The cd found its way into the svu only days after she returned form her ordeal. Vacation or time off which ever you card to call it was spent hunting down a deranged cop whose cold blood murder of his step daughter left Goren only a little stumped, and whose suicide made both of them realize how close he teetered on the edge.
They didn't usually listen to music. She didn't like the distraction while driving and he liked to be able to concentrate on the case or talk to her.
However as they left that small community of White Haven he pressed the CD into the player and subconsciously hit play on the track that had been in his head since getting her back.
I've got a secret
That I think I'm ready to share,
It may bring us closer,
It may be a burden to bear
Eames didn't say anything, just signaled and pulled over. Some how she sensed it was important to him that she hear this.
It's precious and it's real
And all that I can feel
Slowly he reached out and took her shaking hand into his much larger one.
Is that I am falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and Eternally for you.
"Goren, Bobby, I…" He silenced her by placing a finger on her lips. He couldn't handle her rejection just yet. Life was short, too short, he learned recently, to wait this one out.
You are a beacon
Revealing the places I hide
You've given freedom
To so much that I kept inside
She took the hand that was pressed to her lips and kissed it slightly in reassurance.
And with one look in my eyes
It can't be a surprise
The way he wanted her out of that damn study; the suicidal cop thought that they were just playing him but all he could think was to get her out of the line of shot; somewhere safe. He didn't much care if that bastard shot him. He knew that he couldn't live with out her. He couldn't even function without her around and after the last time he knew if anything happened again he would quietly slip into oblivion.
That I am falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you.
She heard from the captain when she was still in the hospital that he snapped and threw his former mentor against a wall in the interrogation rooms. That he begged and pleaded for her life something that she could never imagine Robert Goren doing.
Now's there's no darkness
My truth laid open and bare
It's in my flesh and bones
Yeah it's every where
She moved closer to him the front of the SVU as Richard Marx croned out the ending chorus, and their lips touched for the first time.
That I am falling
As deep as any Ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
Like rays that come from heaven
Bathed in your reflection
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you.
