    Bookmarker's Notes

    Harold realized what Stanton had meant by a tell. He couldn't help recognizing that John didn't want him hearing this.

    Summary

    “Peter,” Nightingale says, “it’s nothing, I assure you, it’s -” he steps towards me as though he’s trying to comfort me but wobbles, swaying on his feet. I lean in to steady him without even thinking about it, catching his elbow and keeping him up, and, as I grab him, Nightingale makes a long, low moan.

    “Does an Italian DILF work here?” He motioned above Carmy’s hand with a flat hand. “Yea high, super blue eyes?”

    It took Carmy embarrassingly long to catch up. He just frowned, chugging until— Christ, he meant Richie. Carmy said the first thing that came to mind.

    Summary

    "Congrats again on the award; you deserve it." And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

    Probably off to go plan how to hit on Jack. Jack, who this random doctor wanted to have sex with. Here. At the conference.

    Intellectually, Robby knew that was what people did at these things. Drunken hookups at conferences were common, though often denied, if not regretted. Robby had never partaken because that was not his speed, but Jack—

    Well, Jack had no such qualms. And at an ED medical conference, he was basically a rockstar. He could probably have anyone he wanted.
