Summary
Samira hugged her knees to her chest and looked over at him. “You really don’t have to stay here with me. I’m sure the power will come back eventually.”
There was no reason for him to spend his night sitting on a resident’s living-room floor when he could be home in his own bed. What exactly was she supposed to offer as entertainment, anyway? A list of the hospitals she’d applied to for a fellowship? An enthusiastic discussion of her latest medical journal? She was a terrible hostess. Her amma would be disappointed.
“I don’t mind staying,” Jack said, as though he’d somehow followed the entire detour her thoughts had taken. “I’d rather not leave you here by yourself until the weather settles down.”

Summary
Jack’s finalizing handover with Robby at the hub when the call goes off. As with everything in the ED, signs of distress are met with a calm focus that lends itself to years of experience. The room doesn’t flinch. Jack looks at Dana, who casually looks up at the board and shoves her pen into her scrub pocket.
“I thought Mohan took Central 9.”
What follows is a chain reaction of events.
There’s a cry for help. It’s more like a scream and the sound of it is shocking enough to break through the controlled chaos of the department, because it’s not one of pain or grief; it’s terror. It makes the hair on Jack’s neck stand up as he jerks his head towards it, a hard feat for a man who has witnessed some of the worst things a person could imagine and lived with the PTSD of it. In that second, everything splinters. Jack’s feet are already moving towards Central 9, Robby and Langdon sprinting close behind. He spots Ahmad, running at speed across the corridor, and it’s the adrenaline that helps block the pain signals to his brain where his prosthesis meets his limb as his feet pound the floor.

Summary
“I don’t want to go home,” Samira says quietly.
Jack’s expression softens. “A meal then. Or at least a drink. Something to wind you down.”
She studies him for a long while, too emotionally wiped for propriety as she takes him in, and he lets her, patient as ever. Waits her out in the way that only he knows how.
Sure enough: “I could go for a drink.”
“Lefty’s?”
“Your place?” she counters demurely.
—
It’s been a long couple of days and Samira needs a drink.

Summary
“Did you consider it?” Jack asked when her alarm rang that day.
“Yes,” she mumbled. Then, a little louder, “Do you actually want to do it? I’m afraid I’ll be a nightmare. The Menopur hurts like shit.”
“I actually want to do it,” he nodded, a sure look on his face. “Anything—I mean, yeah, I’ll do it. I want to help.”
Samira patted her knees a few times. Her palms were sweating.
“Fine.”
***
Or: Samira is in the process of freezing her eggs when an incident at the hospital makes her go into quarantine with her attending/friend. Surely, it’s not a big deal, right?
