"So what if I know your password?! I just rattled off the list of every password, 27 of them, that you've had since like, we met. That means nothing to you?"

"Fine. I'll admit that you know me pretty well, and have a certain adeptness for knowing what I'm thinking about. But that's what you do Booth, you read body language and predict behavior by getting to know people."

"Pretty well?" He replied with a waggle of his eyebrows.

She smiled in return and her hands left their place on her hips, lowering her defensive stance to one that was friendly and open. "Fairly well."

"Do I need to make the list any longer Bones? Do you even know how I know all those things?"

She stepped closer. "I know a lot more than you think Booth. I know that you pay attention to me; you've proved that right here. And I know that sometimes you are the only one who does. So thank you for that." She began to grin as she leaned even closer. "But there's no way you'll guess the new password I'm going to put in."

He chuckled. "I'll even close my eyes."

"You can open them now Booth."

Before she could step away from the computer he stepped behind her, effectively forcing her to look at the screen with him looking over her shoulder. She shivered when his warm whispered breath came into contact with her ear.

"I know you, Bones. You know I do."

She watched in bewildered wonder as he leaned in and typed five letters: 'B-O-O-T-H' hitting enter softly as his other hand came to rest on her opposite shoulder. He grinned with delight as the screen lit up green with two words: 'Access Granted'.
