    Summary

    "I think there's something wrong with me." It's a whisper dragged from Samira's lips, from the very depth of her.

    "I think I might be a bad person." Chokes on it, on the pain, on the terrible truth, the indictment of her soul, of her morality, of her humanity. The evidence - plain and simple - that Samira Mohan was rotten to the core.

    Summary

    It’s one of those things—words, phrases, insults, sometimes even compliments—that sticks with Trinity, even though it shouldn’t. Lodges itself somewhere in the gaps of her ribcage, so with each step she can feel it there under skin, flesh and digging through bone. It grooves into the recesses of her mind, it gets caught in her throat, she can taste those words just on the tip of her tongue and she really fucking hates it.

    Much like everything else her stupid brain clings to (it’s a trauma response, she knows that, she’s a doctor, but calling her brain stupid is easier than really facing the problem) it sticks.

    Trouble, trouble, trouble.

    Or: Trinity Santos learns to let her guard down, just a little bit.

    Summary

    “Jack.” Her chest rises and falls with heavy, anticipatory breaths as she gives him the command, permission, request all rolled into one. “Kiss me.”

    He has always been a good listener, after all.

    Summary

    “You’re wearing…” Jack started.

    “Your t-shirt?” Samira finished. She slid her hands from collarbone, over her breasts, across her belly and back to her thighs. The t-shirt was old, worn soft and thin, and she knew that he could see her nipples through the fabric. “I hope you don’t mind.”

    She shifted, stretching out her legs, holding her feet up. “I also borrowed a pair of socks.”

    That was how she’d found the ring.
