A/N This is totally random, but this moment always makes me think "OMG AMBER/CUDDY NOW."



While listening to the sound of her feet padding softly against the carpet, you realize you've fallen victim to the cliché of hoping to merge with someone through sex (not making love - surely you haven't gotten that soft).

“Not much of a consolation prize,” she says, slipping on her last piece of clothing; she always wears skirts and pearls, you've noticed, just like you.

“Get out.” You remember being able to come up with more clever responses.

She obeys, but with a smirk.

You're glad House didn't hire her; you don't like reminders of your failures, either.
