I love you.

You are brilliant! I love your style. I love the way you completely capture Cuddy's loneliness and her feelings towards House. I love everything about this series. I'm slightly sad to see this end, but it couldn't have been any better! The way House kept asking if she was ready and the way Cuddy kept reassuring him... beautiful.

Half a second later, she loved him more for walking away.

They’d known each other long enough for her to know every reason that it was a bad idea, predestined to end badly. Yet she knew, too, every reason it could work. The late night of pizza and beer and a snowball fight when he was supposed to be helping her write up organic lab results. That one night of drunken, amazing sex the night before her graduation. The way he knew just what to say to make her laugh, even when she didn’t want to. The way he watched her when she wasn’t watching him. The way he’d walked away.

This part just made me melt inside. It's just so... beautiful. I think beautiful is my favorite word to describe this. :P It's just amazing how you can make these two characters go through so much in five chapters and have it feel complete. *sighs happily*

Ack! Sorry, I'm rambling now. I can't help it. Not when it's this good. Thank you for writing this. This was definitely a nice break from reading a Bio textbook. :P

Yet another excellent, excellent fic. You never cease to amaze me.

Thank you so much! No one would turn down "beautiful" as a compliment on anything!

Now go catch up on your bio so you can be the next House ;)
