Sometimes, when he concentrates, his eyes narrow and his head cocks to the side. Sometimes, when he discovers something, his eyes widen and he nods, head bobbing up and down slowly, like he's digesting this new piece of information.

"Fine. One more."
It occurs to me that maybe it's not so much the pie that I can't get enough of.
Hi everyone. My first bones fic! I have a second chapter, but I don't know whether to post it or not. Yes or no?

Hope you enjoyed!
