    Summary

    Pope holds out his hand to her. In his palm is a bolt, stainless steel, hexagonal head. Anodized a warm, dark brown, made to match the safe it was attached to.

    She takes it and turns it over, brow furrowed. "What is this?"

    "A bolt."

    "I can— I can see that much. Why are you giving me a bolt?"

    He likes how it looks in her hand. "It’s the same color as your eyes."

    Pope Cody likes Samira Mohan very much and is going to do some breaking and entering about it.

    Summary

    "You nervous?" Dr. Ellis' voice jerks her from her musings, that signature smirk working its way onto her face. Samira swallows at the way it tugs the corner of her lips up, the way her perfect, white teeth gleam in the dim lights.

    "No." Samira says, sitting up straight. "Why would I be nervous, Dr. Ellis?"

    ***
    or, Samira Mohan makes a proposition. Parker Ellis accepts.

    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.

    Samira adds a new frequent flyer to her rotation.

    Summary

    She pulls gently until his bound hands are raised above him.

    He knows this position. He learned it years ago in another church in another life but he remembers: knees on the wood, hands together, head bowed. Mouth open to receive. The memory is muscle-deep; the only thing that has changed is what he kneels for.

    Pope shows Samira how he feels through prayer.
