Questions

House sometimes wondered if things would have been different if his leg could have been fixed.

Would he and Stacy have lasted? Would they have split up anyway? Or settled down and got married?

Would Wilson's marriage to his second wife have survived? Or would that divorce have been as inevitable as his first and now apparently his third?

Would he still have become so bitter, so misanthropic, so viciously sarcastic? He'd never been a nice man but how much of how he was now was due to the leg?

Would he still be so bafflingly attractive to Cameron if he wasn't broken? If he had no convenient excuse for being a son of a bitch?

Would Wilson be lying in his bed right now, sleeping the sleep of the well-fucked?

He didn't know and for the first time since those myriad of questions had first started running through his mind, he didn't care.
