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.

"I've always valued being able to take care of myself," she said. "But the truth is, I needed you that night. I couldn't defend myself. That's not easy for me to accept."

[isnt_the_same]

"And I'm sorry I came too late," Eames said. "As you should be," Arthur added, glaring slightly.

[inyourdreams]

"Arthur," she sighed. "It's not his fault."

She looked at Eames.

"You did get there in time," she said. "Things could have been a lot worse. I'm okay."

[isnt_the_same]

"I can't stop picturing him all over you," Eames said quietly with a sigh.

[inyourdreams]

She felt a chill go through her body. That night was still vivid in her mind.

"Me too," she said.

Eames kissed her face and nuzzled her hair with his nose.

[inyourdreams]

She closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them to look at Arthur, begging him not to blame Eames.

Arthur sighed a looked away.

[inyourdreams]

"I'm here. I'm okay," she said, her hand moving to take Arthur's that wasn't around her shoulders.

[isnt_the_same]

"Yeah I know," Arthur murmured.

[inyourdreams]

She squeezed his hand and looked at Eames.

Eames kissed the spot between her brows.

[inyourdreams]

She closed her eyes with a small smile.

Arthur squeezed his shoulder. "Want to go out tonight?"

Eames shrugged. "Sure."

[inyourdreams]

"Where?" she asked.

[isnt_the_same]

"A restaurant?" Arthur suggested.

[inyourdreams]

"I'm not really dressed for anywhere too nice," she said. "But sure."

She hadn't really been eating much the past few days.

[isnt_the_same]

"I can cook," Arthur added.

[inyourdreams]

"Yeah? I do love your cooking," she said. "What do you think Eames?"

[isnt_the_same]

"Whatever you two want," Eames replied.

[inyourdreams]

"Well, then I say it's up to you Arthur," she said. "Whether you want to cook or not."

[isnt_the_same]

"I can cook," he said. "We'll go to your place."

[inyourdreams]

"Okay," she said with a nod. "We'll have to pick some things up on the way. I don't really have much food."

[isnt_the_same]

"That's fine," Arthur said.

[inyourdreams]

She nodded.
