The Darkness Follows

Catching up

Medea was in the kitchen making herself some toast and coffee as she was getting ready for office. Suddenly the door bell went off. Wiping her hands on a kitchen towel, she walked out of kitchen into the living room. As soon as she opened the door part way, she saw his face and started to close it quickly. Eames wedged his hand just before it closed. "Just listen to me, please, Dove, just listen to me", he begged. Those eyes which Medea always thought looked like tiny bright stars were looking so dull today. He looked tired. "We are done, Eames, we are so done. I can not do this anymore. So just leave, please.", she said with her angry gray eyes welling up.

"Let me in, please..."

"I have to go to headquarters today. I don't have time for this." She walked in, leaving the door open, he followed her in and the door behind him with shaking hands. As she started towards her bedroom, he clasped her wrist from behind. "Medea, I don't think I have much time left before they came for me." Not even listening what he was saying, she shouted, "I DON'T CARE, just the way you did not about yesterday, what my parents thought of you, of me, of my fiance, of my choice which I made, defying them, yet they were willing to give us a chance and you ruined it all." "I know how important that dinner was for us and I was ---." "It doesn't even matters now, Eames. I'm going to office and if you have time today evening we will talk. She picked her bag and laptop and said, "There is coffee and toast in kitchen, have some if you want and please lock the door when you leave." "Dove, listen, please don't leave me, please, dove, don't, please...." But she left.

In the evening when she came back home, the door was ajar, as she went in, she saw everything was a scattered and thrown around as if there had been a fight in here, she called out,"Eames, EAMES..." But no one replied. So she called her best friend Adrianna. TBC
