    Summary

    Samira looks at Robby and sees a father figure. Robby looks at her and sees himself. Jack Abbot sees them both so clearly.

    --

    She can hear her college roommate’s voice in her head. “That sounds like a textbook case of daddy issues.” Which isn’t entirely wrong. Like many young women with unresolved father-shaped wounds, she has a tendency to imprint onto older men.

    It would be less weird if Samira wanted to fuck Robby. 

    What she wants is so much worse.

    And yet it feels just as inappropriate to imagine. He’s her boss. Her abandonment issues and aching loneliness should be checked at the door when she walks into work because she’s twenty-seven years old and this is a fucking emergency room. 

    And yet. It doesn’t stop her from wanting.

    Day 2: Yearning

    Goodbyes.


    “How dare you?!” She pushes past him, shoulder brushing his chest, storming into the house like she owns the air inside it.

    “I’m sorry.” Is all he has to say.

    “You have the nerve to not say anything. For years! Then two days before I get on a plane... you slip a note in my locker? And then you—” her voice cracks around the edges, “—and then you leave before I could even see you. Before I can even talk to you about it.” 

    Jack closes the door quietly, almost gently, as if any sudden movement might set her off further. He stays near it, hands in his pockets, watching her pace tight circles across the foyer tile.

    “That was the goal,” he says, barely above a murmur.

     

     

    Two days before Samira boards a plane to California, she finds a note in her locker.

    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

    “Samira,” Trinity steps forward, leans over Samira’s computer monitor. “You eloped with Doctor Abbot and no one knew you knew you had feelings for him-”

    Why do people keep saying that?”

    -
    Or: Samira had a plan to reveal to the ED that she and Jack eloped this week, but Brian Donnelley from HR had to go and screw it all up.
