Summary
“Well, Aunt Irene asked if you were bringing any one.”
“... And you told her no. Because I’m not bringing anyone. Right?”
“I did not do that.” Becca said, looking sideways, avoiding Mel’s eye.
Mel blanched, swallowing hard, eyelids stuttering. But she had to keep her cool. She could not yell. She could not freak out.
“I told Aunt Irene that you were bringing your boyfriend.”
“Becca,” She said, as calmly as she could, “I don’t have a boyfriend. You know that. I’ve never had a boyfriend.” The last line, in a whisper.
“Well, I told her that Dr. Langdon was your boyfriend.”
Mel brings Dr. Langdon as her plus-one to her cousin Claire's wedding. Dr. Langdon is all too willing to pretend to be her boyfriend. Maybe a little too willing? To follow: a dog bite, spanking-related misunderstandings, erotic steak eating, and of course: only-one-bed!

Summary
He knew that her parents weren’t around, though he didn’t know why. He knew she took care of her sister. But, he wondered, who took care of her? Mohan, probably. And Santos. Even Whittaker to an extent. Well, sign him up. Put him in, Coach. He’d take care of her, too.
Or: all the ways Frank Langdon takes care of Mel King.

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.)

Summary
It was probably a good thing that no one assumed that Mel and Frank could possibly be dating. They had agreed to keep it a secret, after all.
But, come on. Not one rumor? Really?
It was starting to piss Frank off.

Mel picked up her phone, wondering if spam callers even worked this late at night.

Summary
“Are you not interested in dating?” Frank asked curiously. Mel could tell there wasn't judgement in his voice, just that he was trying to inquire.
“Um, it's more like it doesn't cross my mind. I actually did some research back in grad school about asexuality and I think I’m demisexual. Have you heard the term?” Mel responded.
“No, tell me more.”
__________Or Frank and Mel go on practice dates together to both gain more experience with dating (and cuteness ensues)

Summary
Frank’s jaw has been hanging so low for the past thirty seconds that his mouth is starting to feel parched. He barely notices when Yolanda starts nudging at his shoulder and saying his name, because his full attention, importantly, is devoted elsewhere. Namely, where Mel stands at the back of the bar commanding the stage, spouting the most erotic lyrics Frank thinks he’s ever heard in his life.
The Pitt residents are at a karaoke bar for Dennis' birthday. Songs are sung, and Mel is determined to make her move.

Summary
It’s Mel King, who looks absolutely identical to the other times—count them, three—he’s seen her: honey-colored braid, no-nonsense thick-framed glasses, a slightly uncertain expression playing across her face, which Frank already knows hides the strength of her convictions.

Summary
“We think this may be a..”, Princess lowered her voice even further, “-huh..my boyfriend who lives in Canada situation.”
“I don’t follow,” Samira said dubiously.
“no one has seen the guy around-,
“-says they don’t have any pictures together because he is private,” Princess continues, looking at her meaningfully.
“Oh. Oh my God, you think she is making it up?” Her voice goes way over this conversation's acceptable volume.
Cassie winces.
“I don’t think she meant to do it”, she explains.
“Chad came up again, so we started talking about relationships and Mel got roped into it. I think she wanted to get us off her back but when Santos doubled down, I guess she felt like she had to save face..?”
or
Mel has a boyfriend. A boyfriend who is 6’2, cooks her salmon dinners and bought her a white gold sweetheart necklace. Mel’s boyfriend loves her sister, runs marathons and drives an Audi.
Too bad no one at PTMC has ever heard his name or seen pictures nor spotted them together anywhere in Pittsburgh proper.
Oh, by the way, he is a doctor too.

“Do you know where you’re going?”
