Goren had not come all night.
Eames had hoped...
Then why...
Had she said...
Do...
Something that had displeased him.
- Hi Uncle Bobby.
At Molly's words, Eames jumped, her heart racing.
She heard Goren's footsteps approaching her.
He pulled the chair up beside her and sat down.
Goren saw at Eames' feet, Jumper.
Of course...
If it wasn't Molly...
It was Jumper who was hogging Alex.
Damn it...
He had to find a way to get rid of those two.
Otherwise he wouldn't be able to have a single moment alone with Eames.
- Hello Alex...
Alex lowered the head, tightened nervously his skirt in his fingers.
What could have Eames well have...
She had a small face...
And she was nervous.
- It's not okay Alex...
How dare she tell Goren...
That she had been waiting for him all night...
Hoping to hear him come...
And come to slip into his sheets.
- You are not...
Eames blushed violently, not daring to finish her sentence.
Damn it...
Could it be that Eames was blaming her for not coming to join him.
He hadn't wanted to risk running into his great-aunt.
While he was dying to reach her, and touch her.
Goren lowered his face to Eames', brought his lips close to her ear, brushed it.
- You wanted me to come and join you...
Eames turned scarlet, nodded.
So that was it.
Eames had been waiting for her to come.
- I couldn't... Ogre Cathy.
Ogre Cathy...
Strange...
Why did Goren call his great-aunt that.
Was he afraid of her...
To the point of not having come to join her.
- When I was dying to...
- Did you see Auntie... Goren and Eames gasped at Molly's voice, as if caught in the act. Uncle Bobby whispering words of love to Alex...
Damn it...
He should have been more careful.
But he had completely forgotten that his great aunt could pop up at any moment.
- You're talking nonsense Molly...
Cathy was standing in the doorway, looking at her nephew and Alex.
Was what Molly was saying really nonsense?
It wasn't what she had seen.
Cathy was there...
In the doorway...
For some time.
And she hadn't missed a beat of the show.
She hadn't said anything...
Watching him do it.
Her nephew leaning over Alex, and Alex blushing at every word Bobby whispered in her ear.
And Molly who had just ruined everything by signaling her presence.
- So why is Alex all red...
Damn it...
Was Molly going to stop adding to it.
And then...
Cathy...
How long had she been standing there...
Looking at him.
And that kid who reported
Goren had done nothing wrong...
And in the presence of his great aunt...
He always felt like he was doing something wrong.
Even at his age...
In front of Cathy...
He felt like a kid.
- Alex... Molly looked at Alex. You'll come with Jumper and me... see the horses...
Jumper lifted his head at her name...
And lay back down on Eames' feet.
At Molly's suggestion, Eames pinked with pleasure.
She would love to go see the horses with Molly and Jumper.
- I...
- I'll go too.
Pardon.
Had Cathy heard right...
Bobby wanting to go see the horses...
But what was wrong with him...
He never really liked being around them.
But of course...
It wasn't the horses he wanted to see.
The rascal...
He wanted to be with Alex.
His nephew was really not very smart.
Cathy's gaze was caught by something shiny on Alex's fingers.
It couldn't be...
Wasn't she dreaming.
And yet...
This ring...
It was Francès' wedding ring.
And after...
Bobby told her that Alex was there...
Just to keep him safe.
Damn it...
What was she going to do with her nephew.
