Continents, oceans, disparate expectations divide them.
Yet she sees Booth everywhere: the jut of his laryngeal prominence as he throws his head back and laughs at something she said, something she hadn't intended to be humorous; the calm of his eyes as they meet hers over a coffee mug; the wide horizon of his shoulders hunching as she tells him she is not that woman.
