"That's the best you've got? Wishful thinking? Too bad it's true. Or at least it has been lately," he said, refusing to think about Marty and L.A. and whatever the hell was waiting for Foreman there, if he chose to take it. "Well, not too bad for me--" House stopped himself, about to let on that Foreman was actually better to have around than he even originally thought. He'd admitted to Foreman, right before he'd left, that he'd wanted him to stay, only to have it shoved back in his face. The old team was disbanded now, sure, but Foreman was still as helpful in differentials as he'd always been. He was helpful, challenging, helped him think. But he didn't need to actually tell Foreman that and stroke his ego. "And not too bad for you either, since I'm betting that you've gotten laid more in the past couple weeks than you have, well, since you've been here anyway. Unless Chase wasn't the only one Cameron was banging in the closet."
The elevator stopped and opened, depositing them at Foreman's floor, and House stepped into the hallway. His own remark made him grin, and he let his musings tumble out of his mouth. "What is it with you three and closets? Though, I have to admit, your case was way funnier. Irony like that wins every time." Now that the incident was past them, House let himself feel smug about it, that he'd actually gotten Foreman to hide in his damn closet in the first place. That Foreman had stayed in it at all. Even easier to be smug when he and Foreman had already planned an excuse to cover it all.
