Summary
Dennis takes a deep breath in to calm himself, but as he breathes out, he confesses, “Trinity made a bet with Samira that I could get anyone in the bar to buy me a drink because I kind of have a knack for it, but Samira chose you, and now they’re watching us, and I’m so sorry.”
His boss blinks at him a couple of times, probably figuring out the least problematic way to fire him or berate him for being so damn unprofessional. He should’ve just said no to Trinity and Samira and killed the vibes for the night; he’d prefer that to whatever Robby is about to say. He can already see the anger bubbling up inside him that’s going to—
“I’ll buy you a drink.”
Dennis stares at him, unblinking. After a few seconds, he manages to ask, “What?”
“I’ll buy you a drink,” Robby repeats, then leans over to pat the bar stool next to him. “But you’re going to have to earn it.”

Or, Dennis tries every trick in the book to get Dr. Robby to buy him a drink and to stay.

Summary
Everyone knows that the shortest path between two points is a straight line. Robby has never been one to seek out shortcuts. He has always trusted that fate has placed him where he’s meant to be, but when he wakes up 5 years in the future in a committed relationship he is desperate for answers of how he got from point a to point b. The truth may lie within getting to know the man he’s sleeping next to.
Sometimes the path to self love is complicated, and needs a kickstart in the ass from fate.
