7. "Head Over Heels" by Blue Rodeo
He leaned against the nurses' station, arms crossed, waiting for her. She didn't notice him right away, so he called her name.
"Hi," she said. "Does House want something?"
"This has nothing to do with House," he said. "I just thought maybe, when you're done here, we could go for a drink, or get some dinner."
"So you came all the way down here to ask me out," she said.
"Yeah," he said.
For a minute, he thought she was going to say yes.
"No," she said. "But you can come over to my place around nine."
"Sure," he said.
8. "Carefree Highway" by Gordon Lightfoot
Stacy held her phone, trying to think of the right way to begin this conversation.
What would she say? Hi Greg, how's life going? I'm married now. My husband's sick and needs you to cure him. She didn't know if he'd even speak to her. Mark had an appointment with that specialist in Pittsburgh in two weeks, anyway. Maybe they'd find some answers there.
She walked to the bedroom. Lying down next to Mark, watching him sleep, she made up her mind.
She couldn't talk to Greg over the phone. She would go to him in person. For Mark's sake.
9. "Steal My Sunshine" by Len
House had noticed Wilson was stressed out lately. He snapped more, seemed distracted, and looked pale. House decided he needed some excitement in his life.
So, on Wilson's next day off, House pounded on the door bright and early, yelling, "Rise and shine!"
"Why are you even awake this early?" Wilson grumbled, yanking the door open.
"We're going for a drive," House said. "Don't forget your wallet."
"You expect me to just drop everything and run off with you?" Wilson asked.
"Yep," House said cheerfully. "Hurry up."
Wilson pinched the bridge of his nose, then said, "Give me ten minutes."
10. "Shambala" by Three Dog Night
Wilson opened a bag of potato chips and took a handful before House could get ahold of them.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but this was actually a good idea," he said.
"You doubted me?" House pretended to pout, then snatched the bag away.
House looked around the crowded beach while he stuffed chips in his mouth. They'd ended up at a women's volleyball tournament, making a few stops along the way to stock up on junk food. He'd figured that would be enough to cheer anyone up, at least temporarily. And, judging from Wilson's smile, he'd been right.
11. "The Red Strokes" by Garth Brooks
Wilson hadn't paid any attention to the storm outside until the power went out.
Now, in the dark with no TV for distraction, he was noticing a lot of things besides the storm, mainly how close he and House were sitting. They were close enough that their shoulders and arms touched.
"I should go look for a flashlight," he said, to break the silence.
"Nah," House said, quieter than usual. "It'll probably come back on in a minute."
Wilson noticed that House hadn't pushed him away. Gradually he relaxed, leaning into House. They watched the lightning flicker through the windows.
