Epilogue

The morning light fought its way in between the long curtains. Apparently the world outside hasn't stop and was now greeting the room with bright rays of light. Orange sunshine bathed the barebodies that rested; sound asleep, entwined limbs among the white sheets in the bed.

She opened her eyes to the light and they glittered with watery moisture in them. The air around was fresh as a spring morning against her naked skin. Her body rolled to the side, avoiding the lightover her eyes, and burying herself deep in the warmth of the man beside her. His arms immediately came around her, shielding her skin from the chill, moving his own full naked one against her.

It still felt like a dream, the way he came to see her last night, both of them struggling with their feelings only to have them figured out in the end. They fell in the arms of one another, savouring the raw passion consuming their hearts, losing their bodies in the pure expression of love.

It felt good, not that she no longer feared her emotions towards him. Having him remembered the words was like the calm after a great storm, one storm that both now, knew how to ride.

Now that she was safe in the arms of the man she loved, she opened her eyes to be greeted by the charm smile that enlighten his eyes. She smiled back, knowing that none of the words in the world could express the deep happiness both were feeling in the moment. Lips engaged in a kiss of passion and desire, as they made their way to explore their bodies all over again, never having enough of the other.

The afternoon foundDr. Brennanseating at her desk, vaguely shifting between work papers and reports, for her mind was filled with thoughts of last night events.

She had apologised to her colleagues, but especially to her boss and ex-grad student. Explaining everything had been hard, for someone who didn't apologise very often, but they understood, after all everyone has its own irrational moments in life.

Her best friend had come early to talk, a huge smile showing all her white teeth and small screams of anxiety to know everything, every single dirty aspect of it, as she had said.

What had she said to her artist friend? Of course…

'I'm in love with him, Angie.' She had said with a dreamy grin in her lips.

She was glad to be comfortably alone wrapedin the silence of her office.

Knock, Knock.

It was becoming a habit, people knocking on her door delivering news. Some of them were bad, but she now had the feeling inside it was going to be something good, and she smiled despite of everything. She recognised that knock, and had been eagerly expecting it all day.

His smiley face came into view, greeting her with the simple words that would make her eyes shine in contentment.

"We have a case Bones! We're back again." He then laughed cheerfully and she couldn't help herself to grin back at him.

They were back all right. What she feared the most wouldn't happen. Nothing has changed between them. They were still themselves, only , driving each other crazy, but loving one another nevertheless.

She now understood that the shifting in their relationship was inevitable, and welcomed it and all the consequences, if it meant to be with him.

It was a fact, that both learned, that they were stronger together than alone, because when they were themselves they were good, but together... they were even better.
