They say actions speak louder than words. Like when the street lamp that was out, decided that now would be a good time to bathe you in its shining light again.

This is how Special Agent Seeley Booth found himself feeling now. His partner of three years, Dr Temperance Brennan, had deiced to bathe him in all her glory again, with her fist.

At first he couldn't understand why she would do that? Then he found out that no one had bothered to tell her that he wasn't really dead. She had been at the top of his list, and then someone at the FBI had decided it was better she didn't know. He didn't know who, but he was sure he was going to find out.

His Bones had thought for two weeks he was dead. He was starting to understand why it was she had decked him. Two weeks' worth of mourning would have taken a huge toll on her. He had promised never to betray her, and out of the blue, he had left her.

He wasn't sure how she would have dealt with this, but the simple act of act of punching him in the face had revealed to him that she had not just compartmentalized it. As Sweets had said, it showed 'passion'. He had tried repeatedly to explain why he hadn't contacted her himself, and even then she felt the need to invade his bath time and hit him up about it again. His own personalbath time, rubber ducky inclusive, interrupted so he could be yelled at.

He had been dead for two weeks and she still drove him crazy. Typical.
