Summary
Mel King was a creature of habit.
There was a specific sort of choreography to her life beyond the chaos of the Emergency Department. A carefully controlled routine, a color-coded calendar, a rigid set of rituals that kept her grounded enough to keep showing up day after day, to keep on doing the work that was required of her to save lives.
Everything was going fine for Mel. Her personal life was predictable, unexciting, and perfectly fulfilling, thank you very much.
Enter Frank Langdon, agent of chaos.

Summary
Taking a bite of her hashbrowns as Trinity thinks, she admits, “I saw you and Langdon at the diner the other day.”
Mel doesn’t deny anything and says, “So that's how Garcia knew. She told Frank that you accused him of cheating on his wife. He denied it, of course. I don’t like that we have to lie to people.” She's not meeting Trinity's eyes, staring down at a water ring carved into the table, tracing it with her fingers.
What did Trinity even want out of this conversation? They were past the point of Trinity changing Mel's mind about Langdon, and she didn’t want to make Mel feel any more guilty than she already felt. Mel didn’t need someone to protect her. She just needed a friend.
“Do you want to talk about it?”Or Trinity learns to play nice with others. Well, at least she tries to.

Summary
Mel king is completely normal about Frank Langdon. And a little light stalking never harmed anyone.
Right?
***
Or, in which Mel is a little more than obsessed with Langdon.
This is obviously inspired by the videoclip "the boy is mine" by ariana grande. Ish.
