It didn't take long to clean the kitchen. Foreman had only used the minimum dishes, and after a quick rinse, he stacked them in the dishwasher and turned it on. His beer was still out in the living room, so Foreman headed back out. House hadn't answered him, but Foreman wasn't going to put himself out further by asking again.
House had turned sideways on the couch, his legs up, but there was just enough room for Foreman to sit on the end of the couch without having to deal much with House's feet; they rested just against his thigh, and if House didn't like that, he could move them. Foreman grabbed his beer and took a drink. House's restless channel-flipping didn't interest him, and he picked up the latest Forbes that had been sitting on the end table beside him. It was getting late, and he felt comfortable, and full. He'd read through far louder distractions than the television before, so it was no problem to ignore House completely. Soon enough he'd head for bed, leave House to go through every channel Foreman got all night if he wanted to. At some point, House would probably kick Foreman awake when he climbed into bed too. All that would mean was that Foreman would get his answer about tomorrow; he'd know that House wasn't leaving.
