    Summary

    Jack and Robby share a look. "Dennis," Robby starts. "We've been talking this morning and - you're welcome to stay as long as you like."

    Dennis blinks. "That's - that's really kind of you, but I shouldn't impose. I can be out of here by the end of the week."

    "Do you actually have anywhere to go?" Jack asks, more sharply than he intended.

    Dennis hesitates, then shakes his head, eyes fixed on the table. "No, sir."

    Jack's face softens. "Listen, kid, I'm not a Corporal anymore - you can just call me Jack off-shift, alright?" Jack waits until Dennis nods to continue. "As for staying here, you're not imposing, okay. Robby and I are offering."

    Dennis sucks in a breath. "I don't - I don't understand why, though."

    "Why?" Robby repeats. "Because you're in a tough spot, and we can help."

    ***

    Or, Dennis comes to Pittsburgh homeless and disowned by his family. Little by little, he finds a place he can call home again.

    Summary

    Dennis thought it might just be one last pep talk, a little reassurance before Robby disappears off the face of the earth for the next three months. Instead, Robby said, and now repeats, “I need you to keep an eye on Dr. Abbot for me.”

    Dennis points a finger at his chest, eyes doubling in size. “Me? You want me to… why?”

    Or...

    After the Fourth of July shift from hell, Robby assigns Dennis one last task before leaving on sabbatical: keep an eye on Jack Abbot. What starts as a favour to Robby very quickly develops into an unlikely friendship between the night shift attending and PTMC's newest intern. But what happens when the pair both start catching feelings? Is Jack ready to move on from his late wife? Is Dennis prepared for what all a relationship with Jack would entail?

    Well, they have three months to figure it out.
