“Thanks.”
“She’s permanent, then.”
“Yeah. She’s permanent.”
“That’s good,” I said. “He needs that.”
“Yeah.”
“Now, we just need to find Scooby his forever happy.”
Wrath frowned. “Fuck Scooby. I’m more concerned aboutourforever happy.”
“Wrath, we can’thavea forever happy.”
“Why the fuck not?”
“Because eventually you’ll figure out I’m—”
“Shut up,” he growled, rolling me onto my back. “Shut the fuck up.”
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
“Look at me.”
I ignored him.
“Moonbeam, look at me.”
I met his eyes.
“You and Iaregonna have our forever, got it?” he growled as he ran a finger over my forehead. “The second we rewire the effects of all the fucked-up shit that happened in here, you’ll see.”
“You sound so certain,” I breathed out.
“That’s because I am.”
“Booth, I have secrets. I’ve also seen my cards. It’s not good.”
“Jesus,” he hissed gripping my chin. “You need to quit with the fuckin’ tarot. It’s bullshit.”
“The cards are always right,” I argued.
“Well, I’m gonna show you they’re a fuckin’ lie.”
I rolled my eyes. “We’ll see.”
He smiled.
“Why are you smiling?” I demanded.
“Because that’s the first fuckin’ time you haven’t argued with me on changin’ your mind.”
I wrinkled my nose. “I’m tired and in an orgasm haze.”
He ran his nose against mine. “If that’s all it takes, plan to be tired and in orgasm hazes for the rest of your life.”
“If we’re going to try to make this work, we need to keep it quiet.”
