Summary
Samira's feet pad across the cold floor as she makes her way back to bed, the room quieter now without the howling wind. Jack's arms snake around her waist, drawing her in closer, stealing Samira's heat but also giving her some of his. They lie there like that for a minute, her thumb tracing along his collarbone. "Morning," he smiles.
Samira smiles back. "Good morning."
***
Or, Samira comes the hardest she ever has in her life and Jack maybe wants to talk about it.

Summary
Shame washes her in dusky pink, hidden by the night sky, as her boss and her Hinge-find shake hands.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Jack."
"Likewise. How do you know Sam?" her date asks.
Jack throws her a look, bland and flat, and she doesn't know if she should laugh or die.
(or, three times jack crashes samira's date on accident + the one time it's on purpose)

Summary
“You must be the new owner,” he says as he makes his way to the bottom of the stairs, reaching out his hand for her to shake. “I’m Jack, the upstairs tenant.”
Jack.
Ms. Hobbs had always referred to the upstairs tenant as Jackie. Samira was expecting a young woman, a vague picture of someone sweet and serious from Ms. Hobb’s descriptions. Not this man with thighs the size of tree trunks, blinking up at her curiously as he waits for her to respond.

Summary
“He's probably one of those men who’s obsessed with their wives,” her friend had said sagely.
Twist of the wrist. Her wound jagged now. Harder to stitch back together. It was all so stupid. She asked Mandy to tell her that. Get it in my head that I’m being so fucking stupid.
“Show me a picture?” Mandy had asked instead. So Samira did. A goddamn screenshot she took from his public Facebook profile picture, because of course that was the only place she could find a picture of him. But he wasn’t holding a fish in it or anything. It was, inexplicably, an artsy affair clearly captured on real film, no filter. He was sitting forward in a chair below a gallery wall of oil paintings, a trailing plant a paid actor rounding out the top right corner. His elbows were on his knees, flash illuminating his eyes, throwing the corded muscles of his forearms in shadow as he clasped his hands just in front of his chin. Candid and casual. At fucking ease, with his stark wedding ring in center frame.
Oh shit, oh shit, her friend had texted back. I’m sorry, that’s devastating.
