    Summary

    “Go back to your wife, Frank.”

    “No,” He said, simply.

    “Frank, please.”

     
    Or, the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center holds its quinquennial gala, Frank is still married and Mel is kind of, sort of, losing her mind.

    Summary

    What Mel wants, if she’s honest, is very simple: to not be on the floor, to be close to Dr. Langdon again, and to be as far from a lawsuit as possible. Preferably in some distant future where all of these problems are ancient history, and she no longer has an aching feeling when she remembers them.

    Or; Mel hits her head and wakes up in the future, a little too close to her wish.

    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

    “My type?” Frank slightly looks at Mel just for a mere second others not even registering it.“Redhead, green eyes.” he takes a sip of his water
    “Bullshit.” Sam rolls her eyes.
    “Sam!” their mom exclaims from across the table.
    “You like blonds with big doe eyes.” she states.
    “Shut up! You don’t know what I like.” Frank argues back.

    Mel couldn’t help just to smile at her lap, her cheeks reddening just a little, and when she looked up again, she accidentally made eye contact with Frank, who obviously noticed her reaction, and pulled his mouth into a cheeky smirk, pulling one eyebrow up. “Oh God.” Mel thinks “I’m in trouble.”
