- I want to go for a walk... Eames was screaming. Out.
And there it was again.
Every day, Goren had this scenario.
It lasted at least half an hour...
Or an hour.
And no matter how angry Eames got...
She always got the same answer.
When she would finally understand...
And stop being so stubborn.
Asking for something she wasn't going to get.
He was doing it for her own good...
For her safety.
Not for the sake of ruining her life.
- I said no.
No...
Always no.
Why was he locking her up...
She felt like she was in a cage.
She wanted so badly to get out of that apartment that was beginning to suffocate her.
And just because she couldn't see...
Didn't mean she couldn't get out.
- I've had enough.
For God's sake...
She wasn't a bird to be caged...
And that if she got out...
She was going to break her wings.
Besides...
Why did Goren insist on forbidding her to go out.
He had no right over her.
She didn't have to take orders from anyone.
And she was more than tired of this excuse he gave her every time...
"You're not safe outside."
Eames had tried everything.
Asking to go see Deakins...
Barek.
But Goren had never given in.
The answer was always the same.
All she asked was no.
It wasn't fair.
Damn it...
She had to find a way to make him give in.
Anything...
She had to find a way.
But what.
- Don't try to coax me... Goren looked at Eames, who was pacing the living room, arms crossed around his chest, and grumbling. This isn't going to work.
She stamped her feet, her cheeks flushed.
- I hate you.
But yes...
You hate me...
Like every day.
Damn it...
Couldn't she change her tune.
A small chuckle escaped his lips, he brought his hand to his mouth, trying to stifle it, but too late...
Eames stopped, and turned towards the sound, his face red with anger.
- I'm making you laugh.
Damn it...
That idiot...
Did he forget that she was not deaf.
- Not at all.
Oh the liar.
He was lying with such aplomb.
Did he forget...
That during his five-year partnership...
She had learned to recognize the intonations of his voice...
And that she knew certain details about him.
My God...
Eames was so touchy.
And her blindness wasn't helping.
She was getting more and more infernal.
Johnny Eames had warned her...
But he...
thought he was overreacting.
But he wasn't.
She was even worse than what he had told her.
- Whether you like it or not... She was seething inside. I would go for a walk.
Yes, you will.
You'll go for a walk in the room like you always do.
And you'll calm down...
Like always.
What the hell...
How stubborn and narrow-minded she could be.
Eames didn't understand...
Wouldn't understand...
That he wasn't doing this against her...
But for her safety.
What would happen if he had the misfortune to accede to her request.
If he had listened to himself...
He would have taken her for a walk a long time ago.
But he had promised his father.
And he was not a man to break his promises...
Even when harassed by a harpy.
Because that's what she was...
A harpy.
He knew she had a temper...
But to be a pain in the ass.
Damn it...
He should have been wary of her angelic face.
Besides...
He was already imagining her...
If she fell...
She would be mad with rage...
He could not hold back his laughter.
Seeing already the scene...
And Eames who would set her on fire...
Telling her that it was her fault.
Because of course...
He would be the one responsible.
He was beginning to know the lady well.
Her laughter redoubled.
Eames clenched his fists nervously on his hips.
He was really lucky that she didn't see anything.
Otherwise she would have punched him in the face to teach him to laugh at her.
No but...
How could he allow himself...
How dare Goren make fun of her.
In rage...
She rushed to the room, using the wall, and when she got to the room, she entered, and slammed the door behind her.
- Cad.
Goren stopped laughing.
His heart sank.
He knew that Eames was unhappy being locked up.
But he couldn't do otherwise.
Until Walter Regan was arrested...
He couldn't take any chances.
If only...
Just once...
He wanted so much to please him...
At least once.
Just to see her smile.
But could he just...
