"They weren't," Chase said with the agreeability of one who'd put the worst behind him. "That's why I said 'not bad' instead of 'peachy.'" Foreman's sudden embarrassment, rapidly averting his gaze as if he were seeing something he didn't want anyone else to witness, was interesting. Disturbing, too. Chase really didn't want to know where Foreman's mind had gone at the reminder of he and Cameron caught in the closet.

Chase fell in step with Foreman, their pace matching automatically. Years of going through the hallways together-- sometimes running and yelling, other times drudging down after a night of running labs-- had attuned them to each other's rhythms. "You were there, you saw us. We fought plenty." Cameron, being Cameron, was vehement about her opinions, infusing every medical decision with her feelings. So when they’d fought about cases, it got personal, fast. Chase pushed through a set of double-doors. "But it didn't keep us from getting together.” Cameron actually got turned on by arguments, so even when they’d disagreed over a patient, it hadn’t affected their sex life. And technically they’d been only fuck buddies, when they’d been working for House.

Things weren't adding up, though. Foreman was wound up like a toy airplane, and if he was asking about Chase about the history of his love-life with an ex-coworker, Chase could only assume it was because of that girl. Yesterday the gossip claimed that she'd slept with him once and dumped him before Foreman came back to the hospital; why would arguing cases be a problem? "Don't tell me you're this worked up over a medical opinion. You don't even have a case right now."
