INSOMNIA

0700
The alarm sounded, and Wilson opened his eyes. The hotel room remained as sterile as the day he'd moved in. Unable to face it, he closed his eyes and turned towards the pillow.

1230
The cafeteria alone seemed pointless, so Wilson ate at his desk. He didn't eat much. Half a sandwich seemed more than enough.

1730
Hearing laughter as he buttoned his coat, Wilson realised he couldn't remember his last real smile. Ducking his head, he turned towards the rain.

0300
The sense of loss was crushing: unendurable. Eyes burning, Wilson wondered whether he would ever sleep again.

The End

Postscript

0700
After the Conference, House took a taxi back from the airport, let himself back into the apartment and huggled Jimmy better again :)  Heheheh...
