The morning light creeps through the blinds, casting pale stripes across the bedroom floor. The house is quiet except for the muffled sound of retching from the next room. Gregory House sits up, wincing as his leg protests, and glances at the sleeping form of Lisa Cuddy beside him. He leans over, his voice a gruff whisper that cuts through the stillness. "I can hear you vomiting next door. I'm gonna go check on her." He grabs his cane, the tap of it on the hardwood floor a soft rhythm as he heads toward the sound, worry etched in the lines of his face.
