Chapter 11

"From all the nagging about getting back to work and growing up, I'm surprised to see you having fun on hospital time."

Harrington looked up to see House leaning in her doorway. He popped a vicodin and limped into her office. She had been taking a mental break from some reading and was playing an electronic hand-held Yahtzee.

"I am on break. I have been sitting here for three hours doing a lot of work, probably more than you've done in three years. I deserve a break whereas you are always on break. Now, what do you want?"

"I was bored and find fun in annoying you."

"Oh lucky day. How the gods have smiled down on me." Harrington said sarcastically.

House smiled slyly at her and with mock giddiness said, "I knew that you'd be happy."

She rolled her eyes at him and sighed heavily, rubbing her forehead. 'Seriously, why are you here?"

"Like I said, came to annoy you. I think that I've accomplished that, so I'll be on my way. Jimmy is next." He said with a smile and eyebrow wiggle. He turned and walked out the door, leaving her shaking her head. She just didn't get him sometimes. He left smiling, for he got some insight into who Dr. Harrington was from what he saw in her office. He was still on the mission to find out all he could about her. Now he was off to question Wilson on his familiar usage of Harrington's first name at lunch yesterday.
