Well, we have reached the end **tear** and I really hope you have enjoyed this story.

Enjoy – here we go!

(This is where the line break should be)

7:00am

"Well, I have to go to work. I'll see you at lunch Brennan said quietly, leaning down over the back of the couch and kissing Booth's cheek softly.

"Maybe I'll see you before lunch?" he asked cockily, flashing her a sleepy smile.

"Maybe. You're the one who gets the cases, so I should be the one asking you," Brennan pointed out, grabbing her keys and bag from the bench.

"Don't use logic on me this early in the morning, please," Booth asked.

"Fine, but you need to leave for work in half an hour so you should probably get up and shower soon. Love you, bye," the words slipped unknowingly from her lips before she could stop them.

Hurrying out of her apartment, she closed the door behind her swiftly. Biting her lip nervously, Brennan glanced quickly at the door before making her way quickly to the elevator.

Leaning against the inner wall of the elevator, Brennan sighed in relief at the fact Booth hadn't noticed or, if he had, acted upon her slip. Moments after pressing the ground button, Brennan flinched when a half-naked figure sped through the elevator doors seconds before they closed shut.

Brennan barely had time to take in a breathless Booth, dressed only in his boxers and stripy yellow and purple socks, before he pulled her sharply to him. Their lips met instantaneously as each and every contour of their bodies molded together in a sweet embrace.

"So, you love me?" Booth whispered hoarsely against her lips.

"You caught that, huh?" she asked sheepishly, pulling back a little.

"Oh, I caught that, alright; wouldn't have missed it for the world," Booth admitted bringing her lips back to his aggressively.

He pulled back momentarily to say, "Just so you know, I love you too."

The elevator 'pinged' as it reached ground level and the doors opened automatically.

"I'll see you at lunch, if not before," Brennan said smiling, pecked his lips one last time, and disembarked the elevator.

10:47am

"Hey, Booth. Oh, have we got a new case?" Angela said excitedly as Booth made his way towards the forensic platform.

"Yeah, we sure do. Could you gather up Cam, Hodgins and whatever anthropologist is going to be assigned to the case?" Booth asked, eyes on Brennan as she examined a bone, not aware of Booth's presence; yet.

Sneaking up behind her on the forensics platform, Booth startled her by saying loudly near her ear, "Whatcha up to, Bones?"

"Booth!" she jumped, turning around and getting caught up in Booth's arms, "don't startle me like that."

"Sorry," he feigned apology, "but you look so cute when you're scared."

"Have you got a new case?" Brennan asked, truly interested.

Booth nodded, "yeah. A body was found half covered in leaves in a Christmas tree farm. I miss going out in the field with you."

"Yeah, me too." She leant up and kissed him lightly on the lips, lingering for a moment and then said, "You better get going. Cam's waiting."

12:32pm

"Food already on the table? This is great service," Brennan said, surprised when she walked into the diner to see Booth sitting at their usual table, their usual meals hot and ready on the table.

As she went to sit down on her usual side opposite him, Booth grasped her wrist and tugged on her arm slightly to pull her down onto the seat next to him. Wrapping one arm around Brennan's shoulder, Booth picked up his fork in his other hand and began eating.

"Why am I sitting next to you today? I've always sat opposite you –"

"Bones, I just want to be near you. Okay?"

"Okay," she complied.

2:19pm

Pulling off her gloves, Brennan hurried down the stairs and into her office to answer her phone.

"Brennan?" she answered, puffing slightly.

"Hey, Bones, what're you up to?"

"I was just identifying a set of remains from Limbo, and then you called," Brennan said.

"Oh, sorry, did I interrupt you?"

"No, don't apologise. It's fine really."

"Well, I called because, I miss you. And I'm getting really bored of paperwork."

"Booth, it is irrational to miss me when we only left the diner just over half an hour ago," Brennan sighed, his words touching her, "Anyway, I thought you had a case?"

"Yeah, I do, but there's nothing I can do at the moment until the victim is identified, so Cullen sent me back to my office to do paperwork."

"That's too bad. Well, I should probably get back to work; and so should you. I'll see you back at your apartment after work. I should be there by about 5."

"5, I got it. Love you."

"I love you."

4:55pm

"Hey, Dr Brennan, what time were you planning on leaving?" Cam asked, popping her head in Brennan's office door.

"Umm, now, actually," Brennan said, placing her laptop in her bag and putting on her coat.

Proceeding to turn off all the lights and locking her door, Brennan turned to Cam and said, "I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Sure thing, Dr Brennan. Say hi to Booth for me."

"Will do."

5:51pm

Booth got up off the couch to read the text message he'd just received.

It was from Brennan.

Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the highway and it's very built up. I may be a while.

He laid back down on the couch and turned on the TV.

8:08pm

The sound of the door shutting woke Booth and he jumped a little when he felt the couch sink a little.

"Sorry I'm late," she whispered, as she kicked off her shoes and Booth's arms wrapped around her.

"It's okay, I forgive you," he mumbled, slightly incoherent, "do you want me to make some dinner?"

"No, you're tired. Just sleep," she whispered, kissing himtenderly on the lips, "we'll order in some Thai later.

"Mmkay, I love you."

"Love you too."
