    Summary

    “He's probably one of those men who’s obsessed with their wives,” her friend had said sagely.

    Twist of the wrist. Her wound jagged now. Harder to stitch back together. It was all so stupid. She asked Mandy to tell her that. Get it in my head that I’m being so fucking stupid.

    “Show me a picture?” Mandy had asked instead. So Samira did. A goddamn screenshot she took from his public Facebook profile picture, because of course that was the only place she could find a picture of him. But he wasn’t holding a fish in it or anything. It was, inexplicably, an artsy affair clearly captured on real film, no filter. He was sitting forward in a chair below a gallery wall of oil paintings, a trailing plant a paid actor rounding out the top right corner. His elbows were on his knees, flash illuminating his eyes, throwing the corded muscles of his forearms in shadow as he clasped his hands just in front of his chin. Candid and casual. At fucking ease, with his stark wedding ring in center frame.

    Oh shit, oh shit, her friend had texted back. I’m sorry, that’s devastating.

    Abbot's married. Extremely married. Samira gets through it.

    Summary

    That’s his bright spot, though—the thing he clings to on his first day, then continues to hold onto tightly thereafter: Mel.

    Where he had felt out of step with everyone else, he and her were right on beat together, dancing around the ED, just as they had on her first day. He had been shocked how easily they picked up where they’d left off. There was no wariness towards him, no undercurrent of judgement, no hesitation to let him treat a patient. She didn’t hold him back, she pushed him forward. It was what he needed more than anything.

    OR: The only thing that really makes Frank feel good about being back at the Pitt is Mel. He holds on tight to her, even when other men in the ED seem to want her too.
