Summary
Frank huffed, setting the mug down. “How many times are we going to have to go over this, Mel? I like listening to you talk. I’m not just being nice. We’re friends.”
“It’s important to ask,” she said, still watching him carefully. “Because sometimes people say they want to know something but they don’t actually mean that they do. They’re just being polite. And it’s hard for me to tell that, always.”
“I’ll tell you what,” he suggested. “Let’s make this easy. With me, you never have to ask. Consider it my… blanket approval, I guess.”
He pointed to himself. “I, Frank Langdon, am interested in what you have to say.”

Summary
"Oh my God," Mel breathes, turning to look at Frank. "That's a baby."
A weird, blob-like shape resembling a baby that will be a baby, at least. Their baby.
"Wow," he says from where he stands at her shoulder, but his voice is thick, and she looks up to find his eyes wet, glistening against the light from the screen. "Holy shit, Mel, that's our baby."
Mel grapples with her impending motherhood amidst caring for her sister, a fellowship program, and missing her own mom. Frank is the support she needs.

Summary
A new high chair at the kitchen table, a new carseat crammed in the back of the car, binkies thrown everywhere. Sleepless nights, milk stained shirts, diaper blowouts.
He sees it all, laid out in front of him like a blueprint.

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
“Christ,” Robby muttered under his breath, scrubbing his face with his palm.
“The ER can be a very bright and noisy place, Robby!” Langdon argued, like he was reciting the words from a script.
“Yes, I understand that, Langdon,” Robby replied calmly, trying to stay even-tempered. “But you can’t just go around profiling our patients as neurodivergent.”

Summary
Jesper says it must be blackmail. Maybe murder. There’s no other way Kaz Brekker could already be holding a full professorship at the University of Ketterdam, no matter how many books he’s written. Inej, trapped by an adjunct’s contract which is the only thing standing between her and deportation, is willing to risk the obvious dangers of his company in exchange for the advantages, professional and otherwise. But when the department’s budget comes up suspiciously short, Inej’s job is on the line, and Kaz isn’t ready to let her go without a fight.

Inej Ghafa is a principal dancer of the Kerch National Ballet, haunted by a past she'd rather forget. Kaz Brekker is a mob boss who holds the city in the palm of his hand.
