Summary
“You’re such a brat, you know that?” Frank teases. Mel shrugs and returns to her seat.
“Maybe you elicit it,” she suggests, her tone sincere. His heart thuds in his chest like a bat out of hell. Maybe he does.

Summary
Mel King was a creature of habit.
There was a specific sort of choreography to her life beyond the chaos of the Emergency Department. A carefully controlled routine, a color-coded calendar, a rigid set of rituals that kept her grounded enough to keep showing up day after day, to keep on doing the work that was required of her to save lives.
Everything was going fine for Mel. Her personal life was predictable, unexciting, and perfectly fulfilling, thank you very much.
Enter Frank Langdon, agent of chaos.

Summary
They were friends.
And yeah, maybe the ring on his finger sort of burned when he looked at her sometimes, even though it was just for show, now.
It was just easier to let her keep thinking he was still married to Abby. Safer.
It raised less eyebrows about the nature of their friendship when the ring stayed on while he was at work, the weight on his finger reminding him not to say or do anything stupid.
It also made it a little less creepy when the pet names started slipping out.

Summary
Dr. Melissa King's feet pounded up the stairwell, the sound of her steps echoing off the walls with her labored breaths. She was a seasoned runner, an expert stair climber, and could lift 150 pounds on a good day with the right squat form. She was a very fit individual by most standards. But tonight, as she raced to the roof, her knees felt shaky, her calves ached, and her limbs were overcome with a general heaviness she couldn't explain.
It was Christmas Eve, and she had kissed Dr. Frank Langdon.
———————————————————————————
Mel panics and runs after kissing Frank. She reminisces about her first, second, and third kisses on Christmas Eve.

Summary
If she wouldn’t look crazy for doing it, Mel would have pinched herself again. Because there was no conceivable way that Frank was actually, truly, standing in front of her in a dimly lit call room, asking her to touch him.
“C’mon, Mel. Take advantage.”
It’s night shift, and Mel gets an anatomy lesson.

Summary
“Hey,” Mel whispers just as quietly, her smile tired but so content it almost makes Frank want to cry. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen such an expression on her pretty face, not even for him. “I know you were on baby duty tonight but…I just couldn’t help it.”
Frank should have known. Mel was never good at waking him up if she had to.
Or the one where Frank falls asleep during newborn baby duty.

Mel did not fall in love with Frank Langdon, because falling suggested an accident, something unplanned, and there had been nothing accidental about this.

Summary
It was then, after taking out her phone to take a picture of the poster outside the door, that she realized it wasn’t just Frank who was getting a Mayoral Citation for Heroic Service; it was also Melissa King, their names linked together with a fancy, swirling ampersand.
“I didn’t know this was a joint party,” Abby said, folding her arms across her chest and gesturing to the sign.
“Oh… yeah. I mean, I told you this was a work thing, Abs,” He licked his lips and Abby stiffened, her ears going hot. So that was how it was going to be.
Is there ever a convenient way to find out your husband is having an affair?

Summary
‘For my money, that’s your girl’. He starts a little as he registers Dana standing beside him, in the same silver dress she always wears to these things (she says it’s comfortable and looks good, and she just slightly changes her hair and accessories each time). She’s holding two drinks, and hands him one.
‘What?’ He forgets about his ‘no more drinking till after the speech’ plan and takes a sip.
‘You wanted to know why our prodigal son changed his mind, there’s your answer right there’ says Dana, wryly. ‘Look at him. She’s got him wrapped around her little finger’.
Langdon refuses to go the fundraiser. Until Mel asks him to. Robby had no idea something was brewing between them. Until Dana pointed it out.

Summary
Frank doesn’t get divorced.
Not when he tells Abby about his addiction. Not when he tells her that he’s been diverting drugs from the hospital and is on administrative leave. Not when he tells her that he has to go to rehab, or he’ll probably end up in jail.
Not even when the first stint in rehab doesn’t take, and he goes back for another two months.
So, he has no right to be jealous when he finds out that Mel has a boyfriend.

Summary
It takes three weeks for him to cross the line he set for himself when he drove her home after that Fourth of July shift and ask her if he can stay the night at her place.
He knows they can be friendly at work, though he can’t actually be friends with her, not when he’s dealing with recovery and a trial separation and the desire to make everything better for her.
But he forgets all of that after just one night.
And then it becomes a habit.

Summary
“Tell me not to do it.”
Her jaw drops, eyebrows furrowing, and she says, “What?”
“Tell me not to do it,” he repeats. “Tell me that I should divorce her, tell me that you —”
He swallows the words and says, “Tell me that I shouldn’t renew my vows, that I should be with someone who actually wants to be with me, who isn’t just doing it because she thinks she has to because we have kids and I’m in recovery.”

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.”
