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.

Summary
More than one reasonably good-looking man had approached her, offering to buy her a drink and trying to discuss the presentation she'd given on social determinants of health.

Summary
In the thirteenth hour of her shift on the fourth of July, Samira steps out into the ambulance bay. Abbot follows her.
--
Two hours ago she was desperate to find him and now he’s one of the last people she wants to see. She looks over her shoulder, unable to help the way she glares at him. “Are you also going to tell me I don’t belong here?” she asks.
Abbot doesn’t even blink at her tone, just cranes his neck to look at her closer. His eyebrows furrow. “Did someone say that to you?”
