Eames had seen the deep sadness on Goren's face.
And she couldn't get it out of her head.
Strangely enough, it squeezed her heart to see the sadness in him.
Why was he so sad when he spoke of his family members.
And why was she so touched by his sadness.
Moreover, what could have made him so unhappy.
So many questions she had in her head, and would love to ask him, to find out the reason or reasons.
- Get out of the window, Alex. And shut up. Beth grumbled as usual. I don't want to get bitten by mosquitoes.
For the ones they get...
- Pardon... You can say that again.
At her sister's words, Eames bit her lip, realizing that her sister had just heard what she had just mumbled.
Name of God...
She had to get out of this impasse.
But it was her big sister's fault.
Why wasn't she in her room, instead of in hers.
Alex wanted to be alone, to be able to think in peace.
But with her big sister, that was impossible.
That's why she stood at the window, clearing her head.
- I said...
At the person who had just appeared under her window sills, Eames stopped talking, losing her train of thought.
It was him, standing there with his back to us, his head raised, looking up at the sky.
Goren...
But just by his build, his height, and especially his ebony curls, she would have recognized him between a thousand and one.

Quickly she had to get him to turn around, and find something to talk about.
- There are a lot of stars in the sky tonight.
At Alex's voice, Goren tensed, realizing that the teenager was watching him.
So he turned to her, and nodded.
Good God...
If he'd wanted to do it on purpose, well, he couldn't have done better.
He was going to have to resign himself.
What was the point of running away from her, if fate always put her in his way?
In addition, Alex wasn't so unpleasant after all.
And she was even pleasant company, making him forget the sadness he carried around with him like a burden.
So this was Alex's room.
He didn't have too much time to think about it, as he saw his big sister Beth appear at his side, or rather the dragon, who, as soon as she caught sight of him, gave him a dirty look.
He was at least sure of one thing: Beth didn't have him in her heart, like so many others.
But he'd have liked to know why, and what he'd done to incur her wrath.

- Who are you talking to, Alex.
Beth got up from the bed where she was sitting, and walked towards her sister.
And when she got to her side, she looked in the direction her sister was looking.
She was surprised to discover Goren.
Oh no...
Not him again.
Seriously, what was fate playing at.
It was as if fate always put Goren in her sister's path.
If she wasn't the one going towards him, he was always there, either by her side or right in front of her.
It seemed to be on purpose.
And it was starting to seriously annoy her.
Alex was too young to be dating a man his own age.
And even a friend that age.
- Stop talking to her.
Pardon.
Stop talking to Goren...
And for what reason.
She didn't see why her sister got so involved.
And what were her manners.
Alex was in her own room, not Beth's, and she did what she wanted in her room.
Even if it openly displeased her sister.
Beth had no say in the matter.
And if she didn't like talking to Goren, there was nothing to stop her going back to her room.
On the contrary...
She could talk quietly with Goren.
- You can go back to your room if it bothers you that much.
What.

Beth could hardly hear her sister's words.
Alex couldn't have told her that.
And yet...
Alex had just told her word for word to go back to her room.
But of course.
As if she was going to let her little sister talk quietly with Goren.
But that was out of the question.
She was going to stay, whether her sister liked it or not.
Especially since there was only one floor separating them, and one window.
So no, Beth wasn't leaving.
She wasn't that stupid, and she didn't trust them at all, not at all.
- I'll leave you two sisters alone.
He turned, and began to walk away.
What.
But that's really what he was doing.
And all because of his older sister.
Eames turned to his sister and glared.
- Why are you doing this... You're enjoying this...
Eames had just shouted angrily at her sister, who looked at her as if forbidden, surprised by this outburst.
Name of God…

Her little sister had never raised her voice like that, especially in anger.
Had she been a little strong, forbidding her sister to speak to Goren.
By imagining the worst.
But Alex was her little sister, and it was her duty to protect her.
And above all, to protect her from men.
- Mind your own business.
But she was really angry.
- Bobby... Wait. She turned her attention back to the figure who was walking away, but stopped at her name, and turned around. Good night, Bobby.
With a big smile on her lips, she raised her hand and waved at him, to the shocked look of her older sister, which amused Goren.
But this show of affection embarrassed him, making his heart beat violently in his chest, so touched was he by a simple wave of the hand, a big smile and a good night.
Should he return her good night.
If he did, wouldn't she continue to be tempted to come and talk to him.
But on the other hand, not to do so would not only be rude, it would be mean.
Which Alex wasn't.
So he decided he'd return the favor, at the risk of seeing that teenage girl in his legs.
- Good night, lassie.
Pardon.

Alex opened his mouth only to close it again, shocked by her words.
Lassie...
He'd just called her a lassie.
But when she saw the mocking smile on Goren's lips, the way he arched his eyebrow, she knew he was mocking her.
So she glared at him, pursed her lips and pouted.
Yes...
Alex was a lassie.
And she was quick to react.
And it was a lot of fun.
So, seeing that she wasn't happy, he turned away and burst out laughing, under an Alex who couldn't take her eyes off him, and who was dismayed to hear him laughing out loud and openly mocking her.
