Summary
The hours in the days that follow are marked by the sunlight, and then lack thereof. Then sleep. Shower. The periods of travel are divided by the breaks when he becomes too hungry to keep going like a wind-up toy.
He'd thought he would be existing by the established shift rhythm. 8 am, 10 am, 2 pm. Hand-off.
But no. Truly, some sort of string had been cut off, somewhere between taking the bike away from the hospital parking spot and reaching the first hotel. It isn't exactly a relief, even if his body thinks it is.
Robby leaves on his Sabbatical alone, with plans. Except, technically, he's not alone. He just doesn't know it yet. No one does.

Summary
"How about you go and sleep at mine," Robby says, getting a curious rise of eyebrows as a reaction from Jack. The man now fully turns to face him. "Get some proper rest, then cook us dinner—"
"Uh huh?"
"If you can't sleep," Robby continues, "do some vacuuming around the bedroom."
"Huh."
"And when I get home, you can have your reward. For being a good attending," he finishes before he can have the time to rethink it and stop his mouth from letting the words out.Jack Abbot is having a good week. Robby is not having a bad one. They come together for another hand-off, another day. Or, it would have been another day if they didn't stick together like two velcro pieces, unwilling to part.

This can be read alone as a situationship sex between one man who's broken and the other man who doesn't know yet how to fix it without spooking the first one. In the series, this is the part of how the baby Robinavitch in "No Baby Ever Saved a Marriage" came to be, two months before the Sabbatical.Series
