Summary
Years of working in a teaching hospital primed Robby for answering a variety of unexpected things. There are no stupid questions. Every question asked is an opportunity to learn. Valuable bits of information will be unlocked in life simply from being unafraid to ask for them.
The philosophy is sound. Until Dennis and Jack start asking questions and decide Robby's an idiot who's giving all the wrong answers. He has to get through to them that there are some things in life you just don't want to know.
OR: Dennis and Jack corner Robby in a Chili's booth to talk about their feelings.

Summary
This had been his life in Nebraska. He remembered touring and hitting rodeos all over the Midwest. Whitaker had become a name on the circuit. It surprised first-time watchers when he flew out of the box. He was the smallest steer-wrestler people saw. Now, he was a doctor who moonlighted on the circuit. He didn't think anyone would find out, but Trinity Santos never misses a beat.

Summary
“Trin, what is Dr. Robby’s full name?” he knows he sounds crazy. And panicked. And like he’s choking on his tears (which he almost is). But he needs to know.
“Huh? Why do you need to know?”
“Please, it’s important”, he’s slowly losing his breath, his lungs stuttering inside his chest.
“His last name is Robinavitch, as for his first name, I have no idea. What do you need it for?”
“Michael. His name is Michael”, then he hangs up, not waiting for Trinity’s response. He leans his head on his knees, trying to catch a breath, but to no avail.
Michael Robinavitch and Jack Abbot
Mickey and Jackie
They’ve been here all along without his knowing.
or Dennis Whitaker finds a way to stop being a vampire and live again. He starts his newly acquired life in Pittsburgh as a med student. What he doesn't expect is that in the hospital, his two ER attendings are his ex-lovers whom he left many years ago.

Summary
Just minutes after leaving the hospital, Whitaker remembers one last question about house-sitting and calls Robby from the car. A quick phone call from the car seems harmless enough... until his battered-up phone fails to hang up.
By the time Whitaker notices, Robby has already heard the one thing Whitaker never wanted him to: that three months apart won't be nearly enough to get over the feelings he has for him.
Three months later, Robby comes home to a spotless apartment, an anxious house-sitter, and a conversation that's been waiting to happen. Whitaker has no idea whether Robby knows or not. Robby has no idea how to tell him that he does. Inevitably, the truth they've both been carefully avoiding finally comes to light.

Summary
Dennis Whitaker has been hiding his Type 1 Diabetes behind rationed insulin and a practiced smile for years. When his insurance decides to take a shit, so does the fragile balance he’s been clinging to. Of course, Dr. Robby notices the tremor in his hands long before Dennis ever speaks a word — and offers a solution Dennis never expected: a fake marriage to get him covered.
It’s supposed to be practical. Temporary. Nothing more.
But when they have to pretend to be in love to prove they are in a "Bona fide marriage" nothing stays simple. Especially when someone finally sees you.
