Some days I wonder about her. After all this time working side by side can she really not notice how my feelings have matured for her since our first meeting? Almost any other girl would have noticed early on. Then again, Bones isn't a normal girl. How could she be? With all the pain she's gone through with her parents and brother. But that's not my place.
You know what really got me, all that time ago? When she said 'I want you to get federal on his ass' to me. She may not show how she appreciates what I do for her in words but hey, anyone with half a brain can tell she has to appreciate me and have some feelings towards me if she only trusts me to help Angela.
I know enough about teenage girls to know that they sometimes dawdle on the page writing things like 'Mrs. Taylor Stephens' and other stuff, I used to think it was absolute trash. But then, well I may have started doing that around the other way. Hey! Be a bit lenient! I only wrote it a few times… Mrs. Temperance Booth… not that much of a change really…
God that woman's getting to me! If only she knew the excruciating pain she puts me through. Then again, even if she did know, who's to say that would help? She could easily blow me off. I can't risk out friendship and partnership over that, not if she were to say she didn't feel the same.
So the pain continues. As much as I would love to tell her, I will never be that strong. My love for her is, irritating, just her way.
