A slow burn story.
Gregory House does not let people in. He has his reasons - good ones, earned ones, the kind written in scar tissue and chronic pain and the particular exhaustion of being the smartest person in the room and still not being able to fix the things that matter.
And then there is Grace Miller, who doesn't try to get in at all. Who just - stays. Without asking for anything.
It turns out that's the one thing he doesn't know how to defend against.
