Everyone has fears, and limits, and things that just plain push their buttons. Sometimes it's interesting to put characters in situations that hit those things -- and then sit back and see how they react. Characterization is very subjective, and I knew when I started writing this story that there would definitely be people who wouldn't agree with my portrayal of Booth and Brennan. I am glad you felt comfortable telling me that you couldn't see Booth breaking down like this; I value your honest opinion.

I think I know which is your favorite. WWHIWK?, perhaps? ;)

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
