Summary
Hesitation was her downfall. Which was ironic, considering her job. At work, hesitation was a matter of life and death. Think too much, take too long, and everything goes to shit. In the ER she was fast in her mind and on her feet, her speed was her strength.
Here—anywhere—with Frank, all she could do was hesitate. It doesn’t matter how much she wants this—wants him—she couldn’t find the “go” switch in her mind she could find at work. It’s not like it wasn’t as real, it was, and it was tangible.
Or, Mel King loves Frank Langdon. Frank Langdon loves Mel King. Neither of them will say it.

Summary
"Is this what you want?" Mel asked, eyes searching his face so urgently he could barely track them.
Frank sighed, stretching out his neck and closing his eyes. "It's what she wants—"
"You, Frank," Mel interrupted. "I don't care about Abby. What do you want?"
He wet his lips, rubbing them together as he watched her sit with a hand on the door, ready to leave the car at any given moment. Then, he nodded. "Yeah," he said simply. "I want this."
She shook her head, gathering her bag from by her feet and pushing the door open. "Then have it," she said, forcing herself out. "Just don't expect me to watch."

Summary
Consumed — Frank Langdon is sober, divorced, and trying very hard to keep his life under control. Then there’s Mel King: brilliant, strange, kind, and suddenly at the center of every thought he has. What starts as friendship built on movie nights, shared shifts, and quiet devotion turns into an all-consuming obsession Frank can’t outrun.
He’s convinced she could never want him back and too afraid to risk losing her to ask. But one hazy night changes everything, leaving Frank with exactly what he’s always wanted… and the fear he’s ruined it forever.
Frank Langdon was utterly fucked

Featuring: unresolved sexual tension, several OSHA violations, medically concerning levels of yearning, and a hospital staff that should’ve unionized against workplace romance months ago.

Summary
Mel traced idle patterns on his forearm and Frank watched her face in the low light, memorising it in ways he didn't yet have language for.
"Do you think we'll remember this the same way?" Mel asked quietly, twisting her lips in thought.
He remained quiet for a moment, taking a deep breath and exhaling it. "I think we'll remember it differently," he admitted. "But I think we'll both remember it as important."
She nodded, satisfied with that.

Summary
It’s safe to say that everyone at PTMC knew about Mel and Langdon's relationship way before they did. Some could have probably guessed its eventuality during Mel’s first day, most clocked it the day of Langdon’s return. And those who didn’t were eventually made aware. There was at least some monthly hint.

go home, loser.
She doesn’t feel like giving him a hard time right now, truly, but she’s hoping if she’s casual, maybe he’ll magically think everything is okay and actually go the fuck home.
A ding.
u send her out to me and i’ll put in my fucking two weeks notice.
She stares at her phone helplessly, then looks back to Robby.
“Fuck,” he barks out. “Fuck. Fine, I’ll…I’ll go figure something out.”
He turns on his heel and starts walking towards the cops.
Her phone dings one more time.

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?
