Cameron's heart thudded harder when he said he could hear it. It was odd. She could hear it, but knowing he could too? Even worse. What else could he hear, ot know, or see. She didn't usually let these emotions run away with her. Not when she was trying to be as professional as she could be. But he had a way of making her get on edge. After a few breaths her heart started to rest again.
"All I can tell you is that I haven't let very many patients get to me, and most of the patients I've dealt with besides obviously uncurable things such as Cancer, have survived. Sure, everyone lets in a few that pass on but I've never allowed it to get in the way of my work. I understand why you need to know that. House needed to know it too. But he kept me on his team for a long time as well. I understand." Cameron leaned back in the chair finally. It felt like she'd been running instead of sitting most of this meeting.
She couldn't stop being afraid, not yet, but she could relax a little now that he'd assured her she had nothing to worry about.
Everybody lies.
She would have cursed House and his mantra right now if she didn't miss him. She did miss him. If he were there he would have called her fear silly and unfounded. He would have set her straight easily. Because she trusted him. He'd never really wanted to harm harm her. Not physically. Emotionally maybe..
Cameron just nodded. "Well, now you can observe my cases, and we can work together on them." She just hoped he didn't enjoy breaking into houses like House did. She didn't want to come back to her apartment to find him in there fussing over her choice of music. Or appearing at her door at all like House could.
She suddenly wished she had friends to go to outside of the hospital. She really needed to get out more.
