    Summary

    “What do you think about the severe rash case? Think you want in on it or can I take it?”

    Frank turns to face her, which makes her look at him. His eyebrow is raised, an expression of focus on his face. “I think I want you to take a break.”

    Mel laughs, glances away before making eye contact again. “That’s a funny joke.”

    “No, I'm serious. Mel, go take fifteen,” he says with a firm tone.

    “But I don’t need a break.”

    Frank places a gentle, yet strong, hand on her shoulder. Mel glances down at it, a bit too stunned to speak; her brain trips over itself. Frank rarely touches her like this. It should be overstimulating — and if it were anyone else, it very well might’ve been — but instead the weight of his hand on her shoulder grounds her. Becomes an anchor.
