As soon as she had finished eating, Brennan pulled out her cell phone and called Lisa back. She told Lisa that she and Booth were willing to meet with the woman and discus the possibility of this film. Lisa sounded happy, and quickly gave Brennan her name again and her phone number. As soon as Brennan hung up with Lisa, she dialed River Morrigan’s number. The phone rang only once before someone picked up.
“Rapids Production, how may I help you?”
“I’m calling for River Morrigan.”
“This is her.”
“Oh, this is Dr. Temperance Brennan. I’m calling about your request.”
“Ah, I’m so glad you decided to contact me!”
“My partner and I would like to meet with you to discuss the details before we make any final decisions.”
“Of course, that’s all I wanted for now. Is there any specific time or day that would work best for you both?”
“Let me check.”
Brennan moved the phone from her ear and looked at Booth.

*Told from Temperance Brennan's point of view*
Booth and I were walking in the park, holding hands. He was still recovering from Marissa's death, and still mourning from her funeral. I still remember the day we went...
* * *
It was a drizzly day in D.C. Booth was silent in the car as we drove to Marissa's funeral. Marissa was like a sister to Booth. He was a total wreck when he found out about her murder. When we finally arrived, Booth only said 7 words. "She is in a better place now." This funeral went like any other funeral. But in this funeral, Booth was crying. I had never seen him cry before. And when we could view the body, he only laid a rose on her coffin, not willing to look into the corpse's eyes. When we were walking in the cemetary,I pulled him to a stop.
"Booth, I do not think we should go back to the Jeffersonian. You look like hell. I am sorry to say, but it is true." I looked in his eyes. He only replied with a sigh. Then we walked back to the car in silence, and the ride back was in total silence too.

Booth-Pov
I hate my stomach. While it lasted, that kiss fulfilled about twenty-five of my fantasies, and ignited about two billion more. I was out of my mind with ecstasy and I was glad Bones seemed to feel the same. Then, my stupid stomach had to go and growl. Oh well, at least I could finally eat some of that delicious smelling Thai.
I grabbed Bones’ warm hand and bounded out of the room and into the kitchen. “Jeez Booth! I wouldn’t want you to get too excited!” She said. Then she helped me put the containers of Thai on the table. After that was done, there was still one Styrofoam box left sitting. I had no idea what it was. Bones picked it up and presented it to me with a flourish, “To one Special Agent Seeley Booth, for making me an extremely happy woman.” She blushed. I took the box and opened it. Score! It was a huge, steamy slice of yummy apple pie. Yes! This was turning into a better night than I had anticipated, in more ways than one.
