Disclaimer: The Characters from House M.D. aren't my property

Sarah bumped into someone on the way out of her brother's office.

"Sorry." She said looking up at a girl who seemed about her age. A doctor, she could tell by the lab coat. The girl was a little shorter than her with lighter hair pulled back.

"Oh no I'm sorry I wasn't looking." Dr. Allison Cameron said.

"Trust me I slammed out of James office and would've hit whoever was out here." Sarah told her apologetically. "I'm Sarah Wilson. If you know James the bloke is my brother."

"I do. I'm a member of Dr. House's staff. Allison." She introduced herself.

"It's good to meet you knowing a girl in town could come in handy." Sarah said.

"Did you just move here?" Allison Cameron asked her.

"Yesterday." She told her.

They chatted a moment and exchanged numbers both glad to have a new girlfriend.

Sarah made one more stop before leaving, to Diagnostic Medicine. She passed a conference room where she noticed Eric Foreman and a blonde man both sitting with their feet up on the table reading medical journals. She kept going and turned into House's office where she noticed him playing his gameboy.

"Afternoon Gregory." She said walking in. When he didn't acknowledge her she grabbed his game boy and watched his face contort in anger. "Get over it there's a pause button." She told him.

"To what do I owe this pleasure? You do realize my time at work is worth a lot of money." He said.

"And after hours?" She asked her eyebrows rising.

"Jimmy would kick my ass the leg gives him an advantage." House said with a calm gaze.

Sarah smiled showing a slight dimple, "My money would still be on you."

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Oh you mean now? Just thought I'd stop by to brighten your day." She said with a little laugh.

"Sarah." He warned and she bit her bottom lip. Him saying her name in that tone shot heat through her stomach as opposed to the wince that was generated when James did the same.

It was those uncontrolled responses she had to him that wouldn't let her move on.

"I'll see you later." Sarah said turning to leave and he just watched her. It was a few minutes after she left that he threw a ball at the glass wall of the conference room when he realized she'd stolen his game boy.

Foreman and Chase came in the room a little later.

"You know Sarah Wilson?" Foreman asked.

"Jimmy has been my friend for while." House said dryly.

"Is she married?" Foreman asked.

"Ok if you are gonna ask me a question don't make it one that can be answered with a glance at the girls hand. It just lowers my opinion of your brain capacity." House retorted.

"I was distracted." Foreman said.

"Wilson would kick your ass." House told him roughly.

"He introduced us." Foreman told him.

"So why are you talking to me?" House threw back dismissingly.

That evening House was playing his piano nursing a drink. There was a knock on his door. He chose to ignore it. "Go away." But the knocking continued. He cursed and got up grabbing his cane to answer the door.

Sarah was standing there with a brown bag.
