OOM: DC--Shortly Before Bodies in the Book....

[dr_temperance]

Brennan's having a hard time not smiling these days. It tends to just creep up on her.

It's been a week since she made the first move on Sully. For once her instincts had been right on the money. Making the first move had definitely been the way to go.

And ever since she's had a hard time not smiling. Behold the power of endorphins.

Which is why she's smiling idly at her computer screen as she scrolls through images of a dismembered arm.

"Bren, there's no universal 'too early.' It just depends. He seems pretty serious about you."

[dr_temperance]

"He's known me less than a month."

Brennan shrugs.

"It's a relationship between two socially, intellectually, and sexually compatible adults. Why does it need to be anything more than that?"

"How serious are you and Hodgins?"

[bringonthewonder]

"Socially, intellectually, and sexually compatible? Of course it doesn't need to be anything more than than. Most women would give their right arms for that. Bases covered there, Sweetie.

"Hodgins and I are . . . figuring that out."

[dr_temperance]

Brennan nods.

"That's good."

She's not going to press for a more detailed answer. It's not exactly that she's refraining from being nosy; she just doesn't need one.

Although a part of her wonders how Hodgins might answer that question.

"You seem to be enjoying the learning process."

Her grin is distinctly teasing.

"Well, the one-on-one tutoring sessions can certainly be pretty intense," says Angela, unfazed by any grins of any sort.

[dr_temperance]

"That they can."

Brennan is not, it should be noted at this point, talking about Angela and Hodgins.

Not that Sully needs much in the way of tutoring. He is a man of many talents.
