Summary
Dennis became a doctor to help people, it was who he was. He expected exhaustion, difficult patients, and teasing from peers, but not the quiet pull toward his grieving senior, Dr. Robby. When a panic attack breaks Robby’s carefully kept distance, Dennis steps in without hesitation. But in the days that follow, what began as compassion starts to feel like something deepee, something Dennis never expected to find in the halls of The Pitt.

Summary
On a porch, in the dark, somewhere in Broken Bow, Nebraska, on a random autumn Saturday, Robby brings his cigarette to Dennis' lips, as if it is the easiest thing in the world. But there is so much more to this one act of kindness, in the way his fingers brush against Dennis' lips, the way Dennis looks up at him through his lashes, eyes wide on his parents' porch. Dennis fears he might lose the family that raised him, but he isn't as scared, if it means he might gain a new one.
After Dennis' parents find out that he is trans and has been transitioning ever since leaving for medical school, Dr. Robby offers to drive him home to his parents, to do damage control.
