Eames finished up in Tokyo and then flew to meet Arthur in Paris. They caught up on what happened, Eames scolding Arthur for coming here and trying to confront Ariadne about the matter. And after everything, Eames knew he was in the wrong but at the time he thought she needed to get away from the job. She was already done with her part so where was the harm?

Eames sent Ariadne a quick text: I'm in Paris. I'm sorry.

She was in a cafe down the street from her flat just people watching when she got the text. Her phone buzzed on the table and she had a feeling who it was.

She looked at the message and sighed.

A few days later and her anger at the situation had subsided to a point, although she was still a little miffed at them. The thing she hated most was being treated like a child, which is how she felt they had treated her.

But she had to admit she also missed them. She knew what they'd done, they did out of love. Even if it wasn't the right thing.

She tapped out a message back after a few minutes.

Are you staying with Arthur?

[isnt_the_same]

Yes. Arthur and Eames were having lunch in the restaurant down on the first floor of the hotel they were in.

[inyourdreams]

Is he sorry too?

[isnt_the_same]

Yes. Very much so, darling. Arthur was indeed sorry. He knew it had been rash just showing up in her apartment.

[inyourdreams]

I'm still mad.

Although not as much.

[isnt_the_same]

I know.

[inyourdreams]

How did the job go?

[isnt_the_same]

Fine. We broke into his apartment and got what we needed.

[inyourdreams]

That's good.

[isnt_the_same]

Can we see you?

[inyourdreams]

I suppose.

[isnt_the_same]

Unless you don't want to, darling.

[inyourdreams]

No, I do.

She couldn't deny that she didn't like them being on the outs, that she missed them.

[isnt_the_same]

When and where?

[inyourdreams]

I'll come there. Later this afternoon?

[isnt_the_same]

Sure. Call or text us when you're on your way.

[inyourdreams]

Okay.

She caught her waiter's eye for the check.

Arthur and Eames finished their meal before going back upstairs to Arthur's suite.

[inyourdreams]

She went for a short walk before returning to her place to change.

At around 3:30 she headed to their hotel, texting Eames as she walked.

On my way.

[isnt_the_same]

Okay. We're in room 1010.

[inyourdreams]

She checked the text and when she got to the hotel went up to the 10th floor and found the room.

She knocked on the door.

[isnt_the_same]

Eames opened it with a smile. "Are you still too angry for a hug?"

[inyourdreams]

She rolled her eyes and couldn't help but smile a bit.

"I guess not," she said.

[isnt_the_same]

He pulled her inside by the hand and closed the door before wrapping his arms around her. "I really am sorry, my love."

[inyourdreams]

She wrapped her arms around him in return.

"I know," she said.
