Goren, holding the letter from Eames in his hands, could not take his eyes off the words that were written.
His tears wouldn't stop flowing.
He was so unhappy.
He missed Eames terribly, and nothing could fill the void.
He pulled himself together.
He couldn't spend his day crying, it wouldn't help.
The only one responsible was him.
Goren had left without even a last word.
He hadn't even said goodbye.
And Eames wrote that she cared about him, when he had acted like this.
He didn't deserve her...
He would never deserve her.
Eames was too good for him.
Eames deserved to be happy, with a good man.
And especially not a slob like him.
Reluctantly, he stood up, brought his wrist to his eyes, and wiped away the tears.
He had to get over himself, and stop crying over his fate...
And especially about the past.
Nothing would ever be the same again.
He had left Eames.
He had lost him forever.
And he would have to get used to the idea in the end.
With a heavy heart, he headed for the door.
He needed to get his mind off it.
Going for a walk would do him a world of good.
Hopefully he wouldn't run into any little blond head resembling Eames.
Because instead of helping him, it would only aggravate his lack of her.
Goren put his hand on the handle, and opened the door.
Eames walked slowly toward Goren's apartment.
Barek had encouraged him to go.
But Eames had been afraid.
Carolyn had told him she had nothing to lose.
So Alex decided to go.
And today, she was just a stone's throw from Goren's house.
But she had this apprehension.
What would be his reaction when he saw her.
What's more, he would be there.
She was so afraid of being the unwelcome one.
Goren was gone, and she had always wondered if it was because of her.
If it was because of her...
He wouldn't appreciate her coming.
Besides, she didn't know how he reacted to her letter.
Maybe that would scare him away even more.
She came out of her thoughts.
She was at the bottom of the stairs that led upstairs.
Should she really go...
Shouldn't she turn back.
She was so scared.
But she wanted to see him so badly.
She missed Goren too much, and she needed to know how he was.
She knew he was a troubled person, and she worried.
Was he eating properly, was he not depressed.
Many things that helped her make the decision.
She put her hands on the railing, and put one foot on the step.
Yes, she had to go to him...
Even if she was the wrong one.
And even if he didn't feel the way she felt about him.
He had been there for her during her recovery.
Her heart was beating so fast, she could hear the beats in her ears.
She stopped in front of Goren's apartment door.
She took a deep breath, her hand moving forward, ready to knock.
The door opened, causing her to recoil, startle, her heart pounding.
My God...
That little blonde head standing in front of him...
He couldn't be mistaken.
He recognized her in a thousand.
Eames.
His heart began to beat violently in his chest.
Eames was there in front of him.
It could not be possible...
And yet...
Eames could not believe it.
Goren was there in front of her.
She put her hand to her heart, trying to calm the beating of her heart.
She had missed him so much...
And here he was in front of her.
A big smile appeared on her lips.
A smile that pierced Goren's heart.
Eames was smiling at her...
While he had left her to her fate.
Damn it…
Why was she smiling at him so beautifully?
He blushed violently.
Didn't she see that she turned him upside down, just by her presence.
And this smile.
It was necessary to flee...
He stepped back, but his heel hit the small step, making him fall backwards.
Eames reached out and grabbed his wrist to catch him in his fall.
But instead of helping him, she found herself falling in his fall.
The door to the apartment closed behind them.
Goren could not breathe, could not move as forbidden.
It couldn't be possible...
Eames was there...
Her head on his chest...
Her little body against his.
For God's sake...
He couldn't have imagined such a situation for a reunion.
It was awkward...
But her little body against his...
Her legs intertwined with his...
It was very pleasant.
Eames had his crotch on her private part.
Her blood ran hot.
My God...
She had to get out of the way.
Or she was going to feel his trouble.
Heart pounding, Eames dared not move...
Still in shock from running into him.
And especially in this way.
Her body was on top of Goren's...
Her head on his powerful chest...
She could hear his heartbeat...
Beating like crazy.
But she felt something in her crotch, something hard...
She blushed violently, when she realized what it was.
It was very embarrassing...
But so disturbing.
It was necessary that she moves away, and quickly...
All blushing, she put her palms on the ground, trying to move away.
She raised her head, meeting Goren's eyes.
She became even more red.
- Sorry... She bent over. Ouch.
At her cry of pain, Goren got up hurriedly, keeping her against him, and helped her to sit down with delicacy.
Goren crouched down at her height, put his hand to her forehead.
- It's okay...
Eames looked at him as if forbidden.
Was Goren really worried about her...
It couldn't be possible.
And yet, his brown eyes looked at her with concern.
She who had been afraid to be the unwelcome one.
Here he was, worrying about her.
Eames regained hope.
But something made her heart clench.
Goren's eyes were red, and swollen.
As if he had been crying.
She put her hand to his cheek and stroked it with infinite gentleness.
- You cried... Her voice vibrated with concern. Why did you...
Goren was startled by her gesture.
But his words...
How to tell her...
To tell him that his tears were for her...
Because he missed her.
And today, at this very moment, she was there before him.
Worrying about him.
Damn it...
How he cared for her.
He should have told her to leave...
For her sake.
But he didn't want her to leave.
He wanted her to stay.
Seeing her go would hurt him too much.
He wanted to keep her close to him...
Even if it wasn't right.
Gently, he brought his hand to hers, intertwined his fingers with hers, savoring the caress on her face.
Alex felt his heart racing.
Goren did not reject his gesture...
On the contrary...
His large hazel eyes of Eames posed on him, his mouth half-opened...
Forgive me Lord...
He missed Eames so much...
And her lips were just waiting to be plucked.
He had always dreamed of tasting it...
Just once...
Just once...
With gentleness, he took her face in his hands, brought his face closer to hers...
But then he stopped.
No, he shouldn't.
Eames' heart was pounding and she looked at him as if forbidden.
Was Goren really going to kiss her...
- Bobby...
At her name, Goren forgot all his good intentions...
Gently, he took possession of her lips.
- Ding...Dong...
