Summary
Dr. Michael Robinavitch moves his new MS4 around the ER by whatever handle is closest — shoulder, elbow, the back of the neck. It's habit. It means nothing.
Dennis Whitaker is four hundred years old. He's studying to be a doctor this century for the same reason he does every century, human suffering still interests him. He did not expect to find himself standing very still in a hospital corridor, thinking about the warmth of an attending's hand.
Jack Abbot is Robby's husband, his mirror, and the only person alive who understands exactly how Robby is disappearing — and that gentleness isn't going to stop it. When he finds Dennis living in the abandoned eighth floor, he doesn't call security.
He asks what Dennis wants.A story about being held when you've forgotten how to ask for it.
