- What do you think, Mike.
Logan looked closely at the small object in the palm of his hand.
- It's really pretty. Especially the symbol and the inscription.
Was it true.
Logan thought it was pretty.
So maybe Eames would like it.
But Goren was afraid.
He wanted so much to give him this object, but he didn't know how Eames would take it.
And that was what scared him.
- Don't worry. Logan gave Goren a friendly pat on the shoulder. Eames will going to love him.
- Do you really think...
Of course Logan was sure that Eames would love this object.
This object represented how Goren felt about Eames, and Logan was one hundred percent sure that such a gift could only please him.
Was Goren forgetting that Eames was a simple woman.
No matter what he offering her, she was happy that he was thinking of her.
Logan couldn't forget the medal Eames always carried with her.
It was a gift she never parted with, and it had come from Goren.
So this object, so small in her hand, was bound to please him.
- Eames will...
- Goren... Logan...
At Barek's panicked voice, running towards them, Goren and Logan turned in his direction.
Strange...
Eames wasn't with Barek.
Goren was sure she should have joined her.
So why wasn't she with her.
And the look on Barek's face at that moment gave her a bad feeling.
When she reached them, Barek stopped and bent over, trying to catch her breath.
- Alex... She...
At her words, Goren felt a violent anxiety rise up inside him.
If Barek was alone and out of breath, then something must have happened to Alex.
- What Alex... What's going on...
At Goren's shout, Logan approached Barek and put his hands on her shoulders.
- Take your time. And try to catch your breath.
And how...
When Goren was shouting at her, wanting to know what was going on with Alex, and she'd run to tell them what was going on, to the point of being completely out of breath.
- You're going to talk, Barek.
Goren approached Barek, but Logan put his hand in front of her, preventing him from getting any closer.
- You're not going to find out what's going on by shouting at him.
Yes, that was true.
But Goren needed to know.
Especially if something had happened to Alex.
- Alex was supposed to join me... But she never arrived. I looked for her... But I couldn't find her.
My God...
No.
At words of Barek, Goren flicked.
- You mean...
Barek nodded, his face serious.
It couldn't be...
Her little Alex...
Her Alex.
No, nothing could have happened to her.
And yet...
This growing anxiety was telling him that it was possible.
So, without wasting a second, he moved away from Logan and Barek, but stopped and turned back to them.
- I'll look for her over that here...
- And we... We'll look for her on the other side.
With that, Goren ran off in search of Eames.
- Alex... Alex...
No reply.
My God...
Where could Eames she have gone.
And the longer Goren took to look for her, the more worried he became.
He absolutely had to think clearly and, above all, put himself in Eames' shoes to find out where she could have gone.
And suddenly, he had an epiphany.
The beach...
Goren hadn't thought of that.
Knowing the little lady, she had undoubtedly wanted to take a stroll there.
Without hesitation, he headed towards the page.
When he reached the hill overlooking the beach, Goren raised his hand above his eyes and looked for Eames.
But there didn't seem to be anyone there.
Well, almost.
In the distance, at the water's edge, there was something that caught his eye.
Or rather someone.
The person was lying face down in the water, his body washed up by the waves.
Goren's heart froze at the sight.
My God...
Anything but that.
And yet...
That golden hair, that small body, it was Eames.
In a panic, he ran down the hill and rushed towards Eames' body.
Please...
Make let this be a nightmare.
When he reached the body, Goren gently turned the body over, took his hand to his hair, pushed it away from his face and, with his other hand, put his fingers on his neck to feel for his pulse.
But Eames's pulse was very discreet.
Far too discreet for her liking.
And that didn't bode well.
So he didn't waste a second, it was absolutely essential to perform first aid.
He brought his fingers to her little nose, pinched it, and lowered his face towards hers, taking her lips, giving her mouth to mouth.
He placed his hands firmly on her breastbone, pressing down twice a second.
- Alex... Please... Don't do this to me.
He put his fingers back on her nose, pinched it, and took her lips again.
Suddenly, Eames' body shook, she threw back her head, tilted it to one side, and spat out most of the water she'd swallowed.
He ran his fingers through her unruly hair and put it back in place.
- That's good Alex.
Gently, he lifted Eames into his arms and headed for the hotel.
- Everything's going to be fine now... Alex.
What was Goren saying to him.
Eames shewas still in the vapes, and didn't understand what had just happened.
But the sound of Goren's heart beating in her ear lulled her.
So she snuggled her head a little more against his chest, and little by little, she fell asleep.
Eames was so good.
She was warm.
And she wouldn't have woken up for the world.
But that little voice calling to her in the distance...
It sounded so worried that she decided to open her eyelids.
She found herself face to face with two brown eyes looking at her, shining with concern, a worried face leaning towards her, and her head resting on Goren's thighs.
- At last you've woken up. You gave me a fright, Alex.
How that...
At last she was waking up.
And above all, she'd scared Goren.
And how.
Eames couldn't remember much.
She remembered walking along the water's edge and at one point feeling a little dizzy, followed by a feeling of faintness.
But afterwards, Eames couldn't remember a thing, it was complete darkness.
- You scared Logan, Barek and me. You nearly drowned.
She nearly drowned...
My God...
So that meant that she had indeed felt ill at the water's edge.
And that she had swallowed some water.
But how did he know where to find her.
- I got inside your head to find you.
So that was it.
He'd got inside her head.
That was all him.
But then, why couldn't he see how she felt about him.
If he could know her thoughts, why her feelings for him, he couldn't see them.
But what she did know at that moment, what she could see, was the deep concern in Goren's brown eyes as he gazed at her, and the look of worry on his face.
So Goren had been afraid for her.
Did this mean that she meant something to him.
At the thought, her heart raced, ready to break.
Gently, she brought her hand to his cheek and brushed against it.
- I'm sorry I worried you.
Eames was sorry to have worried him...
But Goren didn't blame him.
He had been more afraid of losing her than anything else.
If anything had happened to Eames, he would never have recovered.
And the thought of her almost dying was the worst thing he'd ever experienced in his life.
And he would never want to go through something like that again.
- Oh Alex... If you only knew...
At Goren's voice breaking, and that him wrapping his arms around her waist, lowering his body to hers, for hugged her to him, and bury his head against her shoulder, Eames realised that she was important to Goren.
