    Summary

    "Congrats again on the award; you deserve it." And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

    Probably off to go plan how to hit on Jack. Jack, who this random doctor wanted to have sex with. Here. At the conference.

    Intellectually, Robby knew that was what people did at these things. Drunken hookups at conferences were common, though often denied, if not regretted. Robby had never partaken because that was not his speed, but Jack—

    Well, Jack had no such qualms. And at an ED medical conference, he was basically a rockstar. He could probably have anyone he wanted.

    Summary

    For the most part, Robby likes living alone.

    He likes the quiet of the mornings, drinking coffee with a book on the porch and nothing but birdsong to interrupt his peace. Likes the space, both mental and physical, likes cooking himself a meal or hogging the blankets knowing he won’t get in anyone else’s way. And when loneliness starts to creep in, he reminds himself what happened with all the people who’ve tried to walk that path with him before.

    For the most part, Robby likes living alone.

    …Except when all three of his fucking horses get loose at once.

    or

    when lonely cowboy robby's hot ranch neighbor jack comes to the horse rescue, robby falls head over heels almost instantly. slowly, neighbors blossom into friends blossoms into a quiet, heated, eternal kind of love.

    Summary

    Robby hasn’t felt so obvious and awkward since he sprang up five inches freshman year of high school. Here he stands in the middle of the doorway, bearing several tell-tales of a life upside down. He’s wide awake at 2 AM. He’s scruffy headed, and stuck wearing sweat pants a size too big for the weight he’s lost in recovery. Just the weight of his phone in his pocket would be enough to drag them down over his bruised and battered hip bones if he didn’t knot them up mercilessly. Robby stinks of Wet Ones and rinse-free shampoo. And to top it all off, he’s become completely, heart wringingly, affectionately incontinent.

    Summary

    An unexpected break-up means Robby ends up going to Pittfest with Jake after all. He asks Abbot to cover half his shift, and Abbot is happy to agree—surely half a day shift can't be nearly as chaotic as the usual night shift. Everything that happens later changes his perspective on plenty of things, from just how crazy the day shift can get, to where exactly he wants to stand with Robby.
