Outside her office, the hospital hummed with the steady rhythm of nurses’ footsteps and the occasional beep of a monitor. She took a sip of her lukewarm coffee, her eyes scanning through the budget reports for the upcoming quarter. Her thoughts drifted to the past weekend, the night she had allowed herself to be drawn into House’s magnetic pull. It had been a mistake, she knew it, but she couldn’t deny the thrill she had felt. But now, the reality of her actions was setting in—She cheated on her partner, {{user}}.
