    Summary

    “When is the last time you bought new clothes?” Jack asked.

    He was standing in front of Robby’s closet with a suspicious look on his face, holding a threadbare gray hoodie between two fingers like it had committed a felony and was awaiting sentencing.

    Robby looked up from where he was pulling socks out of the drawer. “Don’t start. I just bought new scrubs.”

    Summary

    Clark crossed one leg over the other. “And what tells you you’re no longer there?”

    Robby blinked.

    “I just said.”

    “No,” Clark said mildly. “You said you’re eating, sleeping, functioning, and in love. Those are all real things. They are also not, in and of themselves, evidence that the underlying structure is sound.”

    The room went a little still.

    Robby gave a short laugh.

    “Well, that’s bleak.”

    Summary

    Robby should have known something was wrong when Dana looked up from the board, took one glance at him shoving his arms into his jacket like the building was on fire, and smiled.
    ...
    Then she said, far too casually, “Just wondering what’s got you in such a hurry.”
    Robby frowned. “I’m going home.”
    Dana’s mouth twitched.
    “Of course you are.”
    Something in his spine went on alert. “What is that supposed to mean.”
    “Nothing,” she said again, with the innocent tone of a woman who had never been innocent a day in her life. “Just figured it must be date night.”
    Robby blinked.
    “What?”
    Dana turned back to the board. “Abbot’s off tonight, isn’t he?”
    ----

    Dana clocks that Jack has been courting Robby for months, Robby predictably is completely calm and composed about it.*

    *He freaks out. A lot.
