(Kinda meant this as a Christmas idea, but then wrote it and realized it could be either or.😛 I think it’s still quite hallmark-esque.. But I might be wrong… Oh well.. I like the idea.XD )
Get this.
Dennis (26) never moved away from Nebraska. He wanted to become a doctor, but the guilt of leaving his family was too much, and he became a veterinarian instead.
Robby (50-54) stressed out of his mind, finally takes Jack Abbot’s advice and quits his job at the pitt.(His advice in this universe.😛 ) Wanting to still be a doctor, he looks around for a new place to work and maybe even a new town to call home.
He stumbles upon one of those job listings that never seem to get picked, the ones all the new, up-and-coming doctors avoid. The main doctor in a little town all the way in Nebraska.
He doesn't take too long to think about it, just applies and awaits an answer.
He gets the most pleasantly worded acceptance letter and maybe even a phone call with the nicest lady. She’s calling to make sure he really did mean to send the application, and that he really wants the job. He still says yes, and they get the details in order.
Yada-yada.. Theres's packing, saying goodbye and all that.
Robby gets to Broken Bow. Theres an old house ready for him, not in the best shape but good enough. The clinic is on the same property. It's in the town but there's still some privacy in the main house.
Too much detail.. XD I guess I might try and write this myself.. Maybe. But I’ll try to summaries the good stuff.
So Robby needs to get to know the people, they are friendly but don’t really seem to need a doctor all that much.
Sometimes he’s informed of an accident a day or two after it happened, but when he gets to the patient, they have already had their injury seen to. And by someone who knows what they’re doing.
At some point, their paths cross. Dennis has been acting as the town's doctor for a couple of years, using his knowledge as a vet to do what he could, and also studying human medicine on the side. He's basically carried himself halfway through medical school or something.
So much fun to be had with this. Maybe they meet before Robby figured out Dennis was the one doing his job. Maybe they had a moment or something.
There could be rival vibes, or just sweetness.
Oh! And the lady Robby talked to. That’s Dennis's mother. She’s lovely, his whole family is super nice and accepting… or maybe not fully, could be a little drama.
At some point, they get together, of course. Dennis' mom is so happy her boy has finally found someone who seems to complement her boy so well. She does not give a damn about the age difference.<3
