Summary
Samira,
I know you came here expecting a signature. I promise you’ll have it. All I ask is that you come back to South Sudan with me for one month. The clinic could use another physician and someone who knows the place as well as you do. If Patrick wants to tag along, tell him he’s welcome. The more volunteers the better. When we get home, I’ll sign every page and wish you both a lifetime of happiness. I mean that, even if it probably won’t look like it does.
Forever yours,
JackOr exes Doctors Without Borders Mohabbot

"Sometimes the grief —" She motions both hands in a wide cradle at her gut. "Feels like a stomach. And it's not hungry anymore, but it's not empty either. It's just been digesting for decades and nothing is moving, it's just simmering and building and it burns."
It takes a moment, but she steels herself enough to meet his eyes again.
She doesn't think she has any right to ask, but she's already cracked open — more than she's ever been with someone — so she does.
"Do you still feel that way?"

Summary
If she tugs at the panel and it doesn't budge, Samira will never think about Dr. Abbot in any way other than professional for the rest of her life. She will happily ask him for the letter of recommendation and move far away from here.
All of these things she swears she would have done if that silver key hadn't tumbled into her open, begging palm.

“When did you know? That you wanted me?”
Jack, for all his credit is unfazed by her question. It’s not the first time she’s asked him something so suddenly, so directly.

The bench scene. Not quite different but not quite the same.
