Temperance Brennan's hair was splayed across Angela's lap, auburn playing over wrinkled khaki and Angela didn't dare move. Brennan had fallen asleep against the window of the black SUV, and Angela's heart and her hands moved on impulse, gathering her up, pulling her close. Brennan sighed, collapsed and settled down, pulling her knees closer to her chest. Angela's deft fingers moved gently through Brennan's hair in comforting repetition.
Booth glanced in the rear view mirror and Angela's eyes met his for a moment. She glanced out the window, casual and composed, but she let her hand leave Brennan's hair and trail down a slender arm, a soft shoulder, and come to rest on the landscape of Brennan's waist. Booth's eyes flashed dark and confused and he returned his attention to the road, but suddenly they were driving through the rough terrain of contested territory.
