She stepped off the couch and quietly walked toward her front door. She stood, listening to the other side of the door, hoping he might actually be there, but also wishing it was just a hallucination.
"Bones?" he said again, this time a little louder.
She threw open the door, scared that if she took her time, he'd be gone.
But there he was. Looking almost as scared as she felt. She couldn't believe this. He had been gone. Forever. She shuddered at the thought, but regained herself.
She reached out to him. If she could touch him, prove that he really was there, then everything in the world would be right again. But if he disappeared, like in all her other hallucinations and dreams, then she may never heal.
He reached out, too, and in the middle there hands met. He intertwined his with hers and smiled. His boss would kill him for this, but nothing mattered anymore. Her face showed color the minute they touched, so coming here was the right thing to do.

(This takes place at the end of the episode 'Wannabe in the Weeds'. It's just like a scene, or couple of scenes, that could have happened between that episode and the season finale.)
She sat, completely silent, on her couch. It was one in the morning and, again, she couldn't sleep.For the last week it had been like this. She went to work, acted strong for everyone there, came home, attempted to sleep and be a normal person, and then ended up on her couch, thinking.
Her compartmentalizing wasn't working either. She could be hunched over a dead body, or reading a book, or talking to Angela, and suddenly the three words she hated the most came to mind: Booth is gone.
Booth is gone. There was another word to add to that, to make it completely true, but she couldn't bare to say it, even if it was just in her head. And she couldn't help but tell herself, every time he came to mind, that she couldn't have cared as much as she seems to have. They had kissed once, and yes it was everything she wanted all morphed into one simple thing, but that was it. Nothing more happened. Life, as they knew it, went on.
