    Summary

    “I totally understand,” Samira said as she tried to blink back her tears. “I just want you to know how thankful I am for you and everything you’ve done-”

    “Samira,” Robby cuts her off. “You didn’t get a day shift attending position. You got a night shift one. If you want it, it’s yours. It’ll probably be for at least a year before things start to move around enough for you to come back to day shift but if you want it’s yours.”

    “I want it,” Samira said with no hesitation. “I really, really want it.”

    Summary

    Samira Mohan was very good at compartmentalizing. She was also very good at not being chosen. Always second place, always close, but not quite. Salutatorian in high school, second chair in violin, below Langdon to Robby, and always an afterthought to her mother after her fathers death. Not being chosen by Abbot was just another thing to add to the list.

    Summary

    A loud buzzing sounds between her ears. It drowns out the ED, the commentary of the other nurses as Ahmad hits play on a video cued up from a local news’ YouTube channel that reads HOSTAGE SITUATION AT PITTSBURGH BANK in the lower chyron.

    The video shows a shaky camera zoomed way far in as, yeah, that’s definitely Jack, walking toward the front doors of a Philly First National branch with his hands held up in surrender.

    Or—

    Jack’s TEMS shift goes awry, and all Samira can do is wait.

    Summary

    Samira didn’t go out.

    She worked around 60 hours a week, came home and slept, or sat on her futon reading journals until the words swam and her eyes burned. JAMA. NEJM. Anything that kept her mind occupied long enough to feel useful.
    She told herself that it was enough.

    Lately, it hadn’t been.

    Her mind had developed an annoying habit of drifting, usually when she was trying to focus on something important.

    A line from a paper would blur, and she’d catch herself thinking about Jack. His gravelly voice, talking her through a procedure. The way he told her she’d done well, like it wasn’t just routine praise.

    It made no sense to her. She tried to frame it as admiration. But it lingered, unhelpful and intrusive, like a symptom she couldn’t quite name.

    So when Trinity texted drinks? followed by far too many emojis, Samira said yes before she could overthink it.

    Summary

    “What the hell are you doing here?” Abbot 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.
