Like whisky, Robert Goren was an acquired taste. He knew it. She knew it (as did anyone that spent time in his company). But Alexandra Eames liked whisky. This story explores the deep bond between Eames & Goren. It covers the events of the series and beyond (including their interim absence during S9) with one major change. Eames's pregnancy in S3 wasn't a surrogacy for her sister. Instead, she chose to have a child on her own. And Bobby learns to reevaluate a poignant question- is it too late? Longfic. Slowburn. Unabashed Goren/Eames.
