21. Taste

“You’re definitely… a fully developed man,” Brennan said, with a funny little hitch in her voice, and the combination of her words and the flash of tongue when she took one last sip of her milkshake hit him square in the gut; if it were any other woman, he’d swear she was flirting with him.

Timeline: During the final scene of The Player Under Pressure.

22. Life

She never comes right out and tells him how difficult this case is for her, or how much she identifies with Andy Taylor; then again, she doesn’t have to – he sees it in the careful way she cradles the baby, and when she hands him over to Carol and Jim Grant, knowing they will love him in a way her foster parents didn’t love her, it’s too much, and Booth has to look away.

Timeline: Set during The Baby in the Bough.

23. Weakness

An earring, a plastic pig, a Smurf, a detour for her brother, an escape for her father – these are some of the things he’s given her, and all he really wants in return is the smile that’s lit her face right now.

24. Wind

They sat on a bench, sipping from their iced coffees, and a welcome breeze swept toward them, relieving some of the summer heat; as it slid its fingers through Brennan’s dark hair in a way he couldn’t, Booth closed his eyes against a flash of jealousy.

25. Sun

As she glances back at Booth over her shoulder, Brennan notes he’s squinting against the glare, his sunglasses forgotten somewhere; his eyes are somehow warmer in the sunlight, and the part of her she tries so hard to ignore warms and softens in response, even as she scrambles to keep the evidence from showing on her face.

To be continued...

*sigh* Nice. These little moments that they have and the way you express them - Beautiful.

21 - Even Brennan knows what she meant when she said that. :o)

That's music to my ears. :) Thanks!

*g* Of course she did; I think she gets a lot more than she lets on.

I'm glad you're back with these!
I like how you bring a whole new aspect to the little throwaway lines/scenes. Very well done.

nice work...can't wait for the rest. Andy Taylor? lol I wonder if the writers realized what name they were using.

What's the reference?

I was thinking of the Andy Griffith show...maybe it's only recognizable to older folks and those who watch too much TV Land. Mom still watches old shows sometimes, I only half pay attention lol

I adore the way you find those details - those little bits that reveal so very much.

That's by far my favorite in this whole series thus far. The personification of wind having fingers is just perfect and pure writer's wording <3

These are sweet, and right on character, as always. Just hit me when I read the baby's name...Andy Taylor, as in Sheriff Andy Taylor? LOL...or am I showing my age, or, really, my hubby's obsession with Mayberry?
