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.

“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
The car was no longer horizontal. It was twisted, crunched. God knew what they’d hit. The floor sloped sharply, littered with shattered glass. Smoke hung thick, mixing with the copper tang of blood and scorched plastic.
Emergency lights flickered, casting everything in a stuttering red glow like a battlefield lit by fire.
Jack’s therapist would have a field day.
Then the realization of where he was going this morning came to him. A meeting downtown. No, where were they going?
“Robby?” he rasped.

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.
