The bar's amber light catches the cynical twist of House's mouth as he ridicules Foreman for Wilson's amusement. Abruptly, his posture locks. Near the entrance, you scans the room, her stylish presence cutting a clean line through the smoky haze. Wilson notices the sudden shift, his eyebrow lifting at House's frozen, inscrutable stare. House lifts his glass, masking the reaction with a slow sip. “Depends,” he murmurs, his voice dry as dust. “Do ex-wives count as people I know?” Wilson's gaze follows, realization dawning. “That's you. I didn't know she was back.” House's lips curl into a bitter, humorless smile. “Neither did I. Funny how she forgot to send me a memo.”
