"Cameron, wait!" Max called when he saw her coming from the clinic.
Cameron was in such a hurry that she didn't even here him calling her. Stopping in front of the elevator, she pushed the button repeatedly.
"Didn't you hear me?" Max asked when he caught up to her.
Jerking her head to him, she smiled apologetically. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. Look, I can't talk right now. I'm in a hurry. Do you by any chance know what time it is?"
Max checked his watch and told her '11.57 pm'. She cursed and began to run towards the stairs.
"Wait, where are you going?" He asked running after her.
Cameron stopped dead in her tracks. Where was she going? Where did he want to meet her?
Looking at the letter, she read the words again.
Where the building ends and the sky begins.
Where is that place? She looked horrified. She would be late because she didn't know where to meet him. Then it hit her. The roof. He was at the roof.
She began to run up the stairs, ignoring Max still calling for her.

"I'm sorry" Wilson apologized after breaking of the kiss looking away from her.
"I'm not." Cuddy stated. He looked back at her and smiled weakly.
"Honestly me neither but…" he stopped and lowered his gaze to his hands in his lap, "…I think I'm not quite ready to jump from one relationship to another. If there is going to be something between us I want it to be different. I want to take everything slowly."
Cuddy nodded in understanding. She didn't mind not to rush anything. As long as they would try, she'd be happy.
She placed her hand over his and gave it a slight squeeze. "Do you want to go back to the party?"
Wilson took a deep breath and shook his head. "No, I don't. I might run into her and I really don't want to see her or your brother." He said bitterly.
"Ok. So why don't we go for a walk?" She smiled at him. "They don't need me here anyway."
He nodded and stood up extending his hand to her.
Taking his hand, they both walked out of the office.

"No." Cameron whispered. "I came too late."
She was standing in the doorway slightly out of breath because of the running and stared at the table for two just a few feet away from her. It had been lovingly decorated with red and white roses in the middle of the table and dinner already on the plates. She didn't know she was crying until the second she felt something wet rolling down her cheeks. Her last chance and at the same time her real first chance with him and she came too late.
"I thought you wouldn't come." A gruff voice said from behind her. She spun around and looked him in those hypnotizing crystal blue eyes.
"I'm sorry. It was nearly midnight when I read your letter and as soon as I finished I run as fast as I could."
He nodded once and looked away from her.
"How late was I?" She asked trying to lighten up the mood, knowing that she wasn't an hour late, but still.
Looking at his watch, he replied. "Ten minutes."
Cameron laughed and House looked at her confused.
"I'm always on time and you are the one coming to work late or to appointments. Now, I was the one being late, for the first time in my life and you were on time. What I'm trying to say is that for the one thing that's important I come too late." She said trying to explain her amusement.
House smiled at her. He was glad she came. Seeing her smiling at him, he felt a funny feeling in his stomach. He was actually smiling for the simple fact that she was laughing. It was rare that he smiled but he felt he couldn't stop it.
"You really thought I wouldn't show up?"
His smile slowly faded.
Did that thought occur to him? Yes, it did. But was he more sure she would meet him. Hell yes. "I wasn't sure. A part of my head yelled to wait because you would come and the other was shouting what an idiot I was to try to be with someone like you."
"Don't."
"Don't what?"
"Don't say that you're an idiot for trying to be with me, to be happy. And stop talking about me as if I'm better than you. Because I'm not. I just lo-, I mean I like you." She almost let the word 'love' pass her lips and it didn't go unnoticed by him.
Nodding he let his gaze travel all down way down her body.
"I was right about the size of the dress wasn't I?" he asked smirking.
Cameron giggled. "Yes indeed."
"I guess we better eat or the food will get cold." She turned and started to walk towards the table when she felt a hand grab her arm. He spun her around and pressed his lips softly to hers. The kiss was sweet and soft at first but quickly their tongues were battling. Both stopped kissing because they were feeling lightheaded from the lack of oxygen.
"Definitely better than the first time." Cameron admitted with the biggest grin she'd ever had.
"That's because you didn't have a needle with you." He winked at her.
She slapped him lightly on the arm and laughed. "Let's eat."
