The Gaze

Didn't mean to startle you. Thought I was alone.

it's a good thing I didn't get too comfortable.

Sorry.

I'm joking, of course.

I admire your dedication,

but you really ought to be careful not to wear yourself out.

Not that I ever took my own advice.

In that case, neither will I.

I, I don't mean that. Of course I would take your advice.

Join me for some green tea?

I probably shouldn't.

Come on.

No one's curing cancer

without the help of a little caffeine.

Okay.

Anyway, I remember coming to sort of,

but I don't remember having lost consciousness,

and then, all day I've just been like hung over.

You sure you weren't having

one of your episodes like fourth year.

I haven't told you the whole story.

God, this is so messed up.

I shouldn't be embarrassed, right?

What happened?

Dr. Booker was inappropriate.

That's a pretty serious accusation

if you're saying what I think you're saying.

You think it hasn't crossed my mind

what it means to say that I was sexually harassed

by someone who is likely to win the Nobel Prize?

Well, were you?

Is it possible that you're reading too much into it?

Are, are you serious?

All I'm saying is he's gotta be so used

to having girls throw themselves at him.

Not that that excuses his behavior.

It also happened right before you had

one of your stress-related incidents.

Wow. This is how it happens.

Stop. I do believe you.

But what exactly happened?

I don't, I don't feel like talking about it anymore.

Well, if it happened, you should.

If.

Jesus. I'm trying.

You know what, let's just drop it for now and go tonight.

I need a distraction.

Hey!

Happy housewarming! Brought you a plant to kill.

Thanks for the compliments and the plant.

Come on in. - Good to see you.

How you doing?

Hey. - Hi, how are you?

Good. - Great.

Come have a drink.

Thank you.

I think young Lucas has a crush on you.

I am so not in the right place for that.

What do you mean? He's cute.

Okay, okay, what's your guilty pleasure?

I don't know.

I don't have one. - Come on, come on,

everybody has one.

Okay. I guess, um, "House."

"House"? I, I love "House."

You do? - Yeah.

Wait, but that's not even embarrassing.

Everybody loves "House." It's so good.

So good.

Yeah.
