Summary
Jack places a firm hand on the back of her head so she won’t look away for these next few words he’d like her to hear. “Samira, your father lives within you, not only in your medical life. He is here every single day. I can feel that in the way you speak of him. I see it in the way you care for your patients, and the way you cared for me and helped me.”
“I don't know how to do this job without him.” Her diaphragm expands rapidly as the confession falls from her lips.
“That’s a self-made battle fueled by years of grief you’re trying to win, Samira. Breathe.” She takes in a lungful of air, and Jack nods approvingly. “Now, what do you want? There's a whole world out there that would be lucky to have you.”
She holds back a sob in his arms. She takes another deep breath before looking down at her feet and whispering to the ground. “I want to be a great doctor without the emotional baggage.”
