"I'm glad we're trying a new Thai place, Booth."
"Hey, it's Aubrey...but that's not Ms. Warren, is it?
"What? Where?" Brennan turned around to look.
"Don't be so obvious, Bones! Trust me. His dinner companion isn't your squintern."
"I don't see why that's an issue, Booth. You said he told you about this restaurant."
"The issue isn't seeing Aubrey here, it's seeing him with a different woman. I thought Aubrey and Ms. Warren were going at it hot and heavy. At least that's what he told me."
"Why can't they be dating each other and going out with other people at the same time? Ms. Warren seems open minded about relationships."
"Do you remember what happened when you dated two guys at the same time? It wasn't pretty, was it?" Booth grinned at Brennan.
"That was my fault for not making sure they understood the parameters of our relationships. And you did meddle in those relationships, if I recall correctly..."
"I was just trying to help you by pointing out how difficult it can be to juggle two relationships. Aubrey should know better."
"Maybe he and ended their relationship, or it could be strictly platonic. When we started working together we had a platonic relationship, Booth, and you didn't care who I dated."
Booth grimaced. "Actually, I did care quite a bit….Here they come. Act casual. Don't mention Ms. Warren!"
Aubrey seemed slightly uncomfortable. "Agent Booth! Dr. Brennan! I'm glad to see you decided to try my favorite restaurant. This is my friend, Sylvia. She's visiting from Chicago."
"Nice to meet you." Brennan smiled. "Will you be staying long?"
"Actually, I'm planning on moving to the area."
After Aubrey and Sylvia left, Booth shook his head. "I hope he knows what he's doing."
Brennan grinned. "Maybe he knows how to juggle."
