    Summary

    After a few minutes of staring at the doorway where he’d previously been, Samira got up and figured, as a favor, she’d strip the bed for him and send everything down the laundry chute. As she was ripping the sheets from the bed, she heard something metal clatter onto the floor.

    She stopped, stepping back and surveying the linoleum for something shiny. There it was, a gleam of light just underneath the bed. She squatted down to pick it up.

    It was a ring. Plain silver. Samira recalled Abbot’s brief glance at his own hand. His left hand, where his ring finger sat empty.

    Samira was holding Dr. Abbot’s wedding ring.

    Beginning from the day of PittFest, Dr. Jack Abbot takes particular interest in Dr. Samira Mohan. Simultaneously, Samira must figure out where to go with her career and navigate her personal life. When Samira plans to leave the PTMC for her fellowship, Jack does everything to get her to stay. In the process, their relationship leaves the student-teacher realm and becomes something a lot more complicated.

    Summary

    The thing is, when Samira Mohan offered to be one of the people he checked in with before “getting some air,” he hadn’t intended to ever take her up on it. For so very many, very good reasons.

    A companion to Getting Some Air (https://archiveofourown.org/works/65978155/chapters/169994179), with corresponding chapters but from Jack's point of view.

    Summary

    There's this feeling in her chest, something heavy, yet hollow. Something that tells her she doesn't fit anymore - she used to, she knows that. She used to feel at home in this ER and with these people. But now, now there's a distance in the glances she gets, a quizzical judgement. Almost as if they're asking why she's still here.

    I don't know! She wants to scream at them. But I also don't know where else to go. She admits to herself quiety.

    It fills her brain with static and her body with discomfort.

    But it's funny. All of that stops.

    The noise. The frustration. The worry.

    It all stops when she looks at him.

    And he stands there, like a safe haven. The eye of the storm, nothing but pure calm laced into a prosthetic with salt and pepper hair.

    It calls to her like a lighthouse, beckoning her in with nowhere else to go.

    Summary

    “Go ahead, serve yourself, Mohan.” For whatever reason, the usage of her last name sort of jolts her. Like she almost forgot her place, that she may be in his home, eating his food, with his daughter, but he is still very much her attending. And, now, sort-of her boss.

    Jack Abbot needs someone to watch his kid while he's on the night-shift. Enter: Resident with crippling debt, Samira Mohan.
