He stood in front of all of them, his squints, his partner, his best friend. He watched her guarded eyes look everywhere but him. Clean and detached. He was just another person leaving her, and she wasn't about to show her feelings. He sighed her name.

His heart was breaking. He didn't want to see her hurting like this, and the fact that it was his fault was the knife in his heart being twisted mercilessly. He took a deep breath before replying.
"I gotta go catch this guy, Bones. I'll only be gone for a few weeks."

"Come on, Bren. We gotta go, sweetie."
Brennan nodded slowly, and they all made their ways home.

I always catch my breath
I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I wonder why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
