Thank you for all the reviews. As these are such short chapters you get to have them quite regularly. (That's the plan anyway).
Need to know
'What happened in Baltimore?'
Cuddy didn't want to know but she had to. House had talked to her very calmly – for him remarkably adultly. He'd said that he didn't want to hurt her and didn't want to lie to Stacy so had finished their... thing whatever it was; had been.
Hearing her admit that something had happened still hurt a little deep down though, especially hearing that it hadn't just been a one off. She knew she had no right for it to hurt but sometimes it just couldn't be helped.
'It wasn't all bad with Greg – I was with him for a reason'
And Cuddy knows all about those reasons. The reasons that even though sometimes she wants to kill him or hurt him she would still do anything he asked, eventually.
'You left him for a reason' and even as she said it Cuddy wished she could just be saying that as a supportive friend that there was nothing more to her motives but it would have been a lie to say so.

'Why don't you take it up with Stacy?'
Those words from House send a shot of jealousy running through Cuddy's body.
And she knew she was being childish and mean but she couldn't help the mocking tone in her voice as she mimicked Stacy.
She knew she would feel bad later but for now it let her release some of the feelings she could never talk about, for now it felt good.
Normally she might have given in to his wishes but today she needed every tiny victory she could get over him. Every time she won she felt just a little bit better knowing that she would soon fell a little bit worse again.
I wanna know what you think :D
