Summary
“I think I need some air,” he sheepishly chuckled, wiping the blood from his arm onto his shirt, gesturing to the mess on the floor like it was an insignificant accident, the occupational hazard of being at a bar, not a clear indication that something had gone horribly wrong. “Care to join me?”
“Uhm,” Mel said, “sure.”
But a voice behind her said at the same moment, “Nah.”
Mel’s head whipped around. Frank had a tight frown on his face, his arms were crossed against his chest, and he walked towards them, his eyes squarely on Cole.
Mel runs into an old patient from the VA while the PTMC crew is out at a bar celebrating Dana’s birthday. It’s a welcome distraction from Abby Langdon until he gets too drunk. Frank intervenes.

Summary
Frank tuts, shaking his head dismissively. "No, no, it couldn't be. The clue doesn't mention tortillas at all."
He has to bite his tongue to stop from laughing as he watches Dr.King straighten up, her dark brows furrowing as she mulls the quip over in her head. It was mesmerizing, really, to watch the way her mind worked. Either in quick snaps that left him speechless or the delayed gratification of a well thought upon reply. Both felt equally satisfying to Frank.
When her brows lift in realization, Frank knows he's been caught as her attention turns to him instead of considering the comment.
"I see. Enchilada and Echidna. That's funny," she concedes. "But it has to be echidna, platypus aren't spiny. Hm. Unless you consider their spurs? No, echidna works much better."

Summary
People weren’t always patient; it’s just a matter of fact she’s come to accept, as easily as the sky is blue. People weren’t always generous — with their time, much less with their attention — and Mel’s grown accustomed to the exasperated raise of eyebrows whenever her rambles cross the Too Much line.
She’s used to it.
Frank, though—
She hadn’t accounted for Frank.
Or, Mel’s an unstoppable force trying to get over her feelings, and Frank’s an immovable object who won’t let her.

Summary
if you had asked him six months ago, when he was in the throes of rehab and recovery, that he would be spending the night after his first shift back at work making a burner tiktok account, he would have laughed in your face.
but, alas, as soon as he gets home from the hospital, that's what he's doing.
(or, dr. j gets gossipy.)

Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Summary
“Is this the Frank discount?” She asked, hoping her joke came off witty. He shook his head, already free pouring a clear liquor into his shaker, picking up another bottle with his free hand.
“Frank discount is for regulars and people who tip well.” He replied. “This is something else.” He knocked the top of the shaker, before lifting it above his head, giving it a hard shake. He grabbed a glass from somewhere beneath him, pouring the drink before sliding it in front of her.
“What’s something else?” She asked. He looked up at her, his eyes full of a calm confidence that suddenly made her feel warm.
“The Pretty Mel discount, obviously.” He looked completely unashamed as he nodded towards her drink, telling her to taste it.

Summary
All of Mel's boyfriends.
Mel would never presume that Frank Langdon is boyfriend material.
Those were the words Princess had used once—though in a very different tone, after she’d stared a little too long at the new radiologist who’d come down for a consult.
“What about me?” Frank had said, winking at her like a dog begging for a treat.
It had made Mel feel inexplicably sad.
Set some time after season two.

Summary
All things considered, it was probably for the best that Mel King was a Beta. She couldn't imagine being overwhelmed by scent and instinct 24/7 like an Alpha or an Omega, so she really couldn't be too upset on that front. Not to mention also the other social layers to the designations, no thank you.
Being a Beta was safe and boring. Dr. Langdon didn't seem to mind befriending them either, so that was a plus.
As hectic as the Pitt could be, the return of her favorite doctor did a lot for Mel's peace of mind, even if he smelled kind of good and was kind of too nice to her. He was a little bullheaded about it, but that's just how Alphas were. Right? Yeah.

Summary
“It would be ideal if I didn’t have to… participate, too much. I don’t want to feel like I'm acting. Or putting on a show. But you could call me whenever you wanted, and you could just…” Mel gestured vaguely to her lap, pleased with herself. “You could just use me.”
Dr. Langdon put his forehead on the steering wheel. “Oh my god,” he muttered. “I am going straight to hell.”

Summary
Mel King is a responsible person.
She picks up her dry cleaning on time, waters her plants on schedule, and never lets a bag of spinach turn to slime in her fridge. She takes care of herself, her sister, and the people of Pittsburg. So, when it comes to advice, she always says the right thing:
"do not drunk text your ex", "do not rebound with a fling on Tinder", and "never, ever, date your coworkers".Mel King is a hypocrite.

Summary
Her hitched breath and a quiet sniff clue him into her state, even though he can no longer see her. Blindly he reaches a hand across the dash. He silently hates himself for loving her so deeply like this, hates that her empathy leads her here and hates how much it draws him to her.
“You once said that the ER needs sensitive people,” she states, fighting back that choked breath that comes with an onslaught of tears. “So do stray dogs, and cats, and—and squirrels that don’t know when to turn around in the middle of the road—”
“They do, Mel, but I need you. You don’t deserve this.”
Or: Mel's empathy is too all-encompasing for her own good. Frank is her steady hand.
