    Summary

    Jack and Robby share a look. "Dennis," Robby starts. "We've been talking this morning and - you're welcome to stay as long as you like."

    Dennis blinks. "That's - that's really kind of you, but I shouldn't impose. I can be out of here by the end of the week."

    "Do you actually have anywhere to go?" Jack asks, more sharply than he intended.

    Dennis hesitates, then shakes his head, eyes fixed on the table. "No, sir."

    Jack's face softens. "Listen, kid, I'm not a Corporal anymore - you can just call me Jack off-shift, alright?" Jack waits until Dennis nods to continue. "As for staying here, you're not imposing, okay. Robby and I are offering."

    Dennis sucks in a breath. "I don't - I don't understand why, though."

    "Why?" Robby repeats. "Because you're in a tough spot, and we can help."

    ***

    Or, Dennis comes to Pittsburgh homeless and disowned by his family. Little by little, he finds a place he can call home again.
