Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.

Summary
“When’s the last time you washed your hands?” Mel asked.
Frank paused, confused, and then shrugged a shoulder. “Uh - two minutes ago?”
“Have you touched anything since?”
“No. I mean, nothing besides you.”
“Alright. And - do you trust me?”
“Yeah, I trust you.”
“Um, can you - can I do something, and - and can you not laugh at me or be weirded out because I really need this and… and you offered, you remember, you offered to do what you could, no matter what?”
He nodded.
“You remember, Frank, you remember that you said that? You remember that you promised?”
“Yes,” he stressed. Really, what was the weirdest thing she could do? Recite all 118 elements of the periodic table? List all the books of the bible? Rap Hamilton at him really fast without breaking eye contact?
Take his hand and stick two of his fingers in her mouth?

Summary
Mel picked up her phone, wondering if spam callers even worked this late at night.
“I’m getting a divorce,” Langdon said on the other end, without any kind of preamble, “Can I crash with you?”

Summary
There are three bets circulating the ER that month. One: how many weeks before Abbot realizes his leftover Stroganoff is actively growing mold. Two: the likelihood of Santos stabbing Garcia in the foot again after the recent announcement of her new relationship. And three: how long until Melissa King sees that Frank Langdon is no longer wearing his wedding ring.
That area of the board is tapered with dozens of sticky notes and wads of cash so big Ahmad had to buy another whiteboard.
