Summary
Samira Mohan is not someone well acquainted with the feeling of being in love. Everything she had done, from ages 13 to 32, was about becoming a doctor. All else failed to exist, blighted out by the drive of finding her one true purpose in the wake of losing her father, and yet she still planned for it. Still planned for butterflies and rings and that inexorable feeling people get when they’re fully understood for the first time.
Love would come later. It would have to. Come hell or high water, she was going to be the kind of doctor her father never had, one that took the time, one that was careful and thorough and compassionate, still. She dated, sure, but only in undergrad. She pushed it all aside, buried the parts of herself that yearned and wanted, because she had to stick to the plan.
The plan was, as it turns out, a complete crock of shit. In swept Jack Abbot - night shift attending, active suicide risk, most competent man this side of the Mississippi - and the whole board untipped itself, rapidly unspooled like yarn being chased by a kitten.

Summary
“Long time no see.” He can hear the misplaced anger steeped in every word.
Jack, for his part, doesn’t seem to notice. Although maybe it’s more apt to say that he doesn’t care. Not anymore.
He’s greyer, new smile lines beside his eyes, an ease to him that Robby cannot remember seeing in years - or maybe ever. He has to cut his eyes away when Jack starts to speak. “Well, brother, that’s what happens when people accept it when you say you don’t want help.”

It’s been five years since Jack Abbot left Pittsburgh. A lot has changed.
