Another glass of bitterness drowns out the open-and-close of the door. House joins him on the couch, eyeing the near-empty bottle, and Wilson knows how predictable this is. He’ll cheat on his women, but never on his guilt.
Even more ashamed by the lack of typical mockery, he tries to stand, but steady hands keep him from falling.
The blanket is yanked from the back of the couch. Wilson rests his head on House’s leg, the familiar wooly warmth embracing him as House snorts softly.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Wilson.”
And with his head and heart no longer reeling, Wilson smiles.
