Chapter 21
"Has House seemed...odd to you?" the three suddenly looked up to see Stacey standing before them
So he wasn't the only one who had noticed a change of behaviour in his boss. It looked like Stacey suspected something was going on too. For all her words about being over House she still turned green if anyone so much as glanced at him. Now because she was miserable without House, she wanted him to be miserable without her. It was plain to all that Wilson was stopping House being miserable.
"No odder than usual. He seems happier since Dr Wilson arrived here; I don't think I've seen him happier with anyone else, why?"
Chase bit back a laugh. Part of the laugh was because of Cameron's not-so-subtle jibe at House and Stacey's relationship. The other part was because Cameron had no idea of how close she was to (what Chase considered) the truth about House and Wilson.
"What about you, Chase? You chat to all the gossipy nurses, don't you?" Stacey leered at him
Chase wondered whether to share his exciting suspicion with them or keep it to himself. Sure, it would be fun to gossip about it but at what price? If Cameron knew she'd be devastated and Foreman would take complete advantage of it. Neither one would be able to keep it to themselves. Foreman and Stacey would instantly run to Cuddy and Chase would be left with an upset Cameron.
"If something's going on with House then I haven't heard about it"
For all his faults House deserved to be happy. Whatever was going on didn't change his opinion of either doctor. Of course, if it was going to impact his career he'd screw them both over in a heartbeat. For now, all their "relationship" was doing was making going to work easier and much more pleasant.
Stacey didn't bother asking Foreman. Either Cameron and Chase really hadn't heard anything or they weren't telling. If Cameron and Chase hadn't heard then Foreman certainly wouldn't have and if Cameron and Chase weren't telling then Foreman definitely wouldn't tell (unless he gained from it but if he gained from telling her he would have already said something).
