da successivo day, Wilson burst in Pitt’s office and walked straight to the doctor’s bourbon table. Pitt looked at him as he poured liquid into two empty shot glasses with eyes bloodshot red from silent crying. The oncologist walked over to him and gave the other glass before taking his sede, sedile and sipping from him scotch. Wilson wasn’t meeting Pitt’s gaze as he twirl his glass.
Pitt: Any reason to celebrate?
Wilson shook his head and stood up and walked a few steps away as he looked outside with both hands in his side pockets before giving a heavy sigh.
Wilson: I’m giving up…
Pitt as well gave a heavy sigh. He knows it’s painful but he also knows, it’s the right thing for Wilson to do.
Pitt: <stammered> I…
Wilson: I can’t be chasing her forever…
Pitt: Glad te realized…
Wilson turned to look at him.
Wilson: Last night, I urged her to stay. Have a few più drinks. But she preferred to be here than enjoy herself out… ---- There’s no way, I can take her away…
Pitt: I guess… She’s enjoying herself out here anyway…
Wilson sighed and took the sede, sedile before Pitt again.
Pitt: te sure about this? --- I mean, no più backing outs?
Wilson shook his head and Pitt gave a nod.
An ora later, the door opened in the same office. House appeared on the doorway and Wilson and Pitt looked at him. His friend happened to notice half of his arm was still outside the doorway and when he pulled it in, there was Cuddy standing successivo to him. He was holding her hand and she did as well with his. Pitt gave them the look as they stood there before them before looking at Wilson who stood up.
House: Hey…
Wilson: <Nodded> Hey…
Cuddy looked at House.
Cuddy: I need to talk to Rick…
House nodded and let her hand go as Wilson watched them. The oncologist’s world almost ended the moment House leaned down and kissed Cuddy on the forehead as she closed her eyes in disbelief that House had done that sweet gesture. Wilson started gathering his belongings and started making his way out of the room. He tapped House’s shoulder and tried to smile to Cuddy before totally leaving the office. Not long after, House left the room as well.
Cuddy was still in Pitt’s office, having some tè while Leggere House’s progress segnala and Pitt was looking at her, after a few minutes. Although she wasn’t looking back at him, she could feel his piercing gaze on her so she glanced up to look back at him.
Cuddy: What?
Pitt made a smirk and leaned on his chair.
Pitt: Nothing… Never thought I would see House that happy…
Cuddy rolled her eyes and placed the cup and segnala down.
Cuddy: It’s nothing.
Pitt: I say nothing, te say nothing. te know where we’re heading, nothing.
Cuddy: It’s not a big deal…
Pitt: Lisa, it’s a big deal. Are te and House already are together?
Cuddy rolled her eyes again and began Leggere the segnala once more.
Pitt: I was wondering ----
Cuddy: Why is his mental chart shows no progress?
Pitt: Oh c’mon, don’t deflect ---
Cuddy: I’m not ---
Cuddy gave the chart to him which he himself looked on.
Cuddy: His last clinic visit was two weeks ago…
Pitt: <sighed> Maybe the doctor ---
Cuddy: You’re his doctor…
Pitt: Oh, it’s not just me. We are three in this case and I only handle few of his sessions now.
Cuddy: Who’s the other two?
Pitt: Bridget and Goldstein.
Cuddy got up and started dialing up a phone number.
Cuddy: Tell them to get off the case, I’m bringing in someone.
Pitt: House requested them to handle his case ---
Cuddy: Rick…
Pitt: Okay, okay, okay. I’ll make some calls.
He closed the file and stared at her again as she got someone on the line.
Cuddy: Yes, this is Dr. Lisa Cuddy ---- Uh-huh, from Princeton-Plainsboro ---- May I talk with Dr. Cate Milton, please? ---- Oh, thank te ---- I’ll just call her later then ---- Thank you
Cuddy shut her phone down.
Pitt: You’re bringing in Cate Milton?!
Cuddy: I’m sure he wouldn’t mind…
Pitt: He’ll be surprise and might be… mad about your decision… This isn’t your call…
Cuddy: For some reasons, this is part of MY call. He wouldn’t mind…
Pitt: For some reasons? Like what? ---- Lisa… Are te and House already involved?
Cuddy sighed and rubbed a few fingers on her forehead while looking slightly down.
Pitt: Any reason to celebrate?
Wilson shook his head and stood up and walked a few steps away as he looked outside with both hands in his side pockets before giving a heavy sigh.
Wilson: I’m giving up…
Pitt as well gave a heavy sigh. He knows it’s painful but he also knows, it’s the right thing for Wilson to do.
