Sorry about the delay in posting this - real life got in the way! It's peak wedding and event season down under and as a planner it's rather hectic.
This is set about six months after the first two chapters.
Disclaimer: as before - I don't own them, if I did we would have S3 down here already!
Temperance looked out the window, putting down the skull in her hand and silently enjoying the beauty of the Jeffersonian Gardens. Booth was there; crouching down to be eye level with a child and pointing to the fountain in the courtyard. The child nodded and took off at a run towards the cascading water. She saw him call out a warning, and she smiled. He looked up, saw her in the window and raised his hand in a wave, she returned the gesture.
A wave of love washed over her and she realized once again how lucky she was to have him, an intelligent, determined, caring, stubborn, pig-headed, at times seemingly insufferably arrogant, but ultimately beautiful man. She admired his bone structure from afar and knew that even without being able to look at his face she would recognize him.
He couldn't be easily read. Understandably he was guarded, but to her, his eyes conveyed all she needed to know. Every morning when she looked into them, her first thought was 'He loves me'. It shone clearly, and it was reflected back at him from hers. A clear understanding went between the blue and brown.
She picked up the skull again and sighed happily – she loved him, he loved her, he accepted all her faults and she his. They were happy.
