Eames stood there as if forbidden.
She brought her hand to her lips.
She didn't dare believe it...
Did not realize.
And yet...
Goren had indeed kissed her.
And he had put the tongue.
Her heart began to beat violently in her chest.
What had possessed Goren to get so carried away...
To speak to him in that tone.
And especially what was that kiss.
What did it mean?
She was giving to others...
What she denied him.
Little by little, his words took a place in her head, and she realized what it meant.
She blushed violently.
Goren was not serious...
He didn't mean what he said.
Moreover, she was angry with him.
To dare to tell him that she was sleeping with the first guy who came along...
He had crossed the line.
Who did he think he was...
But this time, she was not ready to forgive him.
She was nice...
But there were limits not to exceed.
Just the memory of his lips on hers made her blood boil.
Goren's kiss had surprised her, and turned her upside down.
So much so that she had slapped him.
Not only did he talk to her badly...
But he had dared to kiss her.
And he had put...
She turns crimson.
Maybe the slap she had just given him...
Goes to put him in place ideas.
At least that's what she hoped.
- Mom...
Eames gasped, at Lola's small voice.
Damn it...
Lola had woken up.
After the scene Goren had made for her...
She should have known that Lola would wake up.
Eames tried to put her face back together.
She turned, and walked towards her daughter.
When she got to her side, she crouched down to her level, put her hand to her golden hair, stroked it gently.
- Why did Bobby scream...
At her words, Eames looked away, not daring to look at her.
It was the first time Lola had heard Goren scream.
It must have surprised her.
- It's nothing, honey...
A big smile lit up Lola's face.
Lola had been so scared when she heard Bobby's screams.
He had never been so angry.
And his mom had yelled at him.
Telling him she didn't want to see him anymore.
She had been afraid...
Scared Bobby wouldn't come back.
Lola loved Bobby, and she wanted to see him.
If her mom and Bobby fought...
He wouldn't come back.
But if her mom told her it was nothing...
she was safe.
Mama never lied.
Eames lifted Lola in his arms, carried her to her room.
- Come on... you're going back to sleep.
Eames gently laid her daughter in her bed, covering her little body with the sheets.
- She put her hand on her daughter's cheek and stroked it. It was nothing.
She lowered her face, brought it closer to her forehead, and placed her lips on it, brushing it.
- Good night my angel.
Lola caught her mother's face in her little handcuffs, put her lips on her cheek.
- Good night... My little mommy.
At her words, Alex's heart beat gently, touched by her daughter's words.
How she loved her daughter.
Lola was a lovely little girl.
Never fussy...
And just wanting to be loved.
Lola never got to know her father, Joe.
Her heart sank.
She knew that if Joe had been alive, he would have adored his daughter.
As Goren adored Lola.
But Lola had known her partner Goren, and immediately she had grown fond of Goren.
She knew that Lola loved Goren like a father.
He was the father figure she had always known.
Eames stood up, and walked to the door.
- Mom... Eames stopped, turned, and looked at his daughter. I hope Bobby won't be mad anymore.
Alex felt her heart clench.
She should have known that hearing Goren scream would upset Lola.
She loved Goren so much that she was afraid he wouldn't come back, like his father.
- Don't worry... She smiled at her daughter. Tomorrow everything will be forgotten.
At her words, Lola took her teddy bear in her arms, holding it gently against her heart, and closed her eyes.
Eames smiled, touched.
Lola never left her teddy bear to sleep.
He was the most important thing for Lola.
Which was quite normal...
When you knew that this teddy bear was a gift from Goren.
As far as Lola was concerned, she would forgive Goren for his behavior tonight.
But he had no interest in doing it again.
She was doing this mostly for Lola.
Lola would be so sad if she didn't see Goren anymore.
And Eames didn't want to make her daughter unhappy.
She turned on her heels and walked out of the room.
