Summary
Frank Langdon is falling apart. He's a recovering drug addict, recently divorced, guilt-ridden doctor who misses his partner in crime Dr. Robby. He's always had a soft spot for Dr. Mel King. But when she starts to be his grounding when his world feels like its constantly spinning, he starts to wonder if maybe there's more to it.
Mel King is sunshine personified, but no one else seems to realize. All Mel wants is to fit. For someone to have her back as she constantly has others. The only person at the PTMC who feels like they're in her corner is her attending, Dr. Frank Langdon. As their relationship grows, Mel realizes she might want Langdon as more that a co-worker, more than a friend.
