Summary
Jack Abbot is two beers and a bourbon into the evening, pleasantly warm but not actually drunk. He thinks if he was drunk, he’d write this whole conversation off as an elaborate hallucination. Chucking a handful of mixed nuts into his mouth, he’s still not entirely sold on it not being some sex-deprived, testosterone-fueled fantasy his mind has cooked up after a full dose of trazodone.
Apparently, Samira Mohan is a virgin.
++
Samira doesn't want to finish out her residency still a virgin. She asks Jack Abbot to help. There are to be no feelings involved.

Summary
Samira Mohan knows she needs to get Jack Abbot through the last thirty minutes of their shift, and get him home. Ducking her head, she captures his gaze. Sees the way he’s gone pallid, almost gray, breathing hard. She has five minutes. Maybe ten. There’s a rescue dose of Ativan in her purse.

Summary
When he boards the elevator he’s upset. By the time he leaves the elevator he’s angry, each reverberation of his feet hitting asphalt felt in the remaining bones and surgical grade titanium in his right leg, all the way up to his hip. It takes him less than sixty seconds to walk from the parking deck to the ambulance bay. Ten feet from the entrance, he sees Robby walk through the first set of doors, past Ahmad, and then through the second set of doors. His pulse roars in his ears, his heart pounding in his chest. For the first time in years, Jack Abbot feels something approximating rage, an emotion he has long assumed to be medicated out of him.
His hands furl into fists.
++
Robby commits the critical error of making Samira cry. Jack reacts.

Summary
They fuck. He never lets her pay for takeout. They know each other’s locker codes. He knows her favorite candy bar. She knows he takes six sugars in his coffee, but would never admit it, even under the threat of torture. Someone would have to be torturing you, he quipped in reply. He drives her home at the end of doubles, sliding into bed next to her half the time. Sometimes they go to the movies. Sometimes she massages his leg when it’s sore to the point of muscle spasms. It’s been six months. They fuck, and they’re friendly, maybe even friends. But nothing more.
It is the most significant relationship of Samira Mohan’s adult life.

Summary
When Samira Mohan takes his hand at the end of Robby and Collins’ wedding, Jack Abbot is helpless. They’ve been in each other’s orbit all day as best man and bridesmaid. Since last night, at the rehearsal, then the rehearsal dinner. This morning, passing notes and presents between the bride and groom since sunrise. This afternoon, even as the photographer and coordinator forcibly adhered them to a tight schedule, shuttling them through wedding party portraits, the first look, more pictures. This evening, looking at each other from across the aisle during the ceremony, his eyes stumbling onto hers during his toast, the cake cutting, slow dances.
“Did you get a hotel room?” she asks.

Summary
All that to say, it was difficult for him to understand just how Samira Mohan seemed to sneak up on him. How she managed to take root in his life as if she’d been planted there beside him all along.
In hindsight, he could see that finding her red-eyed and flustered had been the beginning of something. He had, unthinkingly, taken the leap from professional to personal. Jack hadn’t seen it that way. His mental file on Samira Mohan was long; nowhere within it had he noted that she was the type to cry at work or leave early.
Jack was worried about her. So what?

Summary
Samira wakes up on her first day off in a week to an email from Jack in her inbox.
It’s a video. From the thumbnail, she knows that Jack finally got a chance to look at their message thread at the end of his own stressful and hectic shift, and went home to pour himself a drink. He hasn’t bothered to change out the thick black tee shirt that he owns at least ten of, made out of some kind of indestructible cotton blend fabric that stands up to blood and color safe bleach. His scruff is verging on a beard, his curls wild even though she can tell he’s just gotten a haircut.
The email has no subject, but in the body is simply: Be a good girl and make yourself come for me. Love you.

Summary
She’s drunk on the floor of Trinity and Whitaker’s living room, and they’re talking about nudes when she admits she’s taken them, but never built up the courage to send any. That it’s always felt awkward, that she’s never felt pretty or sexy or delicate enough, that it’s always felt cringe.
Trinity blinks at her in confusion. “But you’re hotter than the surface of the fucking sun. I’ve seen what’s under your scrubs, Samira. What do you fucking mean, not sexy enough?”
“Seriously, have you seen yourself?” Mel asks. “You could put anyone on their knees.”
++
Samira Mohan turns thirty, decides to buy herself lingerie about it, and takes some nudes. And then she accidentally texts one of them to Jack Abbot.

“What are you going to do?” Samira asks, breathless.
Dr. Abbot stares at her. “I’m not gonna do anything, Samira.”
A choice is made. It was always going to have to be hers, in the end.

Summary
"I think there's something wrong with me." It's a whisper dragged from Samira's lips, from the very depth of her.
"I think I might be a bad person." Chokes on it, on the pain, on the terrible truth, the indictment of her soul, of her morality, of her humanity. The evidence - plain and simple - that Samira Mohan was rotten to the core.

Summary
Samira Mohan makes lists; she makes plans; she has short, medium and long term goals; colour coded planners; countdown calendars; a goddamn vision board.
She does not follow handsome attendings out of bars into the snow.
She does not bite her lips bashfully when men call her beautiful.
Men do not call her beautiful.
She does not let them get close enough to say those words.

Summary
She has to say it. She has to say it, because the last time someone was rolled away from her on a gurney it was to the morgue. Brushing the pads of her thumbs over his cheekbones, Samira stoops until their foreheads touch, her lips ghosting over his.
“I love you,” she whispers, eyes wide open.
Jack’s mouth curves into a gentle smile.
“I know.”

At shift change, Jack is stabbed by a patient brought into the Pitt. Samira Mohan can only watch, and wait, and wait.

Most days, Jack can’t make sense of it—how he fell so deeply without even knowing.
But, well, one look at Samira and all it does is make sense.

Summary
“I’ll warn you, I’m a cuddler,” he says, flirting back. He reminds her of Hawkeye Pierce like this, hair threaded with silver and still somehow boyish. Passively suicidal, yet somehow the emergency department’s director of morale. “One time I had to share a bed with Robby in the world’s shittiest airport hotel before flying home from a conference, and he did not enjoy waking up to being spooned.”
Jack Abbot is the Pitt’s biggest flirt, and Samira knows better than to take it personally, six years into working here.

Summary
“You were testing us. Testing me.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Jack leans forward on the small table and Mohan leans back, but her mouth is quivering. “Did we pass your test, Doctor Mohan?”
The smirk breaks through, a dimple emerging on her cheek and - oh, that’s disorienting. Jack collects himself while she glances at her phone. “Under ten minutes. Not bad.”
“Usually my clients aren’t actively avoiding me, so you’ll have to forgive me the oversight this time.” He takes her soda and sips idly from the same straw.
Her lips grow into something wider, wilder. “Guess you’ll have to do better next time, Mr. Abbot.”

Summary
He closes the office door with a sharp exhale, clicks the lock, likes the way Samira stutters over her words as the sound echoes. Thinks he could listen to her talk every day. When he turns, Samira is watching him even as she continues speaking.
She's memorized her writing.
“Get on the desk, Samira.” Jack stands at the door, unbuttoning and beginning to roll up his sleeves.
“No.” Samira stares back, fire in her eyes.
