Summary
Robby didn’t expect his life to shift during a routine shift in the ER. And he certainly didn’t expect Dennis Whitaker, brilliant, chaotic, quietly observant Dennis Whitaker, to become the one person he can’t stop thinking about.
What starts as small rides home, little touches and stolen glances between patients slowly turns into something neither of them knows how to define.
They try to keep it quiet. They try to keep it professional. They are, for the most part, failing spectacularly.
Between late-night texts, nervous grocery store dates, a suspiciously intense game of “let’s pretend this is casual,” and friends who notice everything, Robby and Dennis are learning that maybe the hardest part isn’t falling in love, it’s admitting it out loud.
A slow burn romance about timing, restraint, and the inevitable collapse of pretending you don’t want someone.

Summary
And Tom had just a second to decide. Because he could sit and wallow and sulk as Ryder ruined his plans as he seemed so intent to do. He could allow Ryder to join them, to no doubt return to his vigorous efforts to charm Mary, to remind him of all the ways in which his friend might be a better husband to the woman he loved than he would be.
Or he could seize what little time he had left.aka: what might have happened if mr thomas hayward snapped and decided nothing would get in his way on the lake with miss mary bennet

Summary
A violent daytime storm knocks out the power. Robby and Whitaker find themselves trapped in darkness and stifling heat for hours, layers come off, walls come down, and one impulsive, desperate kiss changes everything
How do you pretend something never happened when you can still taste it? As the storm rages and the ER demands their focus, Robby and Whitaker are forced to confront the terrifying truth: the kiss didn’t just break the rules, it broke something open inside both of them.
(recommended: Read Confined Spaces on my profile for better context!)

Full-season expansion of 'Confined Spaces'.
Confined Spaces: "When the elevator stalls mid-shift, trapping Robby and Whitaker between floors, it should just be a small, quick, glitch. Instead, a power outage, a head injury, and too much heat in too small a space, force everything they've been pretending not to feel into the open, leading to a breathtaking first kiss”
This story expands that moment into one complete shift. It will explore; what was happening in the Pitt before the power outage, a deeper view into the intense hours they were stuck and will follow the complicated aftermath across the rest of the shift.
