    Summary

    “Where’d you get that from?” Santos asks.

    “The food? It’s from Doctor Robby,” Dennis says without thinking. “Oh, wait. I meant- the food’s from Chau’s. We- I got it on the walk home.”

    Her eyes narrow.

    “Was there a team dinner or something?”

    “No,” Dennis mumbles. “It was just us.”

    Robby and Whitaker fall into the habit of walking home together after work.

    Summary

    The first couple of dollars that the machine ate up without remorse were an annoyance, something that made Dennis sigh and unzip his wallet without thinking about it to try again. By the time that the vending machine had eaten seven whole dollars, in coins, and Dennis didn’t have anything to show for it, he was close to thumping his forehead against the cool glass and hoping he could derive some sort of enjoyment or nourishment from simply just looking at the colourful packages as they remained firmly in their coils.

    ~

    5 times + 1 that Robby buys something for Dennis and makes him feel like he's about to keel over, right there and then.

    Summary

    The elevator lurches once, then stalls. The emergency light flickers weakly, casting Robby and Whitaker in a dim, red glow before plunging them into near-total darkness. The only sound is their breathing—Whitaker’s still too fast, Robby’s measured, deliberate.
    "You knew this might happen?" Whitaker asks.
    "Yeah," Robby says. "Big storms like this fuck with the hospital's generators. We were lucky we got this far."
    "Lucky," Whitaker echoes, the word coming out too soft.

    Robby and Whitaker get stuck in an elevator during a storm, and three weeks of tension catches up to them.

    Summary

    "There has to be something you want to come back for. Something you can’t die without doing.”

    Robby’s gaze roamed across Dennis's face, tracing the planes and sharp angles of his features like he was trying to commit them to memory. He already had a long time ago. The horrible, aching knot in his chest dedicated to Dennis was a piece of Robby that he tried, time and time again, to rip out. Always to no avail.

    If he had anything to come back for, it’d be this one thing.

    "Marry me," Robby said.

    Robby, about to head out for his sabbatical and never return, thinks to hell with it—nothing matters except for the very real, very inappropriate feelings he's been harboring for his first-year resident. So he proposes. And before he can take it back, Whitaker says yes.
