She’s like a puzzle that I can’t figure out. Complete one minute, missing several compulsory pieces the next. But when I think I’ve found a missing piece, she hides it again. Takes it away. Almost as if challenging me to continue my search. But I don’t know where to look. Nor do I really know if I want to.
And, I reflect, it’s possible that she’s just as confused about it as I am. Not that I will ever admit it.

He’s like a little boy, playing hide and seek. Hiding one minute, seeking out solace the next. But once I’ve found him, he pulls back. Takes it away. Almost as if challenging me to find him again. But I don’t know where to look. Nor do I really know if I can.
And, I reflect, it’s possible that he’s just as confused about it as I am. Not that he will ever admit it.

Despite his blunt dismissal of her during their first date, she remained oddly attracted to him. House was a brilliant diagnostician – but only when it involved the human body. His reading of her interest had been completely wrong, but she wasn’t sure that he’d ever give her the chance to prove that to him.

He wanted her to give up on him, but he never thought how much it would hurt to actually hear her say the words. That couldn’t be a good sign. He cared. He wanted her to like him. This was dangerous. You let people in, and they betray you.

A lot of things about her had surprised him over the past months. As successful as he’d been at keeping his feelings at bay, it was becoming harder and harder to do. All of her characteristics that he’d so quickly zeroed in on and used as excuses to keep his distance were slowly disappearing, and he was finding it difficult to come up with more.

It would be statistically impossible for a woman of her age, with her looks, intelligence and…niceness…to not have had the opportunity to be with at least a dozen younger, and undamaged guys in the time since he’d known her. Yet here she was; why? He'd have given up on himself a long time ago. A part of him already had.

House had called Cameron weak more than once in their dealings with patients but he said it mainly to garner a reaction. He knew her well enough to know that under her gentle exterior lay a strong woman. She was capable of so much more than he would ever admit out loud.
Designated - Jesmel

He is scared of you, your sensitivity, your age, that you work for him, that you’ll leave him, that you’ll hurt him. He has a catalog of hurts written across his flesh that he slowly starts to display to you. You are scared that he’ll never let you in, that you’ll never get close enough, that he’ll never trust you, that you’ll lose him, because you’re tired of losing people. And even worse, that you are falling in love.

Allison Cameron crashed your world covering your mind and soul in her enchanting pixie dust. (You do not tell her this). You did not expect this (ever). Especially from such a small, soft creature against your thick and callused nature. You never ever expected such a piercing. This is stronger than before. It scares you. Often you try to run from it, hide from it or hurt it (do anything but hurt from it). And you know it’s not her fault. You hate yourself for what you do.
You watch her from your glass surroundings, her slim shoulders straight and strong from your latest barbs. You refuse to be soft on her, you are often harder, you test her, you try to weaken her before she weakens you (more).

She’s not working for you long, when you really instigate the flirting. She, of course, calls you out on everything. And you lie, lie, lie. You have no feelings. You don’t like her. You stomp all over her emotional being.
When she quits, she breaks you. You never thought you could break again this easily. You were stunned by her absence and realize that you need her to be around. You keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself, but Wilson is constantly challenging you about your life and how you live it and how you feel. You hate him for putting ideas in you head - especially ones that you have been trying to forget and evade. He calls you out when he realizes Cameron has gotten to you.
