a great challenge -- write a drabble based on your current default icon. No beta, no mulling it over, just write it and post it. It's fun! Since my default is currently Booth/Brennan (the icon I'm using for this post) I figured I'd share the drabble I wrote here.

Doesn’t know why he lets her.
She’s not sure she wants to know. She’s too afraid of ruining this.
