Parker whipped around to see Booth. Even though she’d agreed to have him see her off she was caught off guard, a little bit. She hastily rubbed her eyes and pretended that she hadn’t been close to tearing up only moments prior to his arrival. She put on a smile.
“I do!” She tilted her big cardboard box so that he could see inside. “I’ve got a new Bunny and everything.” Parker smiled down at the plush rabbit in the corner of the box. Cereal, a harness, and a fluffy toy - These were staples in her world. “I even bought it, too!” She stated proudly, in reference to the Bunny. Booth had been the reason that she’d paid cash for the thing instead of just snagging it and making her escape.
Parker nipped awkwardly at her bottom lip, looking from her belongings then back to Booth. Without a word she set the box down at her feet and quickly moved in, giving Booth a tight hug. She wasn’t one to openly engage in displays of affection, but it kind of felt like the natural thing to do. If this was the last time Parker saw Booth in the complex then she wanted to get a good hug in.
“I don’t want to leave you. We’ll still be friends, right?” She looked up at him with big, sad eyes.
