Summary
Cassie McKay has spent three months learning Victoria Javadi’s rotation schedule well enough to never run into her — ever since the Fourth of July, when they kissed in a parked car and McKay called it a mistake to protect Victoria, because admitting she was the one who was scared was never going to be an option.
Then a code silver clears on the psych floor, and Victoria comes through the ER doors on a gurney instead.

“Door!” Santos yelled, breathless, outraged, as if he had breached a cockpit.
“It’s the kitchen!” Whitaker yelled back, already in the hallway, hand clamped over his eyes. “The kitchen doesn’t have a door! We eat there!”
From behind him, Garcia’s voice, wholly unbothered, the tone of a woman who had never in her life ceased an activity she intended to continue: “We’ll bleach the counters after we’re done. Now get your water.”

Summary
Garcia has one rule: no touching at work. Santos has one hobby: stress-testing rules for structural weaknesses.
The bet is simple. Loser cooks for a month. Then Santos shows up with a mullet, and Garcia realizes she is not playing against an improviser—she is playing against someone with a list of every unguarded thing Garcia has ever said in the dark, and a plan to execute it item by item.

“Flu A, by the way,” Garcia went on. “Congratulations. Robby took one look at your numbers, benched you for the week, and told me—quote—‘get her out of my department before she licks a doorknob.‘”
“He knows too?”
“He knows you’re sick and that I took you home… Whatever else he knows, he had the grace to keep off his face.”

“What was that?”
“Karaoke. You dared me.”
“That was not karaoke, that was—” Santos gestures at the entire visible universe. “You almost kissed her.”
“Did I?” Javadi tilts her head, and there it is again, that same flash, but Santos is far too far gone to read it now. “I was performing. You’re the one who’s always saying I should loosen up. Get out of my own head. Live a little—”

Summary

The needle driver slips.
It doesn’t slip much. A millimeter. The patient doesn’t notice. Robby doesn’t notice.

The data-confirmed thing.

Summary
“I mean. I’ve seen a few of them. Leaving. In the mornings. They’re all sort of—” The gesture again, broader, taking in shoulders that were not his. “They all kind of look like they could beat me up, is what I’m saying. Which, honestly, most people could. But specifically.” And then, because Whitaker had never in his life successfully stopped a sentence before it got to the bad part: “That’s why I was so surprised. When I figured out about you two. Not that—I think it’s great, I think you’re great, it was just, from the outside, from a purely, you know, visual—”
