Housesitting for his boss while he's away seems like a pretty sweet deal. All Dennis has to do is feed a neighbourhood cat and find those plants that Robby asked him to water. That is, until he needs some plumbing advice and realises that Doctor Robby might not be as honest, okay, or unavailable as the man first appeared. Also known as: clinically avoidant and chronically burnt-out Robby tries really, really hard not to pin his entire will to live on one first-year resident and almost succeeds. Then the cat distribution system baby-traps them. ~ Look after yourself, kid,’ Robby said, flinging out a hand to rest on Dennis’s shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. ‘Don’t let this place wear you down.’ ‘Yes, sir,’ Dennis replied once more. and then he struggled to parse the strange flickering expression that passed over Robby’s face. The man looked exhausted, and not just long shift exhausted, but bone-dead tired. ‘I hope you have fun, get some rest, well-earned time off, and all that,’ he added with what he hoped was a reassuring smile. ‘Me too, Whitaker,’ Robby said quietly, squeezing his shoulder once more, patting the place his hand had been twice, and then withdrawing it.
