Hello my sweet flist! Long time no write! I'm pushing myself to get on the horse. I had a few things squandering and thought I might post. We wants to get back to the longer fics again, we do! More to come this evening, I think. I just picked a character and ran with it. I was sorting through a bunch of pretty Cuddy icons this weekend so there you have Cuddy. :) Not a drabble. Set end of S1 of House.
Silk
Cuddy turned the wisp of a scarf over in her hands, twirling them around and around childishly until the scarf was looped loosely around her hands.
$49.99 and she was bunching and wrinkling it up like a nervous schoolgirl.
It was just a job offer. Not like it was the end of the world if it didn’t work out.
She hoped Stacy would take it. Five years and Lisa was still antsy about seeing her in the hospital again. Funny, she thought, if House knew...
He would flip out. Good thing Cuddy was pulling the party line of ‘if you can’t work with her...’ Nobody needed to ask about Cuddy’s ethics. Why wouldn’t she be able to work with Stacy?
Just because she’d be thinking about the time she held Stacy crying in the doctor’s lounge while they sent House into surgery, or the nights after that Stacy had spent on her couch, and the nights after that in her bed.
No, the work problems would be all about House and Stacy. Lisa didn’t need to worry about a thing. Tucking hopes of a nice expensive welcome back dinner at Pietro’s into the back of her mind, she looped the scarf around her neck and grabbed her purse.
Of course Stacy would take the offer. If there was one thing Stacy was smart about it, it was anything not involving House. And this very much did not involve House.
