Emily Deschanel has claimed that her Bones character Brennan could still begin a relationship with Booth (David Boreanaz).
In the 100th episode of the show, Brennan informed Booth that she does not want a relationship with him.
However, Deschanel told TV Guide that she believes the duo could still get together.
"There's definitely a future for Booth and Brennan," she said. "People should not be giving up at all. I think they very much belong together."
Deschanel added that Brennan is trying to "protect herself" by rejecting Booth.
"I think it's so scary to her still," she continued. "She was abandoned and it's too scary to open herself up in that way."
Boreanaz claimed that the relationship will "continue to grow", while Deschanel revealed that the season finale will have an impact on the couple.
"There are some big changes for them in the finale that affects the future in a big way," she said.
