"You've been quiet today, Bones. Something on your mind?"
"I guess this weather has put me in a pensive mood. I've been thinking about important rainy days in my life."
"Important rainy days?"
Brennan sighed. It was hard to explain. "Like outside the pool hall when we kissed for the first time. It was raining. I have fond memories of that moment. I think that qualifies as an important day."
"Yeah." Booth smiled thinking about it. "Very important."
Brennan hesitated a minute. "I was also thinking about how you followed me that rainy night when we were investigating the doctor's death. You kept me from getting hit by a car."
Booth stared into his coffee cup. "I really don't like to remember that night. It's too painful to think about it."
"Why? You saved my life. I wasn't paying attention and would've been killed."
"Bones…." He hardly knew how to begin. "When you told me that you loved me, and I had to tell you that I was committed to being with Hannah, it was the most heart crushing thing I'd ever done. I knew how much I'd hurt you, and it tore me up inside to make you cry like that."
"That evening was important to me because I admitted my feelings to you, even though I knew I'd probably be hurt by doing so. You're a good man, Booth. Part of me wanted you to leave Hannah for me, but I knew in my heart you wouldn't do that. I was willing to take that risk because I knew I had grown and would be able to accept whatever happened. I was becoming strong enough to really love someone.
Booth smiled. "And that someone is me. Things worked out for the best, right?"
"Yes." She kissed him. " Things worked out very well."
