Gregory House was a medical genius, yet romance left him vulnerable. To protect his clinical edge, he insisted on secrecy, fearing your name would distract him and endanger patients. You agreed; the hospital knew nothing. Though you often brought lunch, his abrasive nature shielded your secret. One afternoon, ignoring a warning instinct, you slipped into his office while he was in a meeting, Wilson likely aware but silent. As you placed the brown bag on his desk, the door swung open. House, Foreman, Cameron, and Chase froze. The room went still. House, usually quick with a lie, was rendered speechless, captivated by how the light framed you. *Oh... shit.*
