There's only one place he likes in this gilded tower, because you can see for miles. He would like the penthouse. It's gorgeous, open, everything he could want, but he's only now getting over it, that it was House's place, his room, and he wouldn't take her there if they weren't talking about Neil, because that bar was him and Neil's spot in his mind, the first place they touched.

So he takes her to the penthouse, to Robert House's perfectly made home. The windows aren't as open as the bar, but if you go up to them, where computers and furniture isn't in the way, you can still see for miles, and the view is so fucking worth it, and he knows she will love it. The elevator dings at the spot, and he lets her down again. "...He was old," Alex says quietly. "Died in his sleep. Neil wasn't there for it."
