They were never supposed to fall in love. Y/N works at the Jeffersonian. Booth works for the FBI. They argue constantly, flirt even more, and have a secret arrangement neither of them intends to take seriously. No strings. No jealousy. No feelings. Until Y/N starts noticing someone watching her. Then she disappears. With a connection to Howard Epps, a dangerous accomplice knows far too much about Y/N, Booth, and the secret they’ve been hiding. As Booth races to find her, the line between their arrangement and something much deeper begins to disappear. Because finding Y/N is only the beginning. Surviving what happened to her is another story. And when their secret finally comes out, neither of them can pretend anymore. They were supposed to be nothing. So why does losing her feel like losing everything?
