    Summary

    The mom didn’t back off.

    “Come on,” she nudged, “tell me you’re not single. A man like you shouldn’t be.”

    “Well…” Robby said, exhaling softly, “actually, you see that blonde nurse outside? That’s my girlfriend.”

    Jack froze.

    Ms. Campbell seemed as caught off guard as Jack himself, the smile on her face faltering as the words sank in.

    It made sense. Of course it made sense.

    Robby and Dana.

    Or, Robby and Dana use each other as pretend significant others whenever a patient doesn’t take no for an answer. Jack, being new, has no idea about the arrangement.

    Summary

    Robby gets some therapy homework. It’s a lot harder to get through it than he would’ve thought, but he gets there in the end—and, perhaps not surprisingly, Jack Abbot ends up being the answer.

    Summary

    Lifting himself just enough to be heard, Robby shook his head. “It’s not like that, Jack. No evidence needed.”

    “It sure as hell looks like it’s like that,” Jack said, his anger bleeding through despite his best effort to keep himself in check.

    Robby looked directly at Jack for the first time since Jack had arrived. His eyes held a mix of shame and pain, and Jack was furious at the thought that somehow Robby thought he had to excuse the person who’d done this to him. But before Jack could say as much, Robby rocked him to his core by saying, “I asked for this.”

    Summary

    Jack isn’t the only one staring. In the aftermath of Whitaker’s offer, Robby seems momentarily shell-shocked, and Dana whispers, “Oh, my God,” softly behind her computer.

    A nauseating surge of emotion rushes through Jack’s system. He feels— stupid, like he should run over there and take Robby by the shoulders and lick him in front of everyone. All he wants is for people to know Robby is his.

    Looking towards Robby, feeling that panging throb of mine, mine, mine, he has to actually stop himself from hurtling the desk and biting him and marking his territory, and what the actual hell is that all about?

    or: five times jack was jealous over robby, and one time he learned that he didn’t need to be.

    Summary

    "Tell me something that brings you comfort."

    "Something that brings me comfort?" Robby shot back, his tone mocking the frivolity of it, because he never was one to just follow directions.

    "Yes," Gene said, eternally unfazed. "It can be the smallest thing, whatever comes to mind."

    What came to mind was: Pens games, the trails at Frick Park, the rare book collection in the Oliver Room at Carnegie Main, a cortado at Sage Caffe. But what he said was: "Jack."

    ...wait. Shit.
