Summary
If she were normal, and well-adjusted, and had done this — whatever this was — more recently than medical school, Samira would simply text him. But she isn’t, and has no idea what she’d even say anyway, so she finds herself at a boxing club south of the river instead, her impulsive search query of “Jack Abbot + boxing + Pittsburgh” still open in a Safari tab on her phone.

Summary
Samira isn’t quite sure what to expect when she arrives at the restaurant on the ground floor of Jack’s hotel.
There’s no question: the two of them are close, enough so that when she hears through the grapevine (read: Parker Ellis) that he’s been incrementally transferring his PTO to the residents, she tells him he should save some and visit her.
Enough so that he books the trip immediately.

Summary
It’s just a brush of her lips against his cheek, not unlike the painting in front of them; and maybe it’s because of this similarity, or maybe it’s because of something else entirely, but when she pulls away with a demure, “Good night, Jack. Thanks for everything,” he reaches for her instinctively, his hand catching her wrist.
—
Jack and Samira's first kiss.

Summary
It’s not that Samira doesn’t hear Jack when he comes in. She does: the muted jangle of his keys, the snick of the door closing. She’s just halfway in his fridge, is all, blearily rooting around for Greek yogurt and berries she hopes against hope haven’t begun to fuzz, so it isn’t until he greets her with “well, aren’t you up early,” that she turns and realizes he isn’t alone.
“Is that Baby Jane Doe?”

Jack brings a special visitor home for the day. Musings on parenthood ensue.

Summary
Not even a full month in, her therapist had echoed Cassie’s words from what felt like a lifetime ago, telling Samira she needed balance, and community, and wells of social and emotional fulfillment that weren’t her work, and it’s hard not to feel like she’s turned her back on her best shot at all of it. At something more, too, if she’d read things between her and Jack correctly.
But that was precisely the issue, wasn’t it: that she was, in all likelihood, illiterate; and worse, scared of diving in and taking the risk. Even the swans here in the Public Garden came as a pair, dubbed Romeo and Juliet. Ill-fated, perhaps, but at least they had each other.

Summary
He’ll wait as long as he needs to for her to realize he’d do anything for her. Pull down a piece of fruit from any tree. Pluck any star from the sky. Would go to the moon and back—no, 1,500 times that distance, to Jupiter—if it meant finding her there, or fulfilling some need or want of hers on the journey.

A slice-of-life look at Jack and Samira on a weekend away.

Summary
"You deny yourself what you want because others have told you that's virtuous," Jack told her the first time he got her into bed with him. "But you're hungry, aren't you?" Kissed her then, hot and open-mouthed, and swallowed her pent-up, juddering sigh. "Yeah, you're hungry. For knowledge. Justice. Connection. There's nothing wrong with wanting that hunger sated, honey. Let me show you."
—
An exploration of Samira Mohan's relationship to want.

Summary
This city. God, this fucking city, with all its beauty and grime. Rilke wrote, You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing, and for four such years, Samira went. In a few days, she’ll go again. In a few days, she’ll leave Pennsylvania remarkably changed from the person she was when she first landed at Pittsburgh International Airport, though this time, she won’t be stepping into the next phase of her life alone.

Summary
Only a year into her CDC fellowship and she was already all too used to introducing herself on the defensive: either for her age, or, depending on where she was responding, for her race; and if for neither of those, then due to fomenting distrust in the Center’s work in the wake of the pandemic.
But Jack Abbot had simply responded to her rattled-off credentials with a low, impressed hum, then by pulling her into conversation about disaster medicine as if they’d been peers, equals, in the field forever.
(There was also the matter of the cowboy hat. She’d always found them to be a touch ridiculous, but on him—well.
She sees the appeal.)

Summary
"Gimme a fist."
Robby dutifully obeys. Watches with widening pupils as Jack traces the veins that are now plumper in his arm. Like they've been taught, Jack palpates the vein with two fingers, a slow roll. He's done the same with other veins on Robby's body, speed-running their first-year anatomy curriculum. Great saphenous: the interior of his thigh. Deep dorsal: down the length of his cock. He feels a throb at the memory, and Jack looks at him with that unwavering stare of his like he knows.

Summary
It’s one thing to step into spaces that existed before her and will, therefore, exist after her, too. If need be, Samira can rewrite the story at the end: a pilgrim, just passing through.
It’s another thing entirely, with real significance and stakes, to build something new with someone. She’s rarely ever had the impulse, was never really one to pass time daydreaming about what her wedding dress might look like, or her car, or her house. Her classmates always seemed to have skin in the game when they played M.A.S.H. in between bells or at the lunch table, but not Samira.
There’s something about Jack, though. With him, she’s able to picture so clearly what their home—their future—might look like. With him it’s easy, textured technicolor.

Jack and Samira move in together.

Summary
When Emma Nolan walks into the emergency department of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center for her first shift as an RN, she has a pretty good idea of what to expect. Having her bisexual awakening in a changing room that the colleague precipitating said awakening has just vacated is nowhere on the list.
