Summary
“Do you actually, y’know, like him?”
Dennis bristled. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Santos put up her hands defensively. “Hey, I’ve got nothing against the guy. Robby is a great doctor and a good boss. I just… I mean he is like twice your age, man.”
Dennis didn’t have a good answer. The age thing wasn’t going anywhere, and truthfully, Dennis didn’t want it to. He liked that Dr. Robby was older. He liked that he was more experienced and hardened by life in a way Dennis barely understood. Sure, it made Dennis feel safe and looked out for in a way he never really had been before, but more than that, it made Dennis desperate to return the favor. He wanted to be there for Dr. Robby, and not in ways that were strictly professional.
When he realized he hadn’t said anything, Dennis simply shrugged. “Maybe I have a thing for crows' feet, ever thought about that?”--

Summary
The first couple of dollars that the machine ate up without remorse were an annoyance, something that made Dennis sigh and unzip his wallet without thinking about it to try again. By the time that the vending machine had eaten seven whole dollars, in coins, and Dennis didn’t have anything to show for it, he was close to thumping his forehead against the cool glass and hoping he could derive some sort of enjoyment or nourishment from simply just looking at the colourful packages as they remained firmly in their coils.
He didn’t often carry coins. Those were his last few dollars and he was woefully aware that somebody had offhandedly mentioned that the staffroom vending machine destroyed notes, so he wasn’t going to be getting a soda, a bag of chips or anything else that might settle his belly from the incessant grumbling it was doing.

5 times + 1 that Robby buys something for Dennis and makes him feel like he's about to keel over, right there and then.
