Cuddy had been on the phone for over ten 分钟 with the event planner. There would be a hospital winter carnival in the 下一个 week to help raise money for the pediatric ward and her planner, Jane, was getting her approval on a few minor touches. House was getting a little bored of waiting and began to look through Cuddy's bookshelf.
"She still has a thing for chick lit," he 说 to himself as he traced a finger over her well-worn copy of Pride and Prejudice. He then noticed she had a few surprising works in her literary library.
"Einstein's Dreams, Nine Stories, and The Complete Works of Kafka. This is surprising."
"What's so surprising? I read all kinds of things." Cuddy 说 as she walked back into the room.
House picked up a book and sat down on the sofa. Cuddy sat 下一个 to him.
"I didn't know 你 liked Rilke," House 说 as he opened to a 随意 page.
Cuddy smiled at his intrigue. Cuddy pulled the book from him and opened to her 最喜爱的 passage.
"Loving does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person, it is a high inducement for the individual to ripen, to become something in himself,to become world, to become world in himself for the sake of another person," Cuddy 说 without once looking at the page itself. Her eyes remained on House.
"Subtle, Cuddy."
Cuddy laughed at him and closed the book.
"Why did 你 really come over tonight?"
"I need a reason?" He 说 with that devilish gleam in his eye.
"If 你 won't tell me then 你 should go. I need to get some rest and..."
"I know 你 saw me with her," He 说 faster than he meant to.
Cuddy held a hand to her head and leaned back into the 长椅, 沙发 cushions.
"She was what 你 thought she was." He 说 looking at his shoes.
Cuddy stood up and went to sit in the armchair.
"You don't owe me an explanation. We're not together...I mean I was a little taken aback 由 it but I'm fine."
House stood up with his cane and stood 由 her front door.
"We both know what 'fine' really means."
Cuddy kept her gaze on the falling snow.
"You should go."
Without saying another word House opened the door and left. Cuddy suddenly felt very cold. She felt a hollow point in her heart. Suddenly, she heard the muffled cry of Rachel, and Cuddy ran to the nursery to comfort her baby.
