Glimpse of Truth

"I can move properly now. Thanks!" Booth told Malia.

But Malia insisted.

"No! I can handle it. Let me just help you. Don't worry, I won't tarnish your manly reputation." Malia mocked at Booth because she knew that Booth does not want to look weak to his fellow hunters.

Though, Booth was feeling differently at that moment. He did not mind Malia's persistence because seeing her worried and concerned for him made him enjoy the moment.

Only silence was his reply from Malia's teasing.

And Malia noticed the sudden smile on Booth's face.

"Now, why are you smiling? Haven't I told you that I do not have time for your silliness?" Malia reminded Booth.

"I haven't said anything at all. Plus, is it bad to enjoy this moment, hmm? You just got kidnapped for few hours then you are acting so sensitive." Booth made some excuses to avoid the real reason what made him smile.
