Pretty good, she answers. What about you, toots?
Why are you calling me that?

Summary
“Dr. Abbot, are you asking me what I’m wearing?” Robby asked, feigning shock. Jack bit his lip and closed his eyes for a moment. What a gift it was to catch this man with his guard down, with his voice low and warm like caramel sauce on apple pie. “Are you using a line on me?”
Jack finds himself on the roof again.

Summary
When Robby ambled in a little early for his shift, central was a hive of activity, Walsh calling back to Jack as she accompanied a gurney out of Trauma 2: "Learn from the master, soldier boy."
"When you find one, be sure to let me know, princess," he shot right back, but the note of fondness in his tone made Robby freeze. That wasn't their usual back-and-forth. That held warmth to it. An undercurrent of knowing. A joke shared between two people who'd seen each other naked. More than once.
Robby clocked Jack watching Walsh go—what the fuck—and then he went back into Trauma 2, debriefing with the team. It was the tiniest moment, nothing—
And yet Robby's whole understanding had just realigned. Jack and Walsh. What the fuck.

Summary
“What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were off today.” Dana’s exclamation was all the warning Robby got before he spotted the familiar silhouette approaching out of the corner of his eye.
Her confusion was clearly shared by everyone around them. To their credit, it was understandable; seeing Abbot around in the light of day usually meant trouble.
Only this time, it was a different kind of trouble.
“I am.” Though his answer was directed at Dana, Jack’s eyes were fixed on Robby. “We need to talk.”
For a split second it seemed as if everything froze around them; the people, the machines, god, even the fucking air felt solid with his presence.Or
Robby does something stupid and Jack has to exercise 110% of his patience to not just strangle him right there and then.

Summary
“So walk me through it, then.”
They’re not at the hospital. They’re on the roof of Robby’s apartment building. There’s no railing here. No safe place to retreat behind. There’s just Robby standing on brick, the battered edges of his Reeboks touching the cool night air and nothing else. Jack has hit that point where fear has gone white hot, reforming itself into anger. Fear shuts you down. Anger kept you moving. (Kept you alive.)

Summary
Jack Abbot stops breathing at exactly 8:52pm.
“Oh my God,” he hears someone exclaim, but he couldn’t tell you who.
As he takes in the figure on the gurney being wheeled into the ER, the IV in his arm, the blood in his hair, and the air being forced into his lungs every three seconds, Jack’s whole chest seizes up.
“It’s Doctor Robby,” One of the paramedics exclaims, like Jack can’t recognise him. Like they hadn’t kissed each other goodbye on the roof less than two hours ago.

Summary
Lifting himself just enough to be heard, Robby shook his head. “It’s not like that, Jack. No evidence needed.”
“It sure as hell looks like it’s like that,” Jack said, his anger bleeding through despite his best effort to keep himself in check.
Robby looked directly at Jack for the first time since Jack had arrived. His eyes held a mix of shame and pain, and Jack was furious at the thought that somehow Robby thought he had to excuse the person who’d done this to him. But before Jack could say as much, Robby rocked him to his core by saying, “I asked for this.”

Summary
Jack had just stepped back onto the main floor when he clocked movement at the ambulance entrance, two guys hurrying in, the smaller one helping a guy with a sweatshirt covered in blood. But something was wrong, some unnamable instinct rising within Jack at the way they moved. It was too fluid, too controlled. Jack knew what the walking wounded looked like, had seen it for years, from war zones to bar fights. This wasn't the injured seeking help; this was men hunting.
Time slowed, Jack's heart rate spiking, the adrenaline dump casting everything in sharp relief—the full ED floor, patients plus shift change meaning twice the usual personnel were here.
Robby was here.
That thought got him moving, Jack approaching laterally. He got there right as the guns came out.

Summary
"IPA," Robby called again, a reminder.
"For that, I'm getting you a Bavarian wheat beer, you prissy fuck." But Jack bypassed the respectable Penn Pilsner and grabbed a pack of their hopped-to-shit IPA, hating himself a little for giving in...but it would make Robby smile.
The door banged open, spinning Jack around, senses instantly on alert as a guy rushed in, black bandana tied around his face, pistol pointing at Sal as he shouted. "Open the register! Now!"

Summary
"Congrats again on the award; you deserve it." And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.
Probably off to go plan how to hit on Jack. Jack, who this random doctor wanted to have sex with. Here. At the conference.
Intellectually, Robby knew that was what people did at these things. Drunken hookups at conferences were common, though often denied, if not regretted. Robby had never partaken because that was not his speed, but Jack—
Well, Jack had no such qualms. And at an ED medical conference, he was basically a rockstar. He could probably have anyone he wanted.

Summary
Greg is getting irritated again. “I know I’m not one of Alex’s fifty closest friends, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care."
“Did he tell you that?” Tim asks. "That you’re not one of his five hundred closest friends or whatever?"
“I said fifty,” Greg says. “Now I’m thinking it’s five hundred and I feel even worse.”

Or: Tim has known Alex for two decades and knows him better than anyone, and still thinks he would rather die than hear Alex say something nice about him.
Greg has known Alex for almost one decade now, but he still sometimes feel like he doesn't know him at all.

“Perrito?”

Summary
“Oh,” Lawrence said, with a half-smile. Ray would find this anecdote amusing. “She doesn’t seem to appreciate the limitations of our vocation. So I can't quite follow all of her directives, is what I meant to say.”
He waited for Ray to make one of his normal jokes about the differences between clergy and laypeople, but Ray’s brow crinkled. “You haven’t been following the doctor’s orders?”
//
Or, Lawrence gets some awkward medical advice. Ray has always been a very dedicated assistant.

Summary
The first time - the day Tedesco found out - was the worst day of Aldo’s life.
He’d never run from Tedesco before. But then, he’d never been humiliated on this level before. He’d never been hard during one of their arguments before.
Had he?
But he slept now, deeply and dreamlessly, his mind no longer crowded with the guilt and shame and all-consuming fear. Somehow it seemed that a knot Aldo hadn’t known he was carrying in his chest was loosening. Someone knew his secret. And while it hurt that it was Tedesco, it hurt that Tedesco had chosen to use his secret to hurt him, it hurt a lot less than he had imagined it would. There was a sense of being fully seen, fully and finally known, that soothed parts of him that had been hurt for a long longer and a lot worse than this.
Friends, it's not canon to the book (barely canonical to the movie) - I was inspired.
TW: sexual abuse, but Aldo keeps going back for more; happy ending, I promise.Series
