"Do you trust me, Booth?" she asks, fixing him with a questioning stare. She runs a hand through her hair.
Booth glances up, quirks an eyebrow. His lips curl into a crooked smile. "Yeah, Bones. Of course. I thought you knew that. I trust you with my life."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. I do," Booth confirms. "Why? What brought this on?"
She shrugs a little too carelessly and he knows instantly that something is up.
He frowns.
"Bones?"
"I...uh...well, it's this counseling thing. I guess I'm reading too much into it."
"I thought you didn't believe in psychology."
"I don't, but Dr Sweet's brought up a few interesting points about us. Our relationship."
"Yeah." Booth scratches his head, just above his left ear. "Interesting points."
"It's probably nothing," she brushes it off. "I was just thinking."
"Yeah, it's probably nothing," Booth nods. "I do trust you though. I trust you more than anyone else. I'm here for you if you need it, you're here for me. Remember that, okay?"
She smiles. "I am here for you," she agrees. "And thank you."
"For what?"
She studies him closely, her smile widening. "Just thank you."
