Summary
"Jack," she drawls, reaching her slender fingers out to tilt his chin, guiding their gazes back together. He succumbs to the touch, unable to deny the magnetism of her tone, of the ardent, vast brown of her eyes.
"Gonna need you to pinch me," he mumbles then, the words tumbling from his lips. Because not only is she impossibly beautiful and invitingly bare, but her spine is relaxed, her legs draped lazily and her tone is light. Maybe its the sleep still bleeding from her system, but Jack feels something primordial at seeing her so at ease, teasing him with single syllables, and knowing, truly knowing, that she can do, and have, and be whatever she wants. It's a privilege to bear witness to, moreso because she so rarely allows herself this.

Summary
Samira had come across an abstract in medical school of a researcher studying the weight of a gaze. Is it possible to feel a tiny, fractional shift in gravity when someone’s eyes are on you? What about a dozen? A hundred? A thousand?
She couldn’t remember the paper’s conclusion, only that the premise was interesting but the methodology was flawed.
She could confirm now, walking into Robby’s New Year’s Eve party with her hand in Jack’s, that gazes held weight.

Summary
At some point, around three years after Jen’s passing, he comes across an online article about widowers. He knows he shouldn’t click it, knows that nothing good comes out of giving way to the masochistic part of yourself that wants to know every gory statistic.
He clicks it anyway. Reads that widowers live approximately 9.5 years after the death of their spouse. After that, the days he’d previously counted to know how long he’d lived without her turn into a countdown to the exact moment he knows he should die.
