A/N: I don't own anything. Well maybe the writing but the characters or songs. Nope not a one.

"There you are!" she exclaimed while reaching up to reach her iPod. 'I've been looking for you for a few days now. How did you get up on the top shelf? No matter, I've found you again.'

She usually doesn't like to listen to music while she works in the lab but she prefers to listen to music while writing her books. She pressed random and sat down at her desk to start writing the next chapter in her book.

The sultry sounds of Ella Fitzgerald and some free form jazz helped her power through her chapter. It was good and full of light banter between Kathy and Andy.

"I can't believe that Booth still thinks he's the model for Andy," she laughed to herself knowing that Andy is no competition for her real life partner.

The song had just changed and didn't recognize the man's voice or the song for that matter. 'Hello, where did this come from?'

She looked down at the display and it read Jim Croce I'll Have to say I Love you in a Song. She didn't remember loading it to her iPod but she was taken aback by the soft tone of his voice.

Well, I know it's kind of late, I hope I didn't wake you, but what I got to say can't wait, I know you'd understand cause every time I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong so I'll have to say I love you in a song.

She instantly started thinking of who could be harboring amorous feelings for her. It didn't take her long to surmise that it must be Booth, what with him constantly touching her back and showing up late at night with takeout.

She chuckled as she remembered that he had been acting antsy like there was something that he had been anxious about the last couple of days. 'I think I know what happened to my iPod.'

She continued to listen to the song as a warm smile found its way to her face.

Yeah, I know it's kind of strange, but every time I'm near you I just run out of things to say, I know you'd understand cause every time I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong so I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Cause every time the time was right, all the words just came out wrong so I'll have to say I love you in a song.

She pulled off her earphones and picked up her cell and dialed her partner who she knew would still be awake.

"Booth," she said. "I found your beautiful song that you uploaded and I wanted to say thank you but I have a question to ask. Is it true?"



"Do you really need to ask?" he replied with a sigh hoping she'd figure it out.

Her cheeks flushed and her version of Booth's megawatt smile spread on her face, "What took you so long?"
