Booth dropped me off to my apartment after he saved my life. He waited for me to enter my building before he pulled away. I opened my door slowly. A large mirror greeted me as I walked into my apartment. What I saw in the mirror did not please me. My hair was completely wet so it stuck to my face like a mop. My eyes were red from crying and my makeup was smudged. I threw my bag on the couch and started running water for a bath. I removed my wet clothing and left them on the ground. I slid into the hot water.

Tears began to run down my face for the second time today. I was rejected; I gave myself the opportunity for love, no regrets I thought. Booth and I's moment I guess had pass. I was going to have to move on. My crying changed to sobbing. Why didn't I say yes to Booth before? He wanted to love me for 30 or 40 or 50 years. Now I sit alone. I wish I could turn back time, even though that is highly impossible. My water soon chilled me. I stood up and wrapped a towel around me. I knew I wouldn't sleep tonight. I slipped on some dry clothes and wiped off some of the makeup that was smudge. I grabbed my bag and headed to the lab.

The lab was dark in the night. Shadows gave the space another feeling at night then during the day. I started walking to my office when Mika greeted me back. He told me about the world being upside down for three days and how it takes three days for the world to be right side up. I said goodbye as Mika walked away. These three days were going to take a while. I walked toward my office and set my bag down on my desk. I booted up my computer. I slowly looked over into the dark shadows in my office. A familiar shadow filled my couch. The figured stood and walked closer to me, to show me their face.

"Booth? What are you doing here?"

"I-I-I broke up with Hannah." Booth said in a soft voice.

"What? Why?"

"Because, when we talked to Sweets about how his book was wrong and I confessed my love for you. You weren't ready for us and so I tried to find someone. But you are that someone and I thought Hannah-"

"You said you love Hannah." I cut him off. I didn't know what Hannah would say if I saw her again.

"I thought I loved Hannah, but that wasn't love. What we have together that is love. Coming over at midnight for takeout, saving that person countless times, thinking about that person every second of the day. Now that's love." Booth came around to my side of my desk and grabbed my waist and pulled my close to his body. He pressed his lips closely to mine. I now knew why Mika was smiling when I was talking to him. He let Booth in and come sit in my office. I knew my life was changing I was no longer me or an I, I was a us or we.
