    Summary

    "Can I say something ghoulish?" Robby asked, soft in that way he got when he was ashamed of himself.

    "Brother, you can say anything you want," Jack shot back, easy.

    "You know what I mean."

    "Aren't we past this? Like, years past this? And besides, I've seen into the deepest, darkest, blackest pit of human depravity; if you say anything that even rates, I will be impressed."

    Summary

    "IPA," Robby called again, a reminder.

    "For that, I'm getting you a Bavarian wheat beer, you prissy fuck." But Jack bypassed the respectable Penn Pilsner and grabbed a pack of their hopped-to-shit IPA, hating himself a little for giving in...but it would make Robby smile.

    The door banged open, spinning Jack around, senses instantly on alert as a guy rushed in, black bandana tied around his face, pistol pointing at Sal as he shouted. "Open the register! Now!"

    Summary

    "Tell me something that brings you comfort."

    "Something that brings me comfort?" Robby shot back, his tone mocking the frivolity of it, because he never was one to just follow directions.

    "Yes," Gene said, eternally unfazed. "It can be the smallest thing, whatever comes to mind."

    What came to mind was: Pens games, the trails at Frick Park, the rare book collection in the Oliver Room at Carnegie Main, a cortado at Sage Caffe. But what he said was: "Jack."

    ...wait. Shit.

    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.

    Hardly anyone at PTMC knows they’re married. That is until Jack shows up unannounced one evening. On a stretcher.
