Summary
After a horror movie leaves him too embarrassed to admit he's scared of the dark, Dennis Whitaker makes the questionable decision to text Dr. Robby at two in the morning. Somehow that turns into late-night visits, tiny beds, baseball games, and the slow realization that maybe being cared for doesn't have to feel temporary.

Summary
“I don’t know how to want you without feeling like I’m choosing to be punished.” The words tremble and hold an old, practiced shame that never quite loosened its grip. Dennis sniffles and rubs at his eyes to get the tears to stop, but they never do.
Robby says nothing.
OR
Dennis Whitaker was raised to believe that some kinds of love are wrong—but the closer he gets to Robby, the harder it becomes to believe that something so gentle could possibly damn him for eternity.

Summary
Dennis lays in the bed with a stillness so absolute it feels staged. A ventilator breathes for him in measured sighs, the sound too rhythmic to be human. It almost looks like he’s a kid pretending to sleep in the backseat of his parents’ car, hoping to be carried inside by strong paternal arms.
Robby would do anything for that to be the case. Instead, it is sedation that has smoothed away the sharpness from Dennis’s features.
It is a heart attack that has made him so still.
Or,
Dennis Whitaker fails to clear and gets shocked by a defibrillator. He takes it as a punishment for sinful eyes that can't seem to look away from Dr. Robby and decides not to tell anyone. The ER keeps moving, but Dennis's heart doesn't. It terribly, horribly doesn't.

Summary
"You know how I feel about your situation with Amy, anyway."
Dennis got a kind of satisfaction from hearing that. He wanted, so so badly, for someone to tell him to stop. For someone to make him realize that he was working himself into the same grave he saw so many queer people back home work themselves to. Those people who he swore he'd never be like and the norms he swore he'd never accept. Here he was, 800 miles from home and looking for pieces of it everywhere.
All Robby had to say was stop, and he would. Because he could see the difference between what he did with Robby and Jane and what he did with Amy and Theo. Robby never asked for more than what he could give. He never asked for anything, really, aside from the initial question.
Everything else was Dennis wanting to be there.

Summary
“He wants a wife, two kids and a pond.”
Dennis is two long islands deep when Samira confesses this to the group.
“A what?” Dennis shouts on top of the booming music.
Dennis doesn’t ask because he couldn’t hear. He asks because he needs to hear it again for it to fully sink in.
“A wife, two kids and a pond.” Jack repeats.
-
Or: Dennis finds out about Robby’s unattained dreams. While he can’t be a wife or bear children, Dennis can build a pond.
