    Summary

    “I’m making breakfast. How do you like your eggs?”

    “Oh,” she says, flustered again — god this girl is easy to work up — “you really don’t have to, Mr. — Dr. — Jack.”

    He cocks an eyebrow at her. “You’re a guest in my house Samira. I expect you to act like one, and that means eating breakfast when I offer.”

    Summary

    Samira's feet pad across the cold floor as she makes her way back to bed, the room quieter now without the howling wind. Jack's arms snake around her waist, drawing her in closer, stealing Samira's heat but also giving her some of his. They lie there like that for a minute, her thumb tracing along his collarbone. "Morning," he smiles.

    Samira smiles back. "Good morning."

    ***

    Or, Samira comes the hardest she ever has in her life and Jack maybe wants to talk about it.

    Summary

    “Work relaxes me, Mohan,” Abbot says, not quite chiding, his tone a shade warmer. He leans his hip against her workstation, ducking his head until she looks at him. “If I’m not at work, I’m trying to find a reason to come back to work. Let me read your article. I’ll be nice to you about it, not just because someone should, but because I can tell you without even reading it that it’s good.”

    “You cannot possibly know that,” Samira blurts out.

    He looks at her with an expression that’s stuck halfway between inquisitive and amused; the left side of his mouth threatens a smile. “Sure I can. I know you.”

    ++

    Abbot and Mohan flirt in the Google Doc comments of her unpublished article. Abbot takes it upon himself to instruct Mohan on how to accept praise.

    Summary

    It’s comical. Or, it would be comical if it wasn’t happening to him. Six months after Samira Mohan badged out of her final shift at the Pitt, it has become kind of, sort of comical that she will respond to everyone’s text messages and emails but Jack's own.

    Or, Samira Mohan has a history of reading relationships wrong.
