Summary
He curses himself for not having paid closer attention when they first got to South 16. If he had, he would have seen the patient sit up straighter in recognition on the hospital bed, nervously looking out the glass door like he was already trying to find a different doctor to treat him. If Langdon had realized this, he could have grabbed Mel by the elbow and gotten her out of the room before she set her eyes on him. He feels mortally sick just thinking about Mel’s beautiful, tender and attentive eyes sparing that piece of shit a single motherfucking glance.

Summary
Dr. Melissa King and Dr. Frank Langdon could not be any more different from each other, except for certain instances where they are too similar for comfort. He struggles to embrace the goodness in his life after a stint in rehab and a failed marriage, she is too used to doing everything by herself that it makes her incapable of accepting help – and none of them consider themselves particularly lucky or unlucky despite all of it. Not until they realize that their presence in each other's lives is nothing short of a blessing from their lucky stars.
A story where Mel and Frank desperately want to take care of one another and they try their very best to succeed in the task.

Summary
Frank huffed, setting the mug down. “How many times are we going to have to go over this, Mel? I like listening to you talk. I’m not just being nice. We’re friends.”
“It’s important to ask,” she said, still watching him carefully. “Because sometimes people say they want to know something but they don’t actually mean that they do. They’re just being polite. And it’s hard for me to tell that, always.”
“I’ll tell you what,” he suggested. “Let’s make this easy. With me, you never have to ask. Consider it my… blanket approval, I guess.”
He pointed to himself. “I, Frank Langdon, am interested in what you have to say.”

Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Summary
Something clattered in the bathroom. Everything inside of Mel went very, very still.
Santos looked at the shut door. She processed.
“Mel King, you dirty dog.” A slow grin stretched over her face. “Did you hook up with someone last night?”(The gang goes to a medical conference.)

Summary
Her head is a little spinny and overwhelmed as she learns what it’s like to date Frank Langdon instead of just be weirdly co-dependent best friends with Frank Langdon. She starts a new section of her journal titled Observations, Hypotheses, and Research Questions (RQs) - FAL where she jots some of her newly acquired data down, just to get it out of her head, mostly little things like:
Observation: He sleeps much more deeply after an orgasm, but he also seems embarrassed about it.
Hypothesis: He is nervous about saying I love you.She starts a sub-tab for Pet Names and Compliments (PN&C) and the first RQ under PN&C is:
Why does he sometimes say “perfect” during sex?Bookmarked by newrom4ntics

Summary
“Those the same hands we let you operate in the ER with, Whittaker?”
Frank’s voice cuts through the din, not exactly booming but stern and authoritative. The group clams up as Frank deposits the two cocktails for Samira and Trinity on the table, out of the way of the beer spillage.
“I asked you a question.”
“I - uh - it was —“
“You need to watch what you’re doing. Someone could have gotten seriously hurt.” His tone is dripping in hostility and poor Whittaker wilts under the scorn. Santos’ mouth twists unpleasantly and she takes a deep breath like she’s revving up to go toe to toe with Frank. “I mean, seriously, what were you thinking —“
“Frank,” Mel interjects, if only to stop the shouting match that is about to erupt.
Frank turns to her, the tension leaving his face all at once. He studies her in that clinical way of his, scanning her body from head to toe, making his own mental diagnosis of what’s wrong and how to fix it. “Let’s get you cleaned up, yeah?”
Or, Frank is an asshole to everyone. Except when it comes to Mel. And Mel likes that.
