    Summary

    He wants to say that it’s a mistake, or that they’ll get the annulment as soon as the plane hits the tarmac. That he will literally send a carrier pigeon to end this. Unfortunately, he can’t find those words in his vocabulary.

    Or

    Samira and Jack accidentally get married in Vegas while at a conference.

    Summary

    When he looked back at Samira, the warmth was gone. She had one eyebrow raised, arms crossed over her chest, and an expression of absolute disappointment.

    "That truck is yours?" she asked, pointing to the vehicle parked right in the blue stall.

    "Yes, it's mine, I—" Jack started to say, but Samira didn't let him finish.

    "What a shame, Jack," she said, her voice now cold and sharp. "I was actually thinking about giving you my number. You're handsome, you seem kind, but I can't stand idiots who park in disabled spots just because they’re in a hurry or too lazy to walk ten more yards. It’s a total lack of respect for those who actually need them."

    Jack opened his mouth to explain that he was one of those people, but Samira's indignation was a force of nature. Without letting him get a word out, she climbed into her car and slammed the door shut.

    Summary

    “It’s weird, not having Robby here,” Mel is saying, dragging Samira back into the conversation between the residents. “And Dr Al-Hashimi hasn't shown up either.” That is strange, Samira thinks absently. Dr Bryan is back from semi-retirement to cover as attending, but the absence is noticeable. “I'm sure we can figure out how to be good teachers, but it’s a little harder when you don't have your mentor to help."

    “I don’t know,” Samira mutters before she can stop herself, still staring at Dr Abbot’s letter on her screen. “Just do the opposite of whatever Robby would do.”

    It’s only in the expanding silence afterward that Samira realizes she has said that it out loud.

     

    In the wreckage left after the 4th of July shift, Samira starts gathering the shattered pieces of her life. The question now is in what order does she want to put them together.

    Summary

    Samira needs a fake boyfriend for her cousin's wedding. Jack volunteers. The only problem is that he's the one person she's wants something real with.

    --

    “I’ll go with you,” he says, in the same low tone she’s heard once before. In an empty exam room last month when he said, I’ll pay for it, like it was the easiest thing in the world. Like it’s easy now to offer this.

    Samira gapes at him. “Wait, what?” 

    “The wedding. I could be your plus one or fake date or whatever. If you want.” He adjusts the straps on his go-bag but never looks away from her eyes.

    “You would do that for me?”

    Abbot shrugs. “My therapist says I need to get out more."
