    Summary

    Samira is nothing if not a realist. She can accept, without rancor, that her feelings are hers alone, that they are not reciprocated and never will be. He’s her attending, he’s eleven years older than her – and, most importantly, she is nowhere near the caliber of woman that he deserves.

    So she shouldn’t feel anything when he comes in one day, Al-Hashimi beside him, her hand resting on his back.

    Summary

    “I care about this conversation very much.” Samira tells him awkwardly, speaking low so no one else overhears them. Jack nods, like he expected as much. “But I’m catastrophizing this in my head already, so maybe you should leave and end it here and we’ll pick it back up when we’re not at work.”

    Samira can see the laugh Jack suppresses at her admission. The amusement he’s sourcing from her right now isn’t cruel or belittling, he’s just— he likes her, he likes her quirks and neuroses, he likes when she tells him to get lost while they’re at work, he likes when she’s honest with him about what she’s thinking and what she needs from him.

    She makes him happy, if she can believe it, by just being herself.

    “I look forward to when we’re not at work, Dr. Mohan.” Jack tells her with a barely there smirk, taking a step back from her and composing himself to leave her side.

    Summary

    Samira loves Jack Abbot, but she doesn't tell him.

    Not because she doesn't feel it, but because she knows, or at least is convinced, that he doesn't love her the same way.
    They've been together for months, but there's an absence that weighs more heavily on Samira than she admits: in all that time, Jack Abbot has never told her he loves her.

    And she learns to live with it. Or pretends to learn. She prefers having a part of him to having nothing at all.

    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.
