I heard that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
I'm walking towards the light

~ The River (Good Charlotte)

He knows people.

They lie. They deceive. They spin falsehoods for their own benefit.

Everybody lies.

It's a fact of nature, a way of survival.

He expects no less.

He is therefore unprepared for the rush of emotion, of misery and betrayal that hits him when he finds out that Cuddy is getting a baby.

She didn't directly lie to him per say but in not telling him what she was doing it was essentially the same thing. She had left him out of the loop. She hadn't included him. He'd had to find out through Wilson - who'd initially helped her to hold this illusion over him before letting him in.

Lies. Essentially, that's what they were.

He finds himself staring at his reflection in the glass window before him, wondering just how much of his existence is built on lies.
