“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.

Summary
Is that the kind of person Robby thinks he is? Someone who would cheat? It’s strangely hurtful. If Robby had reached out and punched him in the ribs it might’ve been less painful than the ache he feels in his chest right now. Thou shalt not commit adultery. He doesn’t think you need to be Christian to know that’s one of the big ones. Not that Dennis is so religious anymore, but– he’s a good person. He likes to think he is, anyway.
Dennis stares at Robby, swaying lightly, and says, “Wait you– what, you think I’m dating Amy and sleeping with you?”
The day before Robby's sabbatical, he and Dennis have a misunderstanding.

Summary
Dennis always figured he would die in Nebraska; the place he loathed, and missed, and begrudgingly loved. Would he still go to heaven if he was buried in Pittsburgh?
OR: In which Dennis never finds the abandoned wing of the hospital, so Trinity never finds out he is homeless, Abbot is a part of the street team, and Robby is constantly worried.
