2011:
He watched from the doorway to the bathroom, a wave of intimacy flowing over him and between them. She sat crossed legged on his bed, his crumpled white shirt draped over her body as she dried her hair, the wet strands tangling as she ran her fingers through them.
"Hey, Bones."
Her smile lit up the entire room, she a muttered reply as he sat on the bed beside her, exchanging slow, gentle kisses, expectant after spending the whole day apart.
"Can I—?"
He held out his hand, watching as she raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"You want to dry my hair?"
"Yeah— I've never seen you dry your hair before, and I've never dried anyone's hair but my own—"
"You blow dry your hair?" She laughed.
"If it's cold!" He defended, grinning widely as she settled the blow dryer in his hand.
He flashed her his charm smile before taking his place kneeling behind her. The appliance came to life, and he ran his fingers through the wet strands of her hair, humming softly. She remained still, eyes growing hazy with sleep at his gentle caress of her head, turning around to kiss him in appreciation once the room had fallen silent.
2026:
She watched from their bedroom doorway, her love for the man and the three children sat on her bed growing to extreme amounts. Their eldest daughter, now fourteen, sat propped against the headboard, ten year old Henry sat opposite her, a chess board balanced awkwardly on the sheets between them. Her husband sat to their side, seven year old Addison in the vee of his legs, a blow dryer clasped in his hands as he held it above the unruly brown curls.
Her mind wandered, immediately remembering the first time he'd asked to dry her hair, just weeks into their relationship. Fifteen years, two houses, three more children and a puppy later, here they were.
