It starts like this:
Frank gets caught. He does not voluntarily give up information about the stolen drugs – he gets caught.
Big difference.

Summary
Fourteen day shifts that Mel and Frank share after he returns to work.
He instinctively looked for a braid and scrub pants, the only fit he'd ever seen her in. It took his brain a hot second to realise the woman in jeans, white sneakers, and a ponytail through her snapback was actually Mel.
At which point he walked full tilt into a wall.

Summary
Like the one Frank thinks of now, as he stares at the ceiling. He can practically heat Mom’s voice, chipper and raspy and kind of grating: Time flies when you’re having fun!
Frank is not having fun. It must be why time seems to have stilled.

“Keep your jacket on, cover for me and say I'm having crazy IBS or something. Meet me in the family bathroom in 20. I can cover that up,” Trinity said, as if directing a procedure.
“Cover what up?” Langdon tried, lamely, bringing a palm up to cover his neck.
And this was allegedly the most prolific liar on staff? Ha.
“That massive hickey that will make tonight Hell for you if you don't let me help."

Summary
"I think it’s not about other people’s trust in you. It’s more about if you trust yourself.”
Frank trusts himself with a lot of things—saving a patient’s life, taking care of his kids, calling someone when he’s craving benzos. But with Mel? She’s so rare, so precious. How could he ever trust himself with that?

Summary
“Think you’ll ever get married again?”
The question came from Abbot, directed straight to Frank alone. The smug smirk on Abbot’s face as he stared across the table at Frank made that clear. That and the fact that Frank was the only person at the table who had been married before, besides Abbot himself.
It should have been a throwaway question.
Yet there was a right and wrong answer to this question.

Summary
"Gloria is downstairs which means it’s crisis mode in the ER. Well, for some people. One person.
That’s probably more accurate.
Gloria is downstairs so Robby is in crisis.
When isn’t he though? That man seems to have the resilience of a soaking-wet chihuahua when it comes to having conversations with half the people in the ER. Cassie thinks his take is skewed because Frank is one of the people Robby doesn’t want to talk to, but he’s not convinced."
OR
Robby's trying to hide from Gloria behind a desk, Frank's surprised he's considered immature with that glowing example, and Gloria's trying to roll out a new peer review measure that's sure to ruin everyone's flow. Just a typical day in the ER.

Summary
Mel was unfamiliar with this particular kind of want, this clawing at her skin, this sense that she might die unless Frank talked to her. That she might burst into flames if he ever touched her. This thinly-veiled desperation that had her doing things like curling her hair and letting Samira dust her eyelids with shimmery shadow.
Or, Frank hosts a Divorce Party.

Summary
Her thoughts are as follows: If Subject A (Mel) shows signs of discomfort, Subject B (Frank) will try to help, and vice versa. Therefore, if A is in need of a replacement for an article of clothing, B will do his best to provide A with one.
It’s shaky logic, all things considered, but it’s enough.
All that’s left is for Mel to put her hypothesis to the test.
Or: Mel can’t stop stealing Frank’s clothes. It’s becoming quite the problem.

Summary
There’s a spot on the side of the building, just around the corner from the ambulance bay, where the hospital’s security cameras don’t reach. It has a low window with blinds that are always closed from the inside and a stone ledge that’s wide enough to sit comfortably on, and it faces an overflow parking lot that hasn’t really been used since COVID.
She’s there for all of three minutes before Langdon finds her.
//
Or, the day that Mel helps Langdon through a panic attack.

Summary
"Once a year, like a bad zombie movie, a shambling mass of dead-eyed day-shifters drag themselves to the PTMC an hour early to be lectured on hospital policies and standards.
It seems almost counterintuitive that people who agreed to years of extra school just to reach residency would consider a lecture to be one of the worst days of the year, but alas, such is the power of hospital administration, cursed be their names."
OR
It's HR policy day and Frank is looking forward to having a normal time, playing footsie with Mel and not taking any notes. Hopefully there aren't any surprise questions that force him into the hot seat...

Summary
Langdon was leaning back on his elbows, long legs stretched out, fiddling absently with something at the base of his throat. It took her a moment to realize what it was—the first necklace she’d given him, the matte black piece swinging gently against his scrub top as his fingers worried the edges.
He was sweetly holding onto it, like it was a lifeline. Something about the sight tugged at her heart.

Summary
“This is in no way an accusation,” Robby says, stroking his beard with a thumb and a forefinger. He’s steeling himself for discomfort in a way that makes Frank want to turn heel and walk back out of this conversation entirely. “Consider it a fact-finding mission. No more, no less. Even if the answer is affirmative. But—is there anything I need to know about your relationship with Dr. King?”
