Summary
“Do you know if he’s into younger girls?” one of them asks Samira. Everyone waits with bated breath, eyes wide like a pack of hungry lions. Samira resists the urge to scoff, something curling low in her stomach.
“He’s married,” Samira says, her voice coming out sharper than intended.
“And… working on Valentine’s Day?” Molly asks. “Doesn’t sound like a happy marriage to me.”

Summary
If she were normal, and well-adjusted, and had done this — whatever this was — more recently than medical school, Samira would simply text him. But she isn’t, and has no idea what she’d even say anyway, so she finds herself at a boxing club south of the river instead, her impulsive search query of “Jack Abbot + boxing + Pittsburgh” still open in a Safari tab on her phone.

Summary
He thinks of her often. Relentlessly. He can’t seem to think of anything else.
And that was the irony of it all; his life had narrowed in the past ten years into a pitiful existence. What else was there, besides her? She was everything. At work, at home, on the roof. She followed him, her presence haunting spaces she’d never even visited.

Summary
Jack was an excellent kisser.
He always kissed her like the entire room narrowed and her mouth is the only thing worth concentrating on. He knew where to touch her to draw little involuntary sounds out of her, knew to lick into her mouth and then ease away and make her chase. He would move to her throat, kissing the sensitive place beneath her jaw to let catch her breath and then return to her lips and do it all over again.

Summary
If Jack had to pick a single word to describe his first date with Samira Mohan, he thought he'd probably land on painful.
A number of things contributed to the feeling. For one, it was rare that Jack found himself laced into a pair of dress shoes. The last time he'd worn these particular wingtips had been his wife's funeral. In hindsight, a first date and that morbid attachment to them should have prompted him to purchase a new pair of shoes. The memory combined with the constriction of black patent leather suffocating his left foot made him feel almost grateful for the missing right one. The tie around his neck was no better. He knew he wasn't actually being asphyxiated but God, did it feel like it.
