From me, an Admirer - Day 5
Cam wakes up on Thursday morning to a hacking cough, sore throat, runny nose and a splitting headache, and she wonders if perhaps she’s been bowled over by a semi during the night and somehow forgot about the whole incident upon waking. Still, in spite of this, she gets up and attempts to take a shower anyway, because Camille Saroyan does not miss work unless she’s on the brink of death.
She makes it out of the shower (barely) before she is hit with a coughing fit so strong that it takes her several minutes to even be able to move off of her bed again. Cam decides then that perhaps this is a good enough reason to stay home for a day, and makes the call to the lab to inform the rest of the team that she won’t be in to work today.
Once dressed, Cam manages to drag herself to the kitchen to eat some breakfast. Which ends up consisting of a cup of tea, a banana, and a couple extra strength Tylenols for the headache. By the time Cam makes another thermos of tea to take with her back to her room, she decides that her bed is probably the place to stay for the next several hours.
Cam crawls into the bed, arranging the pillows behind her so she is partially in a seated position, and ensures that everything she needs is right next to her. Cell phone? Check. Television remote? Check. Thermos of tea? Check. Tissues? Check. Cam flicks on the 40’ flat screen TV and begins channel surfing, pausing only to sneeze three times in a row before carrying on in her task to find something decent to watch. She quickly remembers, however, why she doesn’t like to be stuck at home during the day - there is nothing but game shows, daytime talk shows, and soap operas on at this hour.
Suddenly she has an idea, and moves to switch off the television, instead reaching for a pad of paper and pen from the nightstand. At the top of the paper, she carefully writes Potential Secret Admirers and underlines it twice. Then she proceeds to write down the name of everyone in the lab that could potentially be the mystery person behind these gifts she’s been receiving. Turning the page over, Cam then begins to list the people one by one, and putting her thoughts about their possible candidacy under each name.
Booth
- Good friend, but we’ve already tried the dating thing twice with no success
- Probably wouldn’t go the “secret admirer” route anyway
- Denies knowing anything about it, though might be indirectly involved somehow
- Is in love with Dr. Brennan
No, it definitely isn’t Booth, Cam decides. Though she already knew that. Still… it’s helpful for her to make lists and actually be able to visually see the reasons that are running through her head. She crosses his name off the original list and moves on to the next person.
Sweets
- Would absolutely do something like this
- Dating Daisy and seems to be incredibly in love with her, though God only knows why...
- Probably wouldn’t be able to hide if it were him
Cam reads over the list again and decides that Sweets definitely isn’t a suspect on her list. She crosses his name off as well, and moves onto the next candidate.
Fisher
- Single, and apparently looking for someone
- Has never indicated any interest
- Very much does not seem like the kind of person to do something like this
- Still, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility
Cam scrunches her nose up at the thought, but reluctantly leaves his name on her list. A moment later she sneezes and is then wracked with another heavy coughing fit that nearly has her gagging. She suspects that her body might be physically rejecting the idea that Fisher could be her secret admirer, but she knows she can’t remove him from the list. At least not yet. So instead she decides to move on.
Hodgins
- Single and seemingly looking for a relationship
- May still be in love with Angela
- A friend whom I spend a great deal of time with these days
- Could possibly do something like this
- Hasn’t shown any real interest, but not impossible
Cam reads over those points one more time and concludes that Hodgins is also a real possibility, if it is someone at the lab. And unlike with Fisher, the thought of it potentially being Hodgins isn’t a horrible one. In fact, it makes her feel a little bit warmer inside. But it’s far too early to start drawing any conclusions yet, and so she leaves his name on the list and decides to focus on the next name she has written down.
Clark
- In a relationship with someone, as far as I know
- Would probably find the idea of a secret admirer completely lame
- Hasn’t ever indicated any interest
- He’s all about getting down to business, so this beating around the bush thing would be quite out of character
So it’s also unlikely that Clark could be the one behind the whole thing. As a result, she strikes his name from the list. Which leaves her with two real possibilities from the lab - Fisher and Hodgins. Of course, there are several other individuals in Cam’s life that could also be put in the running and she knows that there are still more people to consider. Except at the moment Cam would prefer to have a nap. So she does just that, her last thoughts before drifting to sleep of one particular dark-haired entomologist.
