robby gets buzzed or drunk and calls collins post season finale because the shift from hell is hitting him full force and he just wants to hear her voice (don't remember at this very moment if he has the next four days off after this shift but if not then i still think this could work even without the four days off being directly after the shift)

robby shows up at collins’ doorstep post season finale apologetic but reaching out for her so he doesn’t have a full breakdown now that he isn’t distracted by work

collins asking robby out, their subsequent first (covid- safe) date

robby starts going to therapy and, honestly, he hates it. he really fucking hates talking to someone about his thoughts and feelings and traumas. it feels like a fucked up humiliation ritual to him. but he does it. and he talks to collins about it and she encourages him and he yearns for her and hopes that maybe, maybe, when he’s further on this whole healing journey thing then she’ll give him another chance. so he keeps going

collins can’t get the conversation they had in the back of the ambulance off her mind. maybe she calls him and tells him the words she couldn’t before because it’s easier to say it over the phone instead of face to face

maybe adamson didn’t approve at first; all the longing glances and sneaky smiles. of course he noticed. there wasn’t a thing that could happen in his ER without him noticing it. a flirtation between an attending and an intern couldn’t happen and wouldn’t end well. but dana can sense his distress and she talks to him about it, says, “aren’t there bigger things to worry about right now? besides, i got $20 on them coming to you in a two weeks. care to make a wager?”
