- So you had a good time.
Eames was startled by Goren's tone.
Goren bumped into him as he entered.
What the hell...
Couldn't he give her time to get home, without jumping on her.
Especially to talk to her like that.
Why was he talking to her in that tone again...
Eames was exhausted from her evening, and he...
He was jumping on her.
Talking to her in a reproachful tone.
- And this guy... he was yelling. What does that mean...
Oh... I see...
Mister couldn't stand her going on dates when he was babysitting his daughter.
But it was he who had offered to look after Lola.
She knew that Lola adored Goren, and that Goren's feelings were mutual.
After all, he was the father figure Lola had known since she was a baby.
Joe had passed away before she even knew she was expecting a child.
And when she had joined homicide, she had become Goren's partner.
And little by little, she had introduced him to Lola, and a bond had been created between his daughter and Goren.
Like that of a father and daughter.
But that didn't give her the right to speak to him in that tone.
He was not her husband.
Besides, if he knew how the evening had gone...
Eames had only one thing on his mind all evening...
Finding her daughter.
She had not expected such a welcome.
She was a married woman, and she had to answer to her husband for her every move.
But instead of inquiring, he was going on about her.
- How is Lola...
Goren, with a threatening step, approached Eames, with a black look and an evil grin on his lips.
Eames stepped back, surprised by so much animosity.
She found herself blocked, the back to the wall.
He leaned his face towards his, looking her right in the eyes.
- It is now that you care about your daughter...
Goren had just spat his words in Eames' face.
What the hell...
Why was he so angry with her...
She hadn't done anything wrong.
And she hadn't left Lola with just anyone.
If she had known he minded keeping Lola, she would have found another solution.
Besides, she wasn't in the mood for a lecture tonight.
- I don't want to hear any more.
She pushed him aside and passed him by.
Goren put his hand on her wrist, stopping her.
- I'm not finished.
Eames put his fingers on her hand, trying to pull her away from his wrist, but Goren tightened his grip, shook his head in denial.
- You don't know what you're saying.
Sorry...
Goren knew very well what he was saying at that very moment.
He had never had such clear ideas.
He agreed to keep Lola, Eames' daughter...
But not for her to have sex with the first man she met.
- Get off me... Now.
Eames was seriously losing her patience.
She was not in the mood.
And this big idiot, he couldn't think of anything better than to take her head off.
- No... I won't let you go.
At her words, Eames gasped in surprise.
Goren wasn't serious.
He was going to let her go...
Or she was going to start getting angry.
Eames raised her foot in annoyance, and lowered it with all her might on Goren's foot, who winced at the blow, but did not let go.
Eames wanted to play this game...
She was rebelling.
You'll see my pretty.
Did she rebel like that with the other boys...
Or did she let them do what they wanted with her.
Eames could smell the man, and he hated it.
A violent anger came over him.
What had she done with him exactly...
Had she let him kiss her, touch her...
His anger redoubled.
Goren drew Eames against him, pressed her to the wall.
- What the...
He lowered his face to hers, crushed her lips.
Eames opened her big hazel eyes, surprised by this gesture.
- No...
He forced his lips through, coiling their tongues in a frenzied dance.
Eames put her hands on his chest, trying to pull him away.
But Goren was too strong for her.
- I said... No...
Sorry...
So like that, Eames was refusing to him, what she was offering to others.
Was he that repulsive.
So if he understood correctly...
He was good at keeping his daughter...
But for the rest...
It was no.
- You deny me what you give to others... He screamed, his face red. Why!
Alex stopped moving, as if forbidden, at Goren's words.
Had she heard him right...
He hadn't said that.
And yet...
He had.
She never thought she would hear such words coming from Goren's mouth.
For her, Goren was above all her partner, her best friend.
And she trusted him.
But the idea of having a relationship with him had never crossed her mind.
Not that he was not attractive.
On the contrary...
Goren had a mysterious charm, and rather attractive.
But why ruin such a beautiful friendship, just for sex...
- It's easy to sleep with the first person you meet...
Eames opened his mouth, only to close it again, shocked by such words.
- But me... Goren stammered, blushing violently. No!
He had just emphasized the last words.
At his words, a violent anger invaded Eames.
She raised her hand, and brought it down with all her strength on Goren's cheek.
Goren, surprised by this gesture, let go of Eames, stepped back, and put his hand to his cheek, as if forbidden.
- Get out of my house... Eames screamed, his face red with fury. I don't want to see you anymore.
Goren didn't have to be told twice.
He picked up his things and left.
What the hell...
What was wrong with him...
Why had he reacted like that.
Why had he reacted like that? Tapping his jealousy crisis, like a capricious kid, to whom one refuses something, but that one gives to others.
He had never acted like that.
Besides, what was the point of it...
Just to offend him with Eames, and not be able to Lola, nor his mother.
That's what he had gained by doing so.
But why...
What was wrong with him...
