Dear Bones,
So we had a case where the victim's body was found between some layers of cardboard. Turns out her name was Merial Misakos, a soon to be bride, and it seems she was pretty much a bridezilla, right?
Over the next few days, you were like a loose cannon, firing off endless arguments against marriage to anyone who would listen. It seemed like you just couldn't stop yourself...you had to prove your point.
You know, you said some really horrible things there, Bones. It's a good thing that I know you, because sometimes you can be really rude, even if you don't mean to.
See, marriage isn't a barbaric expectation imposed by a prudish society, and it's not an antiquated ritual, okay? It's two people making a commitment to share a life...vowing to stay together for the rest of their lives. I hope that one day you'll change your view about marriage...I really do. I have to keep hoping, or I'll go crazy.
Anyway, for the case we had to investigate a bridal shop, remember? It was kind of strange to go in there with you, especially with all that wedding gear laying around, and then things got really awkward when the owner told us that we're obviously made for each other. I disagreed half heartedly because, truth to be told, I secretly think what she said is true. I think that you're the one for me...that we're meant to be with each other. But I knew you would've killed me if I'd said anything like that out loud, so I just pretended like it was no big deal.
You know, I think we're a long way off from talking about that...marriage, I mean...but I'm dreaming about it. Seems I can't help it.
What gave me some hope was our celebratory drink after we'd closed the case.
You came to my home and confiscated my best scotch. Hey, go easy with that stuff, okay? That bottle was 40 bucks!
Surprisingly, as we talked, I found out there's a romantic woman hidden somewhere inside you. Please let that woman out more often, okay? That was so cute! You talked about jealousy and your wish to understand and maybe find that kind of love, saying that you envy us all for being able to experience it.
Bones, it's so easy, okay? Just open your eyes! I'm right in front of you, waiting for you to notice that I love you with all of my heart. Is that so hard to see?
Am I so hard to love?
Can't you see me in your life for the next few years, or maybe even forever?
I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for you to see it.
