THE MASK FALLS
-Catherine!
Eames was screaming louder.
Now to us two young girls!
Your allusions were dubious and we're going to have a discussion!
Barek saw Eames appear in his room and slam the door!
- So you knew!
Barek looked at his friend and nodded.
- But that's not what you think!
- Shut up !
Eames was beside herself!
But of course it was innocent! His partner who at night goes into his diaper!
She would never have thought that of him, that he could have done such an act!
And her friend who knew about it and said nothing! To believe that she was his accomplice!
- You knew and you didn't say anything!
She screamed more and more!
- Stop now! Barek took Eames by the hand and forced her to sit down! You have to listen now and not a word! Logan!
Why was she calling Logan!
That's right, he knew about it too!
How many knew here! While the main concerned was not!
- As I just told you, everything is true! He sighed and continued on his throw! Goren was afraid of your reaction and that's why he was never there when you woke up! But I know he's telling the truth!
Eames found it hard to believe her story, but she was starting to calm down and get her thoughts clearer!
- Can't you see that Goren would never do anything against you! On the contrary, you are far too precious to him! Much more than a sister!
Eames open wide!
What had Logan just said? Far too precious, more than a sister?
What did this mean?
- Logan is right! Barek came and sat down next to Eames, Listen after the trauma you went through, maybe your subconscious was saying what you were whispering while you slept! She took his hand! You need Goren like he needs you! And the night for you is something vital!
Eames couldn't believe his ears!
Was it really her trauma that she would have reacted like that?
And why hadn't Goren told him anything?
Alex looked at Catherine and Mike in turn.
Could it really be that she ...
But it was simply impossible!
Logan walked over to her, crouching down beside her,
- Listen Eames! Barek and I noticed what you two didn't even notice! He took her hands. Can't you see that you care about him more than a brother and that he cares about you more than a sister! The ring is the most obvious example!
At the thought of the ring, she put her hand to his neck, but it was empty.
She had thrown her ring at him and told him she never wanted to see it again.
She had prevented him from explaining, like the day he had hurt her!
But what to do ! And why didn't she see what others saw?
Yes, she cared about Goren, but like a brother!
But the more she said that to herself, the more it sounded false to her ears!
But why hadn't she realized this before?
Why did it take Logan and Barek to make him realize?
She got up from the chair and rushed out of the room!
Logan and Barek looked at each other, nodding! They understood where she was going!
Goren crouched down, picked up the chain and ring from the floor! Keeping it preciously in her hand, against her heart.
This gesture had broken his heart!
How could she have believed he was like her father!
Tears rose to her eyes.
He wipes the tears off his hand and tries to stop himself from crying, but nothing will stop his tears!
He had lost the person he cared about the most in the world!
He who treated her like his little sister!
But why was he putting himself in such a state!
A sister ? Is that really what he thought of her?
Why was he afraid that she might be more for him!
He always ruined everything!
Maybe that's what made him think of her as a sister and nothing more!
But why hide the face now!
Of course she was more than a sister!
He had given her this ring and to him it meant much more than just a present!
He heard the door open and didn't even turn around.
- Go away !
Instead of leaving, the person entered the room and crouched down beside him, putting a hand on his cheek!
At this gesture, Goren recognized Eames and stepped back as if dumbfounded, almost tripping on the ground!
- I did not know and I imagined things that you would never have been able to! She put her hand on his! You are not your father and I know it from the bottom of my being!
Goren dared to look at her.
His eyes were swollen with the tears that escaped them.
She brought her hand to her face and wiped the tears with the back of her hand.
He didn't dare look at her and contemplate the ring in her hand.
- Bobby please look at me!
He brought his hazel eyes to the face of the young woman who gave him a shy smile!
Yes she was much more than a sister, it broke her heart!
She read all the distress in his eyes.
She brought her arms up to his neck and hugged him to her heart.
He let her go and accepted this mark of affection.
- Eames ... Alex ...!
She put a finger to his lips to silence him.
And hugged him.
