The clinic was awfully quiet on a day like today, and for the two people, who really weren't actual patients, they wanted it to remain that way. One, a male, named Lucas Douglas, leaned casually against the wall, his eyes glued to the office doors of the hospital's dean of medicine. The other, named Lydia Bohm, a female of about Lucas's age; sat in one of the plastic chairs, waiting quietly, her eyes on the elevators. They ignored each others presence, as if any disturbance from their waiting would ruin the stillness and concentration of the area around them.

"I told you House, it's not legal!" a voice interrupted them, breaking the calm of the afternoon. Lucas turned his head towards the two approaching figures, his eyes fixed on the woman, a hint of anger riddled with longing visible in them. Lydia, on the other hand, seemed to ignore the outburst, but turned her head ever so slightly so she could see the approaching couple.

"Cuddy, just let me do the damn biopsy," House limped after her as she picked up her pace, "No one will ever know." He caught her by the arm. "Pwease?" His puppy-dog face was a horrible one, but Cuddy didn't have the heart to tell him that. Instead, she nodded, before disappearing into her office, leaving a triumphant House, a surprised Lydia and and a . With a triumphant grin, House left the clinic, closely followed by a silent Lydia.

Lucas, sensing that Cuddy would be alone for a while, made his way to her office doors and pushed them open, already knowing what to expect.

"Go away," Cuddy didn't bother to look up, "I said you could do the biopsy House."

Moving towards her, Lucas stopped in front of her desk. "Lisa," he began, but she looked up before he could continue.

"What Lucas?" Cuddy began, pushing aside a loose strand of her hair, "Listen, if you want to talk about us, then please, can it wait?"

"Look, I – " He stopped, "What does House have that I don't?"

"House?" Cuddy tried not to laugh, "Where are you getting this from?"

"He's a cripple Lisa! What happiness ..." Both him and Cuddy turned as the door banged open, House half-wandering in.

"You thought you could really make me moan, I had better sex all along. I had to do your friend, now you want me to come back. You must be smokin' crack, I'm goin' else where and that's a fact..."House looked up, ignoring the look on Cuddy's face as he made his way towards Cuddy's desk, dropping his cane on the back of the chair. He took a seat, earning a glare from Lucas and a hidden grateful smile from Cuddy.

"Lisa, tell House I was good in bed..." Lucas interrupted House's sudden interest in drumming a rhythm on Cuddy's desk. Embarrassed, Cuddy blushed and busied herself with the papers on her desk, avoiding Lucas' eyes.

"Oh my God," House turned on Lucas, "Apparently you wasn't." He stood, grabbing his cane, "One night with me twenty years ago makes everyone since then look like crap." Stopping at the door, he caught Cuddy's eye, "It's not her fault." Turning he walked out of the room, singing quietly again. "Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings, the world, for once, in perfect harmony, with all its living things." His voice faded away as he made his way towards the exam rooms; confused, disgusted, and shocked eyes following him.

"Okay, what ..." House looked up upon entering the exam room, his eyes meeting the face of the last person he wanted to see.

"Greg," Lydia stood, "We need to ..."

"No we don't need to do anything!" House cried, dropping the file on the counter, "You need to move on, what happened happened and we can't erase it! Unless there's something seriously wrong with you then get out."

Lydia looked up at him, her eyes blazing, and without another word, she turned on her heel, slamming the door of the exam room behind her. She was so flustered and angry, she hadn't expected him to act like this, all they needed to do was to clear up any final misunderstandings. Instead he assumed she wanted to jump in the sack with him. Well, she did, that's why she had settled for a divorce the week after they moved to Arizona. Right away, she had purchased an apartment in Plainsboro, and prepped herself for her first meeting with him. Now, it was falling apart. She was so angry, at House, at herself, everyone, and sudden tears blurred her vision, so she could barely see where she was going.

"Hey! Watch it!" a voice cried and two hands reached out to steady her.

"Oh, sorry!" Lydia reached up, wiping her eyes quickly. "I should have been ..."

"No you shouldn't have," the guy talking to her cut her off, "I'm Lucas Douglas, you?"

"Lydia Bohm," she replied, "What were you doing here? I saw you in the clinic earlier, but we didn't really acknowledge each other."

"I was dating the dean of medicine here, until recently," Lucas took her by the elbow, leading her towards the exit, "You?"

"House and I met when he was in Mayfield," she began, "I just wanted to talk to him."

"Seemed like a lot more than that," Lucas stopped her, "Did you like him?"

Lydia hesitated, unsure of what to say, "Yes, I did, and I still do."

"Then come with me, we have lots to talk about."
