Summary
There was a taxonomy to attraction. Bodies were simple, even as brains could be complex.
Science did not cleanly explain why, some nights, with her fingers pressed inside herself, the memory came to her of Jack Abbot with a donation bag strapped to his calf while his fingers massaged a heart through an open chest wound and he looked to her. Science did not explain why the image reliably made the muscles of her core clench and flutter. And if psychology did, well, that wasn’t a path she was sure that she wanted to go down.
Jack invites Samira to donate blood with him. Samira contemplates the depths of her want.

Summary
It started the way it always did.
Well, that wasn’t entirely true, Samira corrected her own thoughts. The medium of her mother’s distracted disinterest had changed through the years.
Samira Mohan's parents' approaches to life have shaped her personal and professional choices. Jack Abbot consistently challenges her careful rules.

Summary
“How do you not have a date for this, anyway? You’re…”
He glanced back at her, eyebrows raised, not sure where she is going with this but hopeful. “Going to finish presenting your diagnosis, Dr. Mohan?”
“Never mind. The cockiness explains it.”
He gave her a crooked grin, “I asked my sister, but she said she’d rather be my patient.” He turned serious. They were on her block now. “I may have downplayed it. Didn’t want to spend this charming anniversary with someone who didn’t go through it. And didn’t want to drag someone who went through it to this dog and pony show.” He glanced sideways at her. “You were the first person I thought of. We worked together almost the whole night. You deserve this honor even if the wrong people are giving it in the wrong way. But just because you can handle one jackass-“ he gestured at himself, “doesn’t mean you want to be in a room with four hundred more.”
With Robby not exactly PR material, Dr. Jack Abbot finds himself the reluctant but compelling face of the hospital’s capital campaign in the wake of PittFest. As black tie events become an excuse to spend more time with a certain Dr. Samira Mohan, he wonders if the role doesn't have some benefits.

Summary
Samira, who was no stranger to Amma's deep obsession with love and marriage, had not thought about relationships since her last one broke down in college. She was too busy, after all, with residency and planning for a future fellowship god-knows-where, to get caught up in a whirlwind romance (or even a just-okay one). Men, though nice to look at and sometimes a much-needed distraction from medicine, were at the bottom of the totem pole of priorities.
Nevertheless, Amma was persistent. And Samira, who had tired of the same dead-end conversation being rehashed over and over again months ago, had done something terribly, awfully, stupid to shut her up.
She'd lied. It had seemed innocent enough at the time, a fib that no one would ever need to know about. Because Amma hated Pittsburgh, apparently, and had no plans of ever visiting her only daughter there. And Jack Abbot was single, which made it totally not crossing any lines, right?
Right?
OR
Samira gets caught in a lie when her mother becomes a patient at PTMC. The lie? That Dr. Jack Abbot is her boyfriend. And much to her surprise, Jack is willing to play along for a few days, as long as it helps keep her mother off her back.

Summary
“Look at him, Samira,” Jack says. The words seem lodged in his throat. He's forcing them out. “Sweetheart fucking face. And they were gonna kill him.”
He kisses the dog on the top of its head. And Samira usually finds that sort of behavior foreign and disgusting, but she puddles just a little more when she sees Jack Abbot do it.
“So you took a chance on him?” she says.
“What can I say?” Jack lifts the tags on his dog’s collar with a crook of his finger. Samira watches as they slide, metal on metal, identifying information, dents and dings—and she sees it, she aches as she sees it, that scrape of metal limbs and dog tags in gray matter memories. “I'm a sucker for lost fucking causes.”

Jack rescues a tripod dog with a history of violence. Samira learns what they each have in common.

Summary
“It’s weird, not having Robby here,” Mel is saying, dragging Samira back into the conversation between the residents. “And Dr Al-Hashimi hasn't shown up either.” That is strange, Samira thinks absently. Dr Bryan is back from semi-retirement to cover as attending, but the absence is noticeable. “I'm sure we can figure out how to be good teachers, but it’s a little harder when you don't have your mentor to help."
“I don’t know,” Samira mutters before she can stop herself, still staring at Dr Abbot’s letter on her screen. “Just do the opposite of whatever Robby would do.”
It’s only in the expanding silence afterward that Samira realizes she has said that it out loud.
In the wreckage left after the 4th of July shift, Samira starts gathering the shattered pieces of her life. The question now is in what order does she want to put them together.

Summary
Samira has long known that being friends with Robby is a character flaw. It had just never seemed so damning until now. It itched at her inion whenever Jack stared at her from across the ED. She pushed it away when he emailed case studies, because he was the only person not related to her who emailed her at all. She ignored it because she liked the way his callused hands brushed against the soft skin of her inner thighs and how his warm tongue felt heavy in her mouth. She craved the goosebump tingle that seemed to pulse at every nerve ending, at every millimeter of skin, whenever Jack’s attention focused solely on her at the end of a long day.
