Ok, officially the shortest chap/epilogue I've ever written. The sequel will be called 'Family Ties' and will be up after I finish up some of my other fics.

(--------------------)

Temperance Brennan finished high school. She worked her way through collage as an assistant to a professor named Micheal Stires. She graduated with a degree in Forensic Anthropology. Some time in her Senior year, she got her own apartment, and moved out of Angela Montenegro's with her cadaver and police dog, Angel. An internship at the Jeffersonian Institute started her career.

Tempe worked abroad at many mass dig sites, had a run in with some gang leaders in Peru, and identified Civil War soldiers. Her life was simple, yet she wished for more.

Although she frequently searched the FBI databases for a 'Seeley Booth', she never found him.

Until the day he walked back into her life, and into her heart.
