- Carolyn...
Barek looked up, and smiled at Eames.
She had come to see Eames to check on him...
And also because Goren had told her that it would be good for Eames to see people she knew, and with whom she got along well.
Maybe it would help her on the road to recovery.
So she came, happy to see Alex again.
Carolyn stood there, pensive.
She was thinking about how to explain to Alex that it was not good for her to stay at Goren's house, even while she was recovering.
There were already too many rumors circulating about them.
And this would only make things worse.
- Alex, you can't stay at Goren's forever!
At these words, Alex jumped, looking at Barek as if he had been forbidden.
Her heart sank.
Why couldn't she stay with Bobby?
What was the problem...
He was only taking care of her.
What was wrong with that...
- Why...
As she had suspected...
Eames didn't see the harm...
And above all...
She understood when she saw Eames clinging to Goren...
That she wouldn't want to leave him.
Damn it...
This was not good...
It wasn't good at all.
Eames had become dependent on Goren...
Too dependent.
And, she had this way of looking at him...
This way that didn't deceive.
She looked at him as her hero.
Her big hazel eyes that shone brightly when he looked at Goren...
She couldn't be mistaken.
Eames had fallen in love with her partner.
And there was no doubt about it.
It was as obvious as the nose on his face.
And Goren didn't look insensitive to Eames.
The way he looked at her, the way he talked to her, the way he took her hand.
This big idiot had a crush on his partner.
But that couldn't...
Shouldn't.
That was the rule.
Two partners should never date.
And she was afraid...
That sooner or later...
It would happen what it shouldn't.
But how to tell her...
How to explain it to Eames...
Without hurting her...
Without hurting her.
Eames had become too fragile.
Goren had told her to be careful what she said...
- Alex... She brought her hair down to her ebony curls. You're partners...
Damn...
How hard it was to find the right words...
The right words.
- Two policemen can't live together... Eames opened her big round eyes. Especially if it's a man and a woman, and they are partners.
Alex felt her heart break into a million pieces.
She had no right...
Couldn't stay at Goren's house.
An anger rose in her.
There was nothing wrong.
Goren was kind to her for taking her in...
For not letting her down.
And they had no right to live together.
She hated that rule.
