweets tried again.

Booth turned his back so Sweets couldn't see his smile. Yes, dramatic events could cause lasting effects, but luckily for him, those effects weren't always bad.
