The night was well underway, as Goren and Eames strolled through the central park, hand in hand, lit by the soft glow of the moon.
It had been a trying day for both of them, with only one thing to look forward to.
Goren had given Eames his apartment key, and she came whenever she wanted.
Alex stopped suddenly, lifting her face, and her big hazel eyes to Goren's face.
- I love you Bobby.
At her words, Goren blushed violently, his heart pounding in his chest ready to break.
Every time Eames said I love you, he didn't know where to put himself.
It was so embarrassing.
Eames was very affectionate with him...
As much by her gestures, as by her words...
But he never knew how to react.
He was always afraid...
Afraid that if he told her he loved her...
She would disappear...
And that everything they had experienced was just a dream.
Alex looked at him with insistence, her big hazel eyes, questioning him, and waiting for an answer.
What could he say...
What could he do...
Reluctantly, and without an answer from Goren, Eames let go of his hand, stepped aside, and brought his hands to his chest.
- It's not fair... In his voice was reproach. Why do you tell Logan how you feel... She moved on, leaving him a little distance away. And never to me.
What the hell...
What could Mike have said to Alex, about how he felt.
Knowing that idiot...
He could have told him that he loved Eames.
Goren shrugged.
It wasn't Logan's place to say these things...
To tell Eames how he felt...
But to him.
Eames continued to walk forward without waiting for him.
She started to disappear before his eyes...
As if...
No, it couldn't be possible.
What he had experienced with Eames was not a dream...
Nor his imagination.
But seeing Eames' body disappear, scared him.
Goren reached out his hand, trying to catch Eames.
No...
Everything but that...
Alex...
He scratched his eyes, trying to see a little more clearly.
And especially to stop seeing this vision of Alex disappearing.
Alex disappearing before his eyes...
Was the worst thing that could happen to him.
Her heart clenched.
- Alex...
At his name, Alex stopped, and turned around, facing Goren.
He had to get up the courage.
Tell her how he felt before she disappeared.
- I love you...
Scarlet, he brought his hand to his lips, masking them.
A gust of wind passed by at that moment, making Alex's golden hair fly away, his face lighting up, giving him a big smile, his big hazel eyes shining with love.
It was the most beautiful day of her life.
Goren had finally told her he loved her.
She knew from Logan that he loved her...
But she wanted to hear it from him.
Eames rushed towards Goren.
Arriving at his side, she put her hand on his wrist, pulling him down.
She brought her lips to his face, and placed a kiss on his lips.
Goren blushed violently at this gesture.
God...
That was so embarrassing.
But that smile...
Her eyes...
That joy that was on Eames' face...
When he told her how he felt about her...
Was worth all the treasures in the world.
- You come...
The heart beating to break, and not leaving Alex of the eyes, he let her guide him.
