Summary
Hannah Wells knows what she's supposed to do in this situation. She's supposed to be brave. She's supposed to tell. But knowing and doing are two different things. Hannah doesn't tell anyone about what Delaney did that night at the party. She patches herself up as best she can and pines over Justin because he's safe: an impossible ideal without any chance of becoming a real relationship. So what happens when Garrett Graham careens into her life and she can't pretend she's okay anymore?
Garrett has always channelled his rage into playing hard. He doesn't need to talk to anyone when he can just tell the ice. But the possibility that he's like his dad in all the worst ways scares the shit out of him. So what happens when falling for Hannah Wells means he has to face his demons?

Summary
"Abbot." Nielsen grins. "That woman is way out of your league."
"No, I know." Jack can barely hear himself. "I just need to—"
The bar is twenty steps long, maybe, give or take, and he takes them without processing a single one. He is aware of the following things, and the following things only: his heart rate (fast), the number of people between him and the back corner (six: a duo and a group of four), his hands (numb), and the fact that Samira's hair is longer than it used to be (and soft, he can tell).

Samira and Jack reunite under a new moon.

Summary
"I don’t think I’m used to people touching me anymore.”
“I know what you mean,” she says. “Obviously, I’m touching people all the time but it’s… different, right? When it’s patients and their families?”
“Yeah.” He scrapes at the label on his beer bottle with the nail of his thumb.
“When I was in undergrad, I read this article about people needing… well, I guess it was women, but I’m not sure that matters… a certain number of non-sexual touches every day. It was mostly about mental health, but I think about it a lot.”
He thinks she’s probably thinking about her mental health a lot more lately than usual, too. “What’s the right number of touches?”
“Thirteen,” she says. Her voice sounding a little defeated. “Thirteen non-sexual touches every day. But not just any touch. It’s going to be purposeful touching. And it should be someone you’re close to. Family. A partner. Friends. Just brushing up against a stranger or shaking hands with a colleague isn’t enough to start the flow of dopamine and oxytocin.”
“Thirteen. That’s not so many.”

Summary
Contrary to popular belief, Samira Mohan does believe in love. Sure, she might be a cynic when it comes to matters of her own heart and prospects, but she knows love when she sees it. She felt it from her parents for thirteen golden years. Witnesses it now between patients and their families at their bedsides. She sees the absence of love, too. Her frequent flyers coming in for a check up and chat. Samira herself, getting older and lonelier with every passing year.
So yes, Samira Mohan believes in love. She just isn't so sure there is any love to be found for her.
OR: Samira gets the rom-com moment she deserves.

Summary
The call comes in the middle of the night.
And, in all honesty, Allie immediately expects the worst. It’s a childish habit. Like picking at scabs when you know that they'll only scar over. No matter how old she gets, she will always be that wide-eyed kid curled up in a plastic chair in her mom’s hospital room. Half asleep when the machine stops beeping.-/:/-
