    Summary

    "You know what your problem is?" He steps closer, close enough that she has to tilt her head back to meet his eyes. "You're so afraid of feeling something that you'd rather feel nothing at all. You'd rather be miserable and 'serene' than happy and—"

    "Than what? What's the alternative? Let myself care about you and then watch it destroy everything I've built?"

    "Who says it has to destroy anything?"

    "History. Experience. Every Jedi who's ever fallen because they couldn't control their attachments."

    "Or maybe they fell because their Order made them so afraid of attachment that they never learned how to handle it. Maybe if someone had just let them feel—"

    Samira is a Jedi Knight who knows her Code by heart. Jack is the smuggler who makes her want to forget it entirely.

    Summary

    Life has occasioned to kick Jack Abbot in the teeth more times than he can count. More times than he has fingers, more times than the five toes he lost or the five toes he still has. He keeps this in mind when Samira Mohan emails him asking permission to submit the article they co-authored two summers ago, Efficacy and Complications of Intracardiac Pigtail Catheterization in the Emergency Room Setting, to present at a conference in Philadelphia.

    He has not seen her for almost two years. It took six months for him to get her new phone number, and another six months after that to convince her that he really meant it when he said that he wanted to keep in touch.

    Summary

    She’s stood at this bus stop every morning for nearly four years and never noticed this coffee shop once. Maybe it’s new. Or maybe she’s been so wrapped up in her routine that she never stopped to look up.

    or

    Samira misses her bus and stumbles across a coffee shop in her neighborhood.

    Summary

    His face comes into focus then: hazel eyes watching her with an expression she doesn’t recognize, grey hair damp and curling.

    “That’s it,” he says. “You with me?”

    She nods, the movement slightly hindered by the hand still cupping her face. He leaves it there as he slides the other up to press two fingers to her carotid. She’s watched him perform miracles with these hands—has seen him blind cric a patient without an ounce of hesitation—but she realizes now that he is shaking.

    ---

    Or: Samira gets the happy ending she deserves.
