Strangers

Chapter 2


"Seeley my man, how's it going?" Agent Adams asked Booth as he was pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"It's going." He said with a grin.

"Are you and that partner of yours together yet? We have a bet going to see how long it takes and my week is coming up."

Booth laughed "We are just partners."

"Yeah, and I talk to my partner about love and marriage all the time." Adams rolled his eyes.

Booth shrugged "It's just how we are, friends, that's it."

"Yeah, if you say so. Anyone with eyes can tell you have it bad. Have you ever thought of anyone else like that?"

"Just once."

"Oh so you admit it!"

Booth once again shrugged. If he was honest with himself he knew he loved her but she was just his partner, nothing more.

"So who was this other one?"

"I was young, only 22. I was in New York on leave, about to go back overseas for a while. I met this girl, her name was Sarah."

"What happened to her?"

"I don't know; we spent a few days together. It was magical, never felt anything like that before, not even with Rebecca."

"You didn't try to find her?"

"I did, I was gone for 18 months. She kept me going while I was gone, the thought of her blue eyes. I tried to find her when I got back but she vanished. Never forgot about her though. No one has ever come close to her except…."

"Except your partner?"

Booth blushed "Yeah, my partner, but it's not like that, we are just partners."

"Sure you are Seeley. I wouldn't give up on it just yet." Adams winked at Booth and walked out the door leaving Booth to think about those two days with the girl of his dreams.
