    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.
