    Summary

    “You were testing us. Testing me.”

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    Jack leans forward on the small table and Mohan leans back, but her mouth is quivering. “Did we pass your test, Doctor Mohan?”

    The smirk breaks through, a dimple emerging on her cheek and - oh, that’s disorienting. Jack collects himself while she glances at her phone. “Under ten minutes. Not bad.”

    “Usually my clients aren’t actively avoiding me, so you’ll have to forgive me the oversight this time.” He takes her soda and sips idly from the same straw.

    Her lips grow into something wider, wilder. “Guess you’ll have to do better next time, Mr. Abbot.”

    Summary

    Abbot is all restraint, all talk and no bite. Samira knows he's been flirting with her, because she'd discovered weeks ago she's been flirting right back.

    And if you think about it -

    Eight months is a long time with just her fingers.

    "Jack." Samira says and the reaction it elicits immediately sets her heart pounding. Dr. Abbot - Jack - inhales sharply, eyes widening. He takes a step forward, pure instinct driven, before stopping himself. And, oh. There's a power that she suddenly feels, coursing through her veins and setting her blood on fire.

    "Walk me home?"

    Summary

    When Collins pulls Mohan to the side and warns her about her new relationship with Jack, Samira tries to brush it off...mostly because there is no relationship between her and Dr. Abbot? It's strictly professional...she thinks. Sort of. Maybe not.

    ❍❍❍

    “I‒I didn’t reject you,” She forces out. She watches as the words sink in, his eyes trained on her, probably feeling a number of things but conveying none of it. Then he takes a deep breath and she swallows hard. Finally, he turns away from the edge of the roof to face her completely.

    “Are you only saying that because you think I’m gonna jump or…?”

    She blinks, surprised. In all honesty, she’d kind of forgotten about that part.

    Summary

    His strides quickened, closing the twenty or so feet that separated them. His uneven gait rang through the parking garage. She’d only seen his prosthetic leg once, but she felt almost hyper-aware of it now. Behind him, the sun was almost entirely hidden beneath the skyline, only a few beams of orange light made their way around the horizon. “What the hell are you doing here?” Abbott asked. He nodded for her to continue walking

    “A physician walking into a hospital just before shift change,” She watched as a grin spread across his face. “It’s a riddle no one has been able to crack.”

    “You’re finally working nights?”

    “I switched with Ellis,” She said. “So, you’re stuck with me for the next three days.” Her steps faltered. “Finally?”

    “Are you serious? I’ve been trying to poach you from day shift since PittFest.”

    “Really?”

    “Really.” His response was almost instant. “You were incredible. The IO borehole, the pigtail catheter; I’m going to be talking about that for the rest of my life. Of course I want you for night shift.”

    -------------

    The year it takes Samira and Jack to find one another.
