“Yeah,” Mel says, exhaling. “I can understand that.”
Or, Mel and Frank work together and fall in love along the way

Summary
It was nice that he was glad to be back. She was so glad that he was. Because she liked him, despite the rumors. She liked his - their - stupid jokes. And she knew, already, that she would take just about any orders he gave her, whether they were signed as Dr. Langdon or otherwise. She trusted him. She had only known him for fifteen hours, if you ignored the 10-month gap, and she still trusted him. She didn’t trust a lot of people.
So she took ten minutes. And when she went out onto the floor eleven minutes later, feeling pressure at the back of her head, part of her wished it was still his hand.

Summary
It's just — every time he walks in, a skip to his step like he's still surprised he's allowed to be here — all she can see is his new key-chain jiggling against his keys, a gift he'd shown to anyone willing to look; Tanner made it himself, Abby let him give it to me for my sobriety anniversary. No, he doesn't know that's why, he's five. Isn't it great?
And it is, she'd thought — said — absently. He fought so hard to keep his relationship to his children, to his now ex-wife, even as he went through the motions of rehab and recovery and constant HR meetings and random piss tests everyone conspicuously pretended weren't happening. He'd fought so hard, of course it's great.
Or it would be, Mel thinks, ducking away with lukewarm coffee in hand, if she didn't know the image of that key-chain like the palm of her hand.
Or, rather, like the soulmark on the back of her knee.

Summary
He shrugged, like it was the most casual thing in the world. “I’m in. I love weddings. I’m great with families. Let’s go.”
Despite herself, Mel laughed, and the corners of his mouth turned up at the sound. “No. I can’t ask you to do that.”
(Mel accidentally lets her family think she's been dating Langdon for eight months. It's all totally fine, until he gets invited to her cousin's wedding.)

Summary
Something clattered in the bathroom. Everything inside of Mel went very, very still.
Santos looked at the shut door. She processed.
“Mel King, you dirty dog.” A slow grin stretched over her face. “Did you hook up with someone last night?”(The gang goes to a medical conference.)
