"Don't take these as a sign that I don't hate you, but... Happy birthday, House." "Oh, my g--these are right behind the dugout! I-- gosh. Thanks, Jimmy." "Um. My name is Lisa." "Well, you've just earned yourself a membership in the secret friendship club, where everyone's a Jimmy."
Okay, sorry. It's just that that part of your story had me on the floor :-) Most of the rest of it had me with tissues, though. Wonderful, as usual. Loved your choice of POVs to show us how other characters percieved the House-Wilson relationship, and House and each other's reactions. It's ironic that of the two of them, Wilson is the one who doesn't feel like he's living up to himself; to the outsider, it would seem the other way around. House's restrained anger was very well-written. In short, am looking forward to your next :-)
