Summary
“when did you pack that?” he asks, as the congregation mills around them.
“when I found out you'd be wearing a skirt,” she replies, matter-of-factly.
“it's not–” he starts, too loudly, and brings his voice down, "it's not a skirt. it's a kilt.”
“mmhm.”

Summary
She thinks about punishing him for running, thinks about asking for her keys back, thinks about telling him to go home to his lonely apartment and sit in whatever it is that made him leave in the first place. She thinks about lighting up a smoke from a pack of stale cigarettes that she hasn’t smoked in two weeks just to blow the smoke in his face.
Abby does none of those things, though.

Summary
It's been twenty years but after watching how genuine The Pitt is, I can't help but think back on how Abby and Carter's relationship felt like it was tossed aside. Starts about a year after season 10. Abby has split from Luka as has Carter from Kem. Carter is getting ready to return to Africa but this time Abby makes a different choice: she goes with him.

Summary
Carter has this “what-if” game that he plays, even though he tells his therapist that he doesn’t play it anymore because it’s extremely unhealthy. He goes down a rabbit hole wondering if he’d be less lonely if he made the opposite choice at any given point in time in his whole life.
OR; standalone companion pieces to something might be found from Carter’s point of view, circa 2020, where he and Abby finally get the timing right.

Summary
It’s weird, the way Robby’s sizing her up, like he’s figuring out the angles of approach, running differentials in his head.
Thirty-two-year-old doctor, lonely and stubborn and needy. Complicated, closed-off, grieving. Does she want to be fingered? Eaten out? Fucked into the mattress with her head buried in a pillow so she can forget who he is?

‘Unstoppable force, meet immovable object,’ Frank smirks and rolls his eyes.
‘That’s it,’ Mel nods. ‘Sometimes… that’s just it.’

“She also said you handled it pretty well. All things considered.”
The moment his words registered, Mel lifted her head. “Really?”
“Oh, yeah,” Frank said, nodding. His bangs were falling into his eyes again. “That was a textbook response.”
The tiniest smile had just started to form when he added, “But I really need you to never do that again.”

Summary
It sucked to acknowledge what he'd done to anyone, obviously, but for some reason it always felt the worst in front of Mel, because she'd never once shown him even a hint of judgment for it. He could list every shitty fucking thing he did, all the drugs he stole, the lies he told, all of it, and Mel would just sit there and nod and tell him Okay, well, thank you for being honest with me.
It wasn't that he didn't want her to do that. It was that he craved it so badly he couldn't stand it, needed her acceptance with an intensity he didn't know how to handle.

Summary
It’s been hard to interact with people who knew him during it. (He now splits his life into the before, during, and after. It feels as if there were three different Franks living during those times.) He can’t shake the feeling that he’s living inside all of their heads, a character that they’re watching in their favorite TV show. Mel doesn’t look at him like that. She looks at him like he’s still real.

She likes that word: fleeting. It feels important, but not too permanent.
Above all else, Samira values proof-of-concept. It's winter in Pittsburgh. She walks home from the hospital most nights. She thinks of Doctor Abbot often. She only sees him outside of work once.

Summary
Letting people get close to her in general, it's — overwhelming. There are always questions, and hovering, that gap between Mel and the world around her so much wider when she doesn't have the emotional fortitude to do her best to bridge it. She's a pretty positive person, generally. It doesn't usually bother her much, until suddenly it does.
Frank's overwhelming too, she guesses, it's just that she doesn't really mind. He builds the bridge for himself, most of the time. It's easier when she doesn't have to do all the work.
(Five times Mel says she's fine.)
