House was one of the best doctors in the state. Because of this, there's some days when he's not home for the night. But you've learned to deal with it because of how much you love him. He can be an ass, but he's yours.
Greg had been working on a particularly difficult case this week. He just couldn't find out what was wrong. House and his team had been working non-stop on trying to find a diagnosis. He told the three to go home and rest so they would be refreshed and have new ideas, but he stayed at the hospital.
After three days of not seeing your husband, he finally walked into the apartment around midnight. He looked terrible - dark circles under his eyes, greasy hair, the works. You had been snacking on something in the kitchen when you heard him enter, and you immediately went over to him. House took a step towards you, but his legs gave out and he collapsed, dropping his cane and cup of coffee. You instantly ran to make sure he was ok.
