"So, are bạn going to Michigan for the holidays?" House asked as he lit her fireplace.
"Maybe for New Years but I have too many proposals to work on during Christmas. Why do bạn ask?"
They were still in that weird non-couple couple point in their relationship. They were spending alot of time together at her place and his, but neither had đã đưa ý kiến "I tình yêu You," hoặc described the other as a girlfriend hoặc boyfriend yet. Cuddy wanted him to ask her to spend giáng sinh with him but she wasn't going to drop any hints. She wanted him to decide this all on his own.
"I just wondered if I would have a week free of your stockings drying on my vòi hoa sen curtain."
"I'm so sure. Do bạn want some egg nog? I added some of that rum bạn like."
"I'll take a mug of that...So, you're spending giáng sinh here then?"
He got up and joined her on the sofa. She pulled a blanket over them and handed him his drink.
"Yeah, giáng sinh in Princeton."
"I have a tradition of ordering Chinese take out from Wong's and watching Ground Hog's ngày on giáng sinh Day. Wilson usually comes over and we drink a couple of beers...He's going to visit his family in Maine this year. Do bạn want to partake in cheap bia and greasy Chinese?"
Cuddy smiled warmly at him and instead of answering, she kissed him lightly on the mouth.
"So, that's a yes?" he đã đưa ý kiến with a grin.
"Yes. It's sounds fun. But Ground Hog's ngày isn't a giáng sinh film, House?"
"I know but it's still festive and Bill Murray's in it so what thêm can bạn ask for?"
Cuddy shook her head as she smiled. Noticing a stray eyelash on his cheek she brushed it off softly. House leaned into her touch.
"I know it's customary to give presents on giáng sinh ngày but when have I done the customary thing?" he đã đưa ý kiến as he pulled out a manila folder with a red bow wrapped around it, that was hidden in his jacket.
"A present? I'm surprised."
"Just open it."
Cuddy pulled off the bow and opened the file to find an x-ray of what appeared to be a heart.
"You give me a chest x-ray? This is...nice."
"Jeez, Cuddy. Look at the name on the file."
It read: Patient- House,Gregory
"It's your tim, trái tim x-ray. It's your heart...You're giving me your heart," she đã đưa ý kiến pulling the file close to her chest as if it was the most precious possession she ever held.
"It's sappy isn't it."
"Yeah, but sometimes sappy's good," she đã đưa ý kiến as she leaned closer to him.
"So, bạn like it then?" he asked looking down at his hands.
"I do." she đã đưa ý kiến putting a hand on his cheek forcing him to look at her. His eyes were so full of hope and fear.
"House?"
"Yeah?"
"I tình yêu bạn too."
House let out a sigh of relief and pulled her face to meet his in a joyful kiss.
