Summary
“So, we gonna talk about it?” Frank looks up from his plate, where he’s swirling a fry around in ketchup, his eyes locking with hers.
Mel both loves and hates his penchant for direct eye contact. She never doubts that he’s listening. Never has to wonder if he really sees her. At this point, he might know her better than anyone. Can basically read her like an open book. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t occasionally try some evasive maneuvers.
“Talk about what?” she asks, reaching for her cup to take a long sip of her water.
“You.” He pops the fry into his mouth and swallows before continuing, eyes still locked on her face. “Online dating.”
--
When, at Trinity Santos' urging, Mel decides to give online dating a try, she feels a bit in over her head. It's a good thing she's got Frank Langdon to help. Maybe what she's looking for might not be so hard to find after all.Bookmarked by raymcdan

“Actually, did you— Did you make that?”

“The costume, Mel,” Langdon laughs in a rush of air and reverence.
(or: mel's friend overheats at the renaissance fair. it's a great day for langdon.)

Summary
“Langdon, if you’re done with the personal call on the clock,” Dana says, appearing on his left. “Whitaker could use a senior resident in…”
“Just give me one minute,” he replies. “Mel, you gotta tell me what’s going on…”
“Don’t freak out, okay?”
In the history of people uttering that sentence, Frank thinks there are few who have not proceeded to freak the fuck out over what follows. But he’s an ER doctor. He thrives under pressure. If anyone is not going to freak out, it’s him. But it’s also her…
“Mel…”
“I…” Frank hears a faint thunk, like a tire hitting a pothole, and then the sound of someone hissing in pain. “I may have broken my arm…”
