Summary
Dennis’ family have all met their soulmates, no muss, no fuss. Just love. He’s sure it’ll be the same way for him, even as he leaves the farm to go to medical school. Why wouldn’t it be?
Robby does not want a soulmate. He spent his years in medical school filled with anticipation just for it to never come, leaving him hurt and spiteful, so why should he continue to wait any longer?

Summary
“I haven’t really been to a wedding where I’ve, uh… let loose. But, hey,” Dennis shrugged, “maybe I’m doing it wrong.”
“If I hadn’t already agreed to go to this conference, I’d offer to go with you,” Robby said casually. “Show you how it’s done. I’ve got a good track record as a plus-one, too.” Dennis had to say something. To interrupt. To shut this down. But what was he supposed to say? No, you can’t be my plus one, because I lied about my cousin, and there is no wedding, and it seems a little weird to bring a date to a fucking funeral– “Apparently parents love it when you bring home a doctor.”
And just like that, the bubble popped.
“I’m not gay,” Dennis snapped.
He had never hated the sound of his own voice as much as he did right then.

Or, Dennis is anxiously headed home for a "wedding" in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the details of which are increasingly fuzzy. Robby's got a medical conference in Omaha that same weekend. So they carpool. Seventeen hours both ways in an enclosed space with no way out except a tuck and roll. This'll go great.- Language:

Summary
Dr. Robby is too old for this. Too old to be losing sleep over a resident.
It starts slowly. Favours and conversation. Things that last longer than they should.
Clearly there is nothing to discuss since the whole thing is just a temporary lapse in judgment.
Still, the way Dennis looks at him makes everything harder…And Robby, who has spent his entire life being careful, realises he may have already passed the line of no return.Slowburn, the chapters get longer as we go, cuz I get greedy
( posting when I can, proofreading when I can, sorry I just wanna go with my stupid stream of thoughts.)
