    Summary

    The man squinted stubbornly. “Man, hell nah. Maybe it’s just for show. You know — ring to ward off the creeps."

    Daniel gave him a look. “ You do know you’re literally the creep it’s meant to ward off.”

    Another patient intervened, “Okay, okay. But weirdo with the scar has a point. Dr. Whitaker practically lives here. I always see him when I come back here. How’s a man like that got time for a spouse?"

    Daniel tilted his head. Come to think of it, he always sees Dr. Whitaker working himself down to the bone.

    And looking back at it, there was one person Whitaker seemed... different around. “Maybe,” Daniel said slowly, “he’s married to one of the doctors in here."

     
    TLDR: the patients at PTMC make a bet to figure out who Dr. Whitaker's mysterious husband is.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Read: no because this is genuinely one of the best short stories I’ve ever read. The tone is so authentically beautiful. Ugh.
