Summary
“I don’t know what I want to do.” Dennis admits. He looks over at Robby, staring at the side of his face. They’ve been closer than this before, but being in the car together feels strangely intimate. “What would you do?”
“If it was me… I’d at least go for that dinner. But I’m not you. You need to do what’s best for you, Dennis.”
There it is again, his name from Robby’s mouth. It makes his attention linger, still staring at Robby’s face. Dennis is once again overwhelmed with the urge to just bury his face in Robby’s neck and pretend the world doesn’t exist, but that’s not the grown up thing to do. He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, rubs his temples with his fingertips as Robby continues, “Carry your patients with you as much or as little as you like. Find your balance. But remember that you’re human.”
Dennis opens his eyes to the countryside fading away and the city bleeding in. He knows Robby is right. That’s what he needs: balance.
In his last year of med school, Dennis learns to let go of the guilt that plagues him.

Summary
Dr. Robby and Whitaker try to ease each other's worries, and they do, but not in the way either of them expected.
*****
It was a hard decision to make, but Robby decided he didn't want to risk his new intern, who he definitely needed at work tomorrow, catching pneumonia.
He zipped up his hoodie, mildly annoyed at himself for not just ignoring it when he had the chance.
“Whitaker, listen. I don't want you calling in sick tomorrow, so…” Robby took a few steps back and scratched his head. “Why don't we get you someplace warm, and you can ask me whatever you want there? I don't live far from here.”

Summary
11:32 PM: hey sweetheart
Whitaker felt his nose crinkle. He shouldn’t even respond, even if the words made his ears burn pink. It was only a matter of time before this guy asked him to meet up in a dark part of Pittsburgh, or solicited feet pictures, or blackmailed him-
A follow up message, and Whitaker’s stomach churned, eyebrows pulled together as his eyes scanned the screen in confusion.
11:32 PM: what’re you up to?
What was any respectable, tax-paying citizen ’up to’ at 11:30 PM on a Wednesday? He wanted to snort- it was a stupid question. What was the point of catfishing anyway? What kind of weird sexual thrill did people get from lying or deceiving people? Or maybe they just wanted to be on TV in some weird twist of events. Freaks, that’s who. Still, if there was even a chance-
His fingers seemed to be typing back on their own volition. No!
11:33 PM: hi :-) just in bed, wbu?
