Chapter Twelve-Song For You Part IV
And you're so tired you don't sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end
Sadly, she had just about had it. She'd gone three days now without sleep, either constantly scanning bones and taking notes or restlessly rolling around in bed, trying to see something other than his face when she closed her eyes. She'd had about a fifty percent success rate of hiding her true emotions from her colleagues when speaking with them, although when they noticed they didn't mention it. No one would dare to after her "it's not about me, it's about him" outburst. They were probably scared of her, just like she knew (or thought she knew) he was.
She could feel sensation slipping away, feel emotion becoming forever forgotten, when one of the younger members of the dig approached her with a simple envelope. She was quite puzzled, a feeling she wasn't accustomed to. She hadn't given anyone her address, not having known it herself, and not having e-mail or phone service, she resigned herself to the fact that she'd talk to everyone when she returned. After all, she thought, no one was thinking about her. Cam had probably hired a new forensic anthropologist, Angela and Hodgins were off in Paris, and Sweets was probably counseling himself on how to get a new girlfriend. And she knew (or thought she knew) for a fact that he wasn't thinking about her. He had an amazing capability for concentration, one that she could confidently say matched her own, and she knew that a moment's deviation from that concentration was likely to get him killed.
Her thoughts were brought back to the letter and who it could possibly be from since she'd ruled out everyone besides her dad and her brother who would write to her. She finally looked down and saw the handwriting. But no, it couldn't be. She looked up and found the young man who'd handed her the envelope gone. Taking a deep breath, she hazarded a glance at the postmark: Kabul. She choked out a sob and ripped the envelope open.
