    Summary

    “He wants a wife, two kids and a pond.”

    Dennis is two long islands deep when Samira confesses this to the group.

    “A what?” Dennis shouts on top of the booming music.

    Dennis doesn’t ask because he couldn’t hear. He asks because he needs to hear it again for it to fully sink in.

    “A wife, two kids and a pond.” Jack repeats.

    -

    Or: Dennis finds out about Robby’s unattained dreams. While he can’t be a wife or bear children, Dennis can build a pond.

    Summary

    It’s the spring of ‘97 when Michael Robinavitch is dragged into a gay bar for the very first time.

    When he meets Jack Abbot there, the two of them are on the cusp of radically different futures: Robby is about to begin his residency, and Jack is leaving for the army. They know better than to get attached - know the timing is wrong, the goodbye inevitable - but something tender takes root anyway. Through every deployment, Jack thinks of Robby more than he ought to; through every failed relationship, Robby wonders about what might've been.

    Years later, when their paths cross again at PTMC, the past resurfaces — and though they’re older, more jaded, and scarred in different ways, they find themselves pulled towards everything they left unfinished.
