    Summary

    Samira has a five-year plan: finish her residency, complete a fellowship, and continue her research into racial disparities in the ER. She wants to become the kind of doctor who wouldn’t miss the warning signs of a heart attack in a man like her father.

    Samira and Jack have been seeing each other for almost a year, which is to say, they sleep together, know everything about one another, have keys to each other’s places, cook for each other, and Samira owns more of Jack’s clothes than her own.

    But they’re not in a relationship. Samira refuses to be the resident who fell in love with an attending, and she won’t let anything distract her from her work.

    There are no labels. It’s casual, it’s fun, it’s easy.

    Right?

    Summary

    The rule is that Amma must respect Samira's boundaries:
    - only interrupt work hours if there's an emergency
    - no more treating her like a child
    - stop meddling in her romantic life

    Or

    Samira has a bad date and Jack is there to save the night.

    There are worse things than a crush, Samira tells herself. Ischemic heart disease. Aquagenic urticaria. Hemiplegic migraines. Still—crushes are up there.

    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.
