    Summary

    [Dennis] doesn’t think. Doesn’t plan it. Just reaches out, hand landing on Robby’s arm, thumb pressed into the crook of his elbow. Light, deliberate, a mirror of every touch he’s been given all day.
    Robby goes still. Completely still.

    After three weeks of being palmed by Robby, Whitaker decides to return the favor.
    Robby promptly has a crisis.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what I want to do.” Dennis admits. He looks over at Robby, staring at the side of his face. They’ve been closer than this before, but being in the car together feels strangely intimate. “What would you do?”

    “If it was me… I’d at least go for that dinner. But I’m not you. You need to do what’s best for you, Dennis.” 

    There it is again, his name from Robby’s mouth. It makes his attention linger, still staring at Robby’s face. Dennis is once again overwhelmed with the urge to just bury his face in Robby’s neck and pretend the world doesn’t exist, but that’s not the grown up thing to do. He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, rubs his temples with his fingertips as Robby continues, “Carry your patients with you as much or as little as you like. Find your balance. But remember that you’re human.”

    Dennis opens his eyes to the countryside fading away and the city bleeding in. He knows Robby is right. That’s what he needs: balance. 

    In his last year of med school, Dennis learns to let go of the guilt that plagues him.

    Whitaker quits smoking, gets a shiner by the ambulance bay, and falls in love with his attending. Not exactly in that order.

    Summary

    The problem wasn't that Robby touches Whitaker. The problem was that Dennis started touching him back.

    Summary

    When Robby leaves for his three‑month sabbatical, he doesn’t expect anyone to set foot in his empty house — least of all Dennis Whitaker. What begins as one secret night of shelter quickly turns into weeks of quiet routine, daily texts, and growing feelings… all while Robby watches over him through the house security cameras Dennis doesn’t know exist.
