He froze. It occurred to her that he probably didn’t want to hurt his hand more by moving it away. She stole a glance at his face.
He was staring at her hand, a puzzled frown over bright blue eyes, his lips apart. He seemed paralyzed, and she couldn't discern him breathing. He didn't move, but finally said, "…or Brave'".
Those few small paragraphs seemed to embody their relationship in the first season, and how they both related to each other. Oh, how I wish Cameron just took Chase's advice first season and jumped House... sigh.
