House replayed the conversation in his mind, staring across the balcony, rolling an empty prescription bottle in his fingers. He was in pain again, afraid, and if he couldn't find the words to say it, Wilson had always been able to understand what House meant behind sarcastic deflection. Except now.

He'd put more faith in her than he'd thought he was capable of and seen it thrown back in his face.
