    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.

    ---

    or, Jack wakes up a napping Samira.

    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.

    Summary

    Jack Abbot is two beers and a bourbon into the evening, pleasantly warm but not actually drunk. He thinks if he was drunk, he’d write this whole conversation off as an elaborate hallucination. Chucking a handful of mixed nuts into his mouth, he’s still not entirely sold on it not being some sex-deprived, testosterone-fueled fantasy his mind has cooked up after a full dose of trazodone.

    Apparently, Samira Mohan is a virgin.

    ++

    Samira doesn't want to finish out her residency still a virgin. She asks Jack Abbot to help. There are to be no feelings involved.

    Summary

    Jack has and will do anything for Samira Mohan. Has written her letters of recommendation for fellowships, and moved her permanently to the night shift to help boost her confidence after the hit it took that Fourth of July shift.

    He's also shoved any romantic thoughts deep, deep down so he can focus on being her mentor.

    But when Samira Mohan runs into his arms, literally, asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend to get some creep off her back, well... What else was Jack supposed to do?

    Summary

    “Robby force you to take a break?” he asks when she’s close enough to not have to yell.

    “Yeah.”

    “Me too,” he huffs. “Like he’s my superior or something. Asshole.”

    Samira laughs, bending down to put her coffee down, balancing her sandwich on the lid, and then leans her forearms on the railing, far enough away to still be able to look at the side of his face, but close enough that she feels a little more confident she’ll be able to do something if he… Well. “Should you be sitting over there?” she asks, staring at the slight slope of his nose, the shadow of his eyelashes across on the top of his freckled cheekbone.

    “Probably not,” he answers in a casual tone. “At least I’m sitting.”

    That doesn’t comfort her very much, but she figures there’s no point in fighting him on it, so she turns and sits down with her back against the warm metal, mirroring him. “You want half of my sandwich?” she offers, twisting her upper body to hold it out to him.
