Summary
And hell, if Robby was going to get all up in Jack's business, he could return the favor. "Why didn't you tell me you were on shift today?"
Jack actually felt Robby tense against him. "I told you I was leaving today."
Which didn't actually answer his question. "As the priests liked to remind me, a lie by omission is still a sin," he drawled.

Summary
The idea of bossing you around is almost tempting enough to lure me from the beach.
The email was from Brian Price, who'd done his residency at PTMC before covid, then sailed straight into a cushy gig at Cedars thanks to family connections and Adamson's recommendation. Robby had quietly hated him, happy to see him go.
Brian's email included a forwarded job listing, seeking a temporary Chief of Emergency Medicine for PTMC, to start July 4th, Robby's last day before his sabbatical. Jack had been expecting Gloria to ask him to step up.
He'd heard nothing from her. And now this, as good as announcing the news: they were bringing in an external hire.

Summary
Dana shot him a meaningful look. "She up and says to me that Robby can't stand to be alone, has got the TV on in his bedroom all night."
Jack scoffed. "No, he doesn't."
Dana stilled, her blue eyes locking onto his. And just like that, it went from an idle comment to a moment. A moment that expanded, curling into something weighty, settling leaden in Jack's gut. "That right?" she muttered, and there was a whole epic journey packed into those two words, going from how would you know all the way to how did I not know.
Fuck.

Summary
Jack flashed a grin, but didn't let himself get distracted. "Fun message I got today. It seems that someone rode his midlife crisis to work while conspicuously not wearing a helmet."
Underneath his hand, Robby stilled, his heart beating faster than normal. "What?" he asked, but that was a stall, Robby playing for time to decide on his approach. Which was cute, really, but Jack knew all his tricks.
So he just nodded, mocking. "Yeah. See the thing is, when you do shit, I hear about it."

Summary
Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"
"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.
Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.
And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

Summary
It wasn’t an attractive trait in most people, but it amused the hell out of Jack that Robby could be so jealous, so petty, so territorial.

Summary
The road unspools in front of them as a strip of old film- washed out, grainy, flickering in places. Petrol stations with broken lights. Chain-link fences blooming with kudzu and barking dogs in their kennels for the night. The occasional pair of eyes flashing in the underbrush. Ain’t nothing between here and the turn of the road but hell-deep potholes and humidity thick enough to chew.
“You hungry?” Raylan asks after a long mile of nothing but engine noise and cricketsong. It’s a casual kind of question, stretched lazy across the dash, but he feels it lands heavier than it ought to.
Tim doesn’t answer right away. He’s staring out the window, cheek pressed to the glass like he’s trying to cool off something beneath the skin. Finally shrugs, eyes still fixed on the blur of trees.
“Could eat,” he says.

Summary
They aren’t his family, not in the traditional sense. But the idea that they might be, that they could be, unsettles him more than he wants to admit. It’s the same quiet dread that hit him when Collins said he had helped raise Amy. He doesn’t know why exactly. Maybe because imagining them as a family implies imagining him and Jack as something. And that’s just absurd, right?
Or: Robby has been a quiet constant in the lives of Abbot and his daughter, filling a space that was never clearly named. As they drift into their fifties, he begins to recognize that his feelings for Jack may have deepened into something real and perhaps impossible. Now he’s left wondering if this almost-family could ever truly be his.
