    Summary

    The unknown man towers over her as he roars out “No, I am not okay. What are you? Some kind of idiot?”

    Langdon’s body is moving before he realizes, only feeling the hot fury running through him as he places himself between Mel and the male doctor.

    “Unless the next words coming out of your mouth is ‘I am sorry’ I highly advise you shut up right now.”

    ~*~*~*~*~

    The week Frank Langdon came back to the pitt, he vowed to care for Dr. Melissa King in every way he knew how.

    Summary

    The year after Jack Abbot loses his wife (car accident, Charleston, pedestrian versus drunk driver) and his leg (car bombing, Fallujah, shrapnel tearing his blood vessels to shreds) he makes some very ill-advised decisions (car sex, Bethesda, with the woman who cut off his foot).

    The latter of these things could probably be explained away as some sort of trauma response, forgotten or at least worked through with the VA assigned therapist who’s calls he’s resolutely ignoring. Except, that is, for one tiny thing. One tiny mistake that turns out, in the grand scheme of things, to be rather larger than they’d ever anticipated.

    “Birth control.” Emery Walsh tells him gloomily, after she’s sat down gingerly on the edge of his admittedly kind of gross second-hand sofa and handed him a piece of white plastic emblazoned with two pink lines.

    “Knew we’d forgotten something.”

    Summary

    Last week Frank offered to help Mel pick up a table she'd found on Facebook marketplace but couldn't lift by herself, which was fine and reasonable, only when he picked her up she was wearing a tank top that showed her collarbones, and Frank's reaction to the sight of it was not even the slightest bit reasonable or fine. Worse, he's been catching himself thinking about it on and off ever since — the delicate line of bone, the pink flush that crawled down her chest. The way she'd said his name when she caught him staring, completely oblivious to what had him so distracted, both hugely frustrating and a huge relief.

    "I don't wanna kill the vibe," Frank says, which is definitely not the same thing as no. It is, in fact, conspicuously close to a yes. "I know how important it is for you, getting time with your sister."
