    Summary

    Dr. Robert “Robby” Hale has always been the calm at the center of the storm — the kind of doctor who keeps his composure no matter how chaotic the hospital gets. But after years of sleepless nights, caffeine-fueled shifts, and the quiet erosion of his own spirit, he begins to break down.

    He begs for release.

    Then Dennis arrives — a soft-spoken, eager young man with short blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and a past he keeps carefully hidden. He’s bright. He’s bright and a little too kind for his own good.

    Maybe this is why he keeps rotating around a certain doctor with the sad smile and pained eyes? Maybe…

    Robby quickly learns that Dennis has nowhere else to go, finding him one night sleeping in a patient’s room. Reluctantly, Robby takes him in, offering him a place to stay until he gets back on his feet.

    What begins as an act of kindness turns into a quiet companionship neither of them expected…

    For the best…or for the worst.
