-House, it’s me, Wilson. Call me back when te get this message, I’ve got good news for you.
Wilson is at the same time happy and worried for his two friends. He doesn’t want to think about it, about Cuddy’s reaction when she’ll see House in Apton and understand he’s behind all this… Although the Apton’s hospital really needs someone to run it… This is not a House’s trick, it’s the truth. Fortunately. But Wilson is also convinced that Cuddy is not taken in da that. She knows something, otherwise why would she have told Wilson to thank House for her? How could she know? She’ll never stop surprising him. And I? What am I going to do now? Should I stay here at PPTH and keep on running the Oncology Department? o should I move? What do I want? … If House was there, I could ask him advice, we could speak about it, weigh up the pros and the cons… Maybe… maybe I could ask Cuddy, after all she’s my friend too. And Wilson goes to Cuddy’s office. She’s working at her desk, but she seems to be alone, her replacement certainly left.
-Hey Cuddy, everything’s ok? Is your replacement ready?
-Wilson? te again! Well, I hope he’ll be ready in 8 days…
- May I ask te some advice, Wilson says and sits in front of her.
- I suppose I have no choice but listen to you, she risposte and looks at him.
-Cuddy, I … I made the point of my life, I see te and House moving on, and …
-And te wonder if te have to sposta on too? Am I wrong?
-No, you’re right, and I’d like to talk about it … with you. I need someone to talk with.
-House is not here, so … What do te really want Wilson?
-I … I think I want what everyone wants, love, happiness, a good and interesting job… a family.
-That wasn’t really my question, Wilson. Do te want to stay here o do te need to change everything in your life?
-I don’t know, Cuddy. My job is good, I’ve got kind colleagues, but … but I’m alone, Sam left, House left and now you… I’m not sure I want to stay here alone, without my friends, without my family… because te and House are my family. Cuddy, what do te think I should do?
-I don’t know Wilson. … Do te have any idea where te can go if te leave PPTH?
-I know that in Seattle they need someone to run their Oncology Department…
-But te don’t want to go there… because te know no one there… because te know House isn’t there…
-No. … I miss him Cuddy.
-I know, Wilson. And … why don’t te go where he is?
-I … I don’t know where he is.
-Really? she says and smiles. Wilson, you’re a bad liar, I know te know where he is, otherwise te would be much più worried… I’m sure he gives te news…
-Do te think it would be a good idea ?
-Do te think te can handle him again? Do te think te can live in the same city as him? Do te think te can have your own life if te live near him? Do te think he lets te enough time for you? Are te ready to dedicate him again a big part of your time? Of your energy? But without lecturing him all the time? Because it is one of the criticism that he made us…
-I don’t know, … but on the other hand I don’t manage to have a life when he’s not here! I’m still worried about him even if he’s far away from me. Wilson stares at Cuddy who gives him his glance back. What would te do if te were me?
-Well, I think I’d ask the same domande as you, I’d probably choose to move, just like I’m gonna do with Rachel… But I have no idea if what I’m going to do is the right thing to do, if my choice is the best choice for Rachel and me… and for … And you? Do te think I’m right to leave PPTH and go on the other side of the country? Cuddy quickly adds.
-Well, te gave me your reasons… and after all, they’re good reasons, so … yeah, I think you’re right, Wilson says and looks at her intrigued. Who did she want to mention after her and Rachel? he wonders.
-Yeah, I hope so … And te probably can advance the same arguments… Too much memories here in this place, good time but also bad time, sadness, fear, despair…, she adds ,looks at Wilson and gives a hint of smile.
-Yeah, te make a good point, but can te assure me it would be better somewhere else?
-No, I can’t, Wilson, I can’t. But as for me, I know I can’t stay here either, I have to move, it’s a certainty.
Wilson looks at her, without saying a word, he’d want so much to have the same self-confidence as her, the same certainty about his life, about what he has to do, about what he needs… Cuddy smiles, she seems to have found a kind of peace, does she really know what House has planned? Wilson is dying to know it, but he can ask her nothing without risking to betray the secret of House.
-Thank you, Cuddy. … I’m gonna think about it, but you’re right, there are too much memories here…
-I know you’ll choose well.
-Wilson! Why didn’t te pick up? I try to unisciti te since one hour!
-House! Sorry, I had a meeting.
-So, does Cuddy accept the job in Apton?
-Yes, she accepts it, she has already begun to pack all her things and those of Rachel. But…
-YES!! I knew she’d come! … And what do te mean with “but”?
-House, she suspects something, I am sure of it!
-Why do te think she knows something? Did te tell her something that can lead her to think I have something to do with it?
-No, no, I didn’t say anything… but she told me to thank you…
-To thank me? For what? House asks, intrigued.
-I don’t know, she didn’t tell me, she just detto “Thank House for me”. Do te believe she discovered everything?
- I don’t know, I haven’t seen her. And… what about you? Did te think of what I told you?
-Yes, I also talked with Cuddy about it.
-What? te talked with Cuddy about it?!!
-Don’t worry, I just told her I’ll probably sposta too and I wanted to have some consigli from her, I didn’t mention you, I’m not that stupid!
-And what did she advise you?
-She just told me I really have to think about what I want, if I need to change everything in my life o just let the time do its work.
-Witty girl! I’m sure that helps te a lot! Wilson, trust me, te have to sposta here! We need each other, we need to share things at work and in our private life, we live in a kind of symbiosis, and te perfectly know that I’m right.
-Maybe…
-Tell me! Are te happy right now with your life?
-I … probably not, but I’m not sure I’ll be happier if I come live and work near you.
-I know a great bar, the barman is cool and there are a lot of pretty girls who just wait for you…
-Really? Do te think I’d like the city and the climate?
-Sure!
-And can te find me a job as oncologist in your hospital?
-Well, te maybe have to wait for Cuddy to find te a job, but … te can always come here for some vacations… and spend some time with your best friend.
-Why not? I need vacations, keep a room for me in your apartment, I’m coming successivo week!
