A/N: I was talking with Erica about this, so I▓ve decided to write a fic about it. It▓s in Booth▓s POV. Enjoy!

-

I see the squints inside. They▓re celebrating. Zack looks totally different. Then I see her. I wave to her. She sees me and comes outside.

⌠What happened■ she asks.

I explain her about the case and about her father.

⌠I▓m glad■ she says and smiles.

⌠Listen■ I say. ⌠We found another body. Same place, same set-up.■

She looks down.

⌠Kirby?■ she asks.

⌠Pretty sure■ I say. ⌠It was Kirby▓s blood in your apartment.■

⌠Dad▓s still trying to warn people to leave me and Russ alone■ she says.

⌠Not Russ■ I say. ⌠He▓s safe with your father. He▓s warning people to stay away from you.■

I keep quiet for a second.

⌠You know what■ I continue. ⌠I'm sorry, that you had to go through it again, watching your family drive off, leaving you behind. I'm sorry.■

⌠My father is, is-■ she starts.

⌠He's your dad■ I say. ⌠And he loves you.■

⌠You know■ she says, close to tears. ⌠I'm just...I'm just one of those people who doesn't get to be in a family.■

⌠Listen, Bones, hey■ I say. ⌠There's more than one kind of family.■

I hold her chin in my hand, just because it seems right at the moment.

She blinks, and it looks like as if our heads are coming closer together.

I see Zack coming closer to the window in the corner of my eye, but Angela grabs him by his arm, clearly don▓t wanting him to interrupt our little moment.

And I▓m glad.

I lean in and kiss her. It▓s just a gentle kiss, our lips barely even touching.

But it▓s enough.

It▓s enough to let me see that she trusts me.

I pull away a bit and look her in the eye. She looks right back at me and I can clearly see sadness in her eyes.

I pull her in my arms and hug her, wanting to hug every sorrow out of that beautiful head of hers.
