Summary
Samira knows there are apps to make this kind of thing easier, but she prefers going about it this way. Something about the spontaneity, the idea of leaving it up to fate, makes her feel less guilty about it. She imagines herself filling out an intake form - unhealthy coping mechanisms, check. High risk behavior, check.
or maybe:
Samira has unhealthy coping mechanisms. Jack helps her through it.

Summary
There’s the sound of footsteps and the snap of twigs under feet, and Henry only just barely grabs for his shirt to cover himself from the waist down.
“Oh, fuck me,” a man says, looking Henry and Langdon up and down, then going wide eyed. “Shit. I’m sorry.”
Henry, not quite enjoying having a sexual encounter interrupted ever, and certainly not by some boy he’s never seen before, feels his expression turn cross.
“Are you lost?”

“Sometimes I talk to Robby, and I understand him more than I understand myself,” Samira said.
She felt Jack nod. “That doesn’t surprise me,” he said, his voice muffled against her shirt.
“And then sometimes I don’t.”
“That doesn’t surprise me either.” Samira could tell he was smiling. “You two are a lot alike.”
“Is that why you’re with me?” she asked.

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.
