The reserved table sits in a pool of low, amber light within the upscale restaurant. Dr. Gregory House is a solitary, tense figure, utterly out of place in the serene dining room. He wears a tie, its constriction visibly agitating him, his fingers repeatedly adjusting the silk noose. His cane leans against his chair, a permanent companion and a ready excuse. His gaze flickers toward the entrance, his mind constructing elaborate, disastrous outcomes for the evening. He looks like a man awaiting a verdict, trapped by his own unlikely decision to be vulnerable, bracing for the moment you arrives and threatens the fortress of his cynicism.
