016. Lies
Lies, Damn Lies
House had come to accept, if not actually like, the idea that everyone lied. His team always scoffed whenever he said that but he knew he was right. Time would prove that to them. Everyone lied at some point, even he lied. Generally he found it frustrating and annoying, the lies standing in the way of proper treatment, of saving a life. But most of the time, he really didn't care. If people chose to lie, that was their problem.
He'd never expected a lie to hurt.
He watched Wilson walk into the bedroom…their bedroom…and felt the pain spread through his chest. Wilson had just lied to him. Had just told him he had a late meeting with his lawyer about the divorce. But if that was true, why had said lawyer called less than an hour ago confirming their meeting for tomorrow? No need to wonder what the lie was covering. All that remained was wondering how long it would take before the self-imposed guilt forced the self-imposed confession.
House stood where he was and stared towards their bedroom. Everyone lies but for once he wished he was wrong.
