“Hey, Booth,” she greets him as she pulls up a chair and sits across from him. She smiles. Her eyes sparkle. Must be done with the case, he decides.
He flicks his eyes up to meet her and can immediately feel the effect she has on him. It’s like his insides are melting and he’s almost prepared to believe that no evil will walk the earth ever again. Almost.
She is a light in the darkness and she never loses. Well, okay, there were times she hadn’t quite come out ‘victorious’. She always got back up though. The point was she never gives up fighting for what’s right. She’s unmoving in her beliefs.
“Bones,” he murmurs back, still staring into her eyes.
She looks at him strangely, quirks an eyebrow. “Is everything okay?” she asks. “You seem… different.”
He mentally shakes himself from his thoughts and reaches across the table to take her hand in his. He squeezes it gently, rubs the pad of his thumb over her skin.
“I’m great,” he tells her. “Perfect, in fact.”
“Right.” Disbelief.
He tears his eyes from hers, releases her hand and taps a finger on the tabletop. “You hungry?” he asks in an attempt to divert her attention.
“Hunger is usually the reason one goes to a diner,” she replies with a slight smile.
“Right. Of course.” He gestures to a waiter. “How about we order then?”
She narrows her eyes at him and studies him as if he’s lost his mind.
“What?”
