Summary
New Year’s Eve, 1999. Jack Abbot, MS3, has an itch he can’t scratch well enough just under his right knee, a wife he loves reveling and drinking with their friends, and a beautiful problem in South 16.
February 6, 2018. Jack Abbot, night shift attending, has a carbon fiber prosthesis courtesy of an IED, half a mind to walk off the roof’s edge at the end of his shift on the off chance he can see his wife's ghost, and a beautiful problem standing at the hub with her back to him.

Summary
In the Pitt, a hundred seconds pass in the blink of an eye.
On Samira’s doorstep, where Jack Abbot now stands — slightly winded, skin pink with a barely-there sheen of sweat, hazel eyes more brown than green under the stark hall lighting, posture rigid — each second flashes by as a series of loosely sketched frames. She thinks back to the shitty little flip book she’d made in her art elective her sophomore year of high school: a figure shrinking with every page as it walks away.
There’s a figure at her door, and the seconds dissolve into frames again.

Summary
They had an unspoken agreement: no exchanging contact information, no planning meetups in advance, no actively seeking each other out. But Caitlyn was now learning that her resolve was a fragile thing when it came to Vi, and she deviated from their unofficial arrangement with a preternatural ease. There was no waking Vi, whose soft, unguarded expression increasingly tugged at Caitlyn’s heart with every quiet snore.
Caitlyn tore a sheet from the hotel notepad and wrote, “Figured it was my turn,” with her number just below it and left it folded on Vi’s nightstand before she made her quiet exit. It was like Vi had said before they’d even met, even if she didn’t quite mean it this way – everyone deserves a note.

Summary
In devoting herself to her work the last three days, Caitlyn missed out on the usual activities she enjoyed on their annual venture to the beach house — she sorely missed kayaking out to see the coral reefs — not to mention the great weather and gorgeous sights. She would’ve felt sorrier about it, but it was hard to feel remorse or anything other than tantalizing want when her favorite view was unfolding right before her.

Summary
The wink, the teasingly cocky attitude, the fact that she caught Caitlyn off guard and made her stutter — with anyone else, these were all valid enough reasons for Caitlyn to cut things off here and leave no chance for a second date. But this was Vi, who she’d only just met and who already felt different. Caitlyn reasoned that she at least owed it to herself to figure out why.
After a blind date gone wrong, Caitlyn's skeptical of Vi, a contractor that Jayce set her up with. Vi proves her doubts wrong, but Caitlyn can't quite put her finger on how or why.

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
They’ve been calling each other the stupid nicknames since their time in the VA when an older Vet with a gnarly leg lac from a fishing hook thought Samira and he were together.
Jack was hunched over, suturing, and she wandered in to watch him. She criticized a stitch he made, pointing out he placed it a little too close, leaning in over his shoulder. She stayed there watching him fix it.
“I envy you two,” Mr Kennedy said as Samira was about to pull the curtain back to leave, a smug smile on her face after she had bumped Jack’s shoulder with her own for doing a good job. Mr. Kennedy was smiling at them, a little twinkle from the fluorescents in his eyes. “Young love is such a precious thing.”

Summary
She can still feel the phantom pressure of his hands in her hair from five minutes ago when he had her pressed against the side of his car and there's something in the way Jack's thumb is steadily stroking her hand that makes her think that this might be it. She's not sure if Jack can read the breadth of her excitement off her face and wonders if he has any idea how wet she is. There's a dark look in his eyes when she looks back at him over her shoulder that makes her think he sees at least part of it.

Summary
Jack didn’t go in much for praying anymore. No point, not when nobody upstairs seemed to give a shit either way. Praying was for altar boys and little kids and people who wanted their football team to win the Superbowl; for parents in his ER who refused medical care for their dying children in favor of speaking in tongues and yelling up the ladder to something that didn’t answer. Not for him. He believed in only a few things, and none of those were anything big enough to pray to.
Well, almost none. There’d been one thing. A person, really. Bigger than a person, though. More like a grand, orchestral concept, a hope half-divine, fifty-two percent of the reason he kept showing up to work for four years straight.
