    Summary

    Our little secret.

    She expects it to be like most other things with Dr. Jack Abbot: a passing comment, a breath of exhilaration, a moment of feeling seen—really seen—before she washes it off in the shower with the lingering sweat and smell of antiseptic.

    Until. Until a day or a week or a month passes, and she realizes it's hovering at her periphery, and she will wonder when it turned from nothing into something.

    Section D: Conflict of Interest Assessment
    Are both parties regularly scheduled on the same shift? ☐ Yes ☐ No
    Do both parties work in the same department/unit? ☐ Yes ☐ No
    Proposed mitigation measures (if applicable): _________________

    They check yes on both boxes with a shared look, and then they peer at the third line.

    “I’ll stare at you less,” Jack says. “Promise.”

    A laugh bubbles out of her unbidden. “No you won’t.”

    “No, I won’t,” he agrees. “But we can tell them that I will.”

    Samira and Jack decide it's time to make their relationship HR-official. HR has other ideas.

    Summary

    The soulmate marks hurt, is the thing.

    People without marks cling to that: “it hurts, it always hurts, I’m lucky to be free from the pain, actually,” they say. “I don’t want a mark.” No one believes them, of course. But everyone nods: it does hurt. The rest they’ll allow out of courtesy.

    -

    Jack lost his mark years ago. He doesn't expect a second one.

    Summary

    “Canwejustpretend?”

    The words rushed out of her before she could stop them. She squeezed her eyes shut, hoping that if she waited long enough Jack would just get up and leave without saying anything more.

    But of course, Jack Abbot wouldn’t leave her.

    “Samira,” he said with all the patience he showed little kids in the ED, “can you say that one more time for me?”

    She raised her gaze to look at him, only to find that he was looking at her first.

    or: samira has a breakdown at work, jack takes her home and takes care of it
