    Summary

    'There's a notification clogging up his screen.

    Dennis Whitaker (R1): Hey, just wanted to check in with you after yesterday. It was intense. And also, that thing you were asking about? I feel like Trin kinda got in your head about it. Amy's really just a friend. She needs help on the farm, with a baby, and I'm pretty good at farmwork. That's all.

    It's entirely too much justification for your boss.'

     

    Robby finally makes it to his sabbatical.

    Whitaker finds himself a little adrift without his boss around.

    Jack is just trying to make sure the both of them are happy.

    Summary

    ”I shouldn’t’ve—” Robby cuts himself off, swallowing thickly. “That shouldn’t’ve happened.”

    Dennis’s chest caves in. He stares down at the crumpled tissues in his hands and blinks fast, refusing to cry here. Not like this, not in front of Robby. Not after what they just did.

    “This can’t happen again, Whitaker.”

    Dennis and Robby hook up in the back of Robby’s car. Robby tells Dennis it was a one-off thing, but they’re unable to stop it from happening again. And again and again.

    Summary

    Dennis digs through his bag for the crumpled piece of paper he knows to be in there somewhere. His chest feels tight, and his lip bleeds from biting the tears away. He smooths the single sheet of computer paper out as best he can and gets a pen from off his nightstand to add some comments in the margins. It's been weeks since he wrote the note, and there are things that need to be addressed.

    I'm sorry Dr. Robby, he writes at the very top, breath caught in his throat. He's not afraid, but a last-ditch effort at self-preservation from his body makes each inhale heavy. I'm sorry for making you take me in. You're a good man and I took advantage of that.

    Summary

    Dennis clasps his hands together, bowing his head. He asks God for forgiveness for what he’s about to do, and for not praying as often as he should—for not going to church and for sleeping with men to not freeze to death in the winter.

    “Whitaker?” He startles so hard he nearly falls off the edge. It’s Robby. “What are you doing here?”

    “Just sitting.”

    “How about you scoot back a little? Sit behind the railing instead. It’s there for a reason, you know.” There’s something careful in his voice. Dennis hates that. Robby should still be angry with him, he should be screaming and cursing.
