It's noon before he makes it to the clinic.

His last day.

He's sitting at the desk, with a cup of coffee and Johnny Cash on the radio. He'd brought Cash in from town, and the pup in on the floor chewing on a rawhide bone.

Dr is in. Come say goodbye. He's on slowtime unil this evening

Phoebe relaxed a little bit and then hugged him.

"Good, I couldn't stand that, Besides," she grinned. "There are only two doctors I trust to do right for me when I can't do it myself and they're both leaving. So, I hope you accept drop-in house calls."

"Antime." House smiled. "I'm actually thinking I might give up medicine, so a house call now and then just might be welcome. I imagine medicine is a lot like riding a bike. You never quite forget how to d it, and there's always that desire to try it again, in the back of your head."

Phoebe smiled back. "We never change parts of who we are. And in my eyes? You'll always be one of the best doctors...friends...a girl could have."

"Well, thank you." House stood and embraced her in a friendly hug. Tears misted his eyes, but he didn't cry. He'd done enough of that the night before with Geoff.

Phoebe hugged him back. "You keep in touch...and you call if you ever need anything, okay?"

"I will. Take care, Pheobe. And it goes both ways. If you need anything...You know."

"Keeping the same e-mail?"

"If it changes I'll be sure to let you know."

"Thank you, Dr. House. I would really appreciate staying in contact. You're a good man and a good friend."
