Yes! Exactly. But it goes even further than that, because the two of them? They are Hodgins', Angela's, Cam's and Sweets' center as well. It's a ripple effect.
And when something is off with them? It sets off a chain reaction; makes everything else wrong in the process.
And it's things like this that consistently remind him that life and Bones pretty much go hand in hand. *swallows thickly* That's just... my word, it's always true for him - Bren is everything to him, but put in this context it's just so damn sad. Love that glimmer of hope in the last line though...

So he fiddles with his tie; shoves his hands inside his pockets and leans against her door jamb until she notices.
And the noticing?
Well it takes a little while. And of all the things-- of all the ways, something so simple like that could possibly effect him...
It makes him smile.
Reminds him what it's like to be BonesandBooth again and have that unidentified thing lingering in the air between them.
So, I was in the midst of writing #18, and then this pops up in my inbox, and you take me on a completely different tangent.
And I'd so be lying, if I told you that it didn't make me :).
PS. Sorry to your inbox. I fail sometimes. :(

A part of it is definitely 18 but well... you can go see for yourself. ♥
Sheesh. Forget Booth and Brennan... We're in deep.
I don't have a problem with that, do you? :)♥

Everything is going to be off in his world. Is the center still holding???
"...life and Bones pretty much go hand in hand." - made me want to cry.
You guys are serious business. This is actually helping me work out my heartbreak.

Knowing that she didn't say I don't love you. She essentially said I'm not ready to love you / I love you so much I don't want to hurt you.
And as much as it hurts, I think he'll hang onto that, as long as it lets him still have a Bones. ♥
