Samira may be speedrunning the whole trying-to-get-a-life thing that Cassie had suggested to her.
But she’s been feeling desperate, grasping, wanting to sink her hands into everything, try everything.
She’s been saying yes, and yes, and yes to everything that comes her way.
Samira’s always been a bit of an overachiever, after all.

Summary
“So–” Dennis starts, and Trinity honestly isn’t sure how she’s going to explain this one.
“I know it’s weird,” she says, gripping the steering wheel.
“I mean, it’s not that weird,” Dennis placates.
“He’s kind of a trainwreck,” Trinity defends, and then feels some type of way about the fact that she’s defending Langdon.
Dennis doesn’t disagree.
She promises him, “It’s only temporary.”
(Langdon's wife kicks him out. Trinity offers up her couch. She ends up learning a few things about her sworn enemy in the process.)

“You’re the smartest person I know in every room—but if you think I’ll have to pretend to have feelings for you, pretend like I’m fucking thrilled you chose me, then I will get on my knees right now and remind you that pretending is not necessary.”
Her stomach bottoms out, lips parting as his words sink in. Heat spreads through her body as her eyes flicker between his eyes and lips, voice light in a daze when she murmurs, “That’s not a bad idea.”
The corner of Jack’s mouth curves up. “Your mom’s right outside.”
//
or, Samira and Jack don't have a moment to enjoy their morning after when her mother shows up unannounced.

Summary
Dennis thought it might just be one last pep talk, a little reassurance before Robby disappears off the face of the earth for the next three months. Instead, Robby said, and now repeats, “I need you to keep an eye on Dr. Abbot for me.”
Dennis points a finger at his chest, eyes doubling in size. “Me? You want me to… why?”
Or...
After the Fourth of July shift from hell, Robby assigns Dennis one last task before leaving on sabbatical: keep an eye on Jack Abbot. What starts as a favour to Robby very quickly develops into an unlikely friendship between the night shift attending and PTMC's newest intern. But what happens when the pair both start catching feelings? Is Jack ready to move on from his late wife? Is Dennis prepared for what all a relationship with Jack would entail?
Well, they have three months to figure it out.
