Summary
The sun is sweltering, it’s sharp rays thoroughly burning Dennis’ skin. He’s starting to feel sticky and smell sour. He must keep working. It’s the hottest day of the year, he knows this full well. He also knows that continuing this heavy labour in these conditions will give him heatstroke. But he must keep working.
Whitakers never stop working.
Dennis has always been a bit of a black sheep in Broken Bow, he is a lot paler and smaller than the rest of his family. He’s the runt of the litter really. He burns easy, his faith in God seems fickle, he never seems to build muscle no matter how hard he works. Unknown to the residents, he doesn’t want this life. He yearns for the opportunity to be a doctor and save lives. But what can he really do to change that.
Thus, he must keep working.
OR
Dennis is kicked out at 16 for his sins. His guilt is all consuning, controlling his life. He has nowhere to go, no purpose.

Summary
“Come here, kid.” One of Robby’s hands catches Dennis’s and lands against his sternum, trapping his arm against his chest, while the other stays in his hair, fingers winding into damp curls. Dennis’s attention is everywhere and panicked. He catches a flash of Perlah readying the needle and a desperate sound punches out of him.
“Nope, don’t look at that,” Robby says, using the hand in his hair to force his head back, angling his vision away from the commotion and up towards him. Dennis’s eyes lock onto his, pupils blown wide. “Look at me. Yep, good. I’m right here. You’re doing so good, honey. Just keep those eyes on me.”
The IV tourniquet snaps into place and panic flashes anew in Dennis’s face. ”Robby—”
“I know. It’s just Dana and Perlah. We’re just pushing some fluids, no more drugs. You’re safe.” Out of the corner of his eye, Robby can see Perlah speeding through what has to be the fastest IV placement of her career, Dana keeping her grip on Dennis’s hand to stop him from jerking away. Dana shoots him a glance of warning and Robby tightens his hold. “Okay, quick poke now. Still just us. Deep breath, Dennis. I've got you."
***
Dennis gets drugged by a patient and has a bad trip.

Summary
Jack Abbot is beyond exhausted when he finds a med student crying in the hallway. So far past dealing with the crying that he tries to convince the med student to a marriage of convenience just to stop the tears. The longer he thinks on it though, the more he realizes that marrying the little mouse, Dennis Whitaker, might actually make sense.
Robby is convinced Jack is having a mid life crisis. Or a nervous breakdown. Or petty revenge for his disappointment in Robby sleeping with Collins. Regardless, he doesn’t know how to help the med student Jack is marrying.
Dennis can’t keep doing this. He’s homeless, broke, and about to have to drop out of med school when he’s so close to finishing. If an ER attending is going to offer a guest room to crash in and covering the expenses of med school, he might just go ahead and marry him. He can always figure things out later, right?
