Summary
This was not the face of a bad morning.
Something, or someone, had completely smothered Mel's spark.
All of Frank’s priorities reshuffled in an instant. Everyone in this hospital was an idiot if they didn't realize how great of a doctor she was, and how vital it was to keep her from burning out.
Frank attempted a smile. He waved, bracelet rustling on his wrist, feet glued to his spot across the room.
Mel removed a hand from her pocket to wave back at him, cocking her head to the side and squinting, as if he was a mirage in the desert.
No broad smile, and certainly not an ecstatic “You're here!” like last time, something he'd secretly craved. But it was something. Acknowledgement that she didn't hate him, at least.

“Keep your jacket on, cover for me and say I'm having crazy IBS or something. Meet me in the family bathroom in 20. I can cover that up,” Trinity said, as if directing a procedure.
“Cover what up?” Langdon tried, lamely, bringing a palm up to cover his neck.
And this was allegedly the most prolific liar on staff? Ha.
“That massive hickey that will make tonight Hell for you if you don't let me help."

Summary
Mel’s third-favorite scene in Dirty Dancing is only a second long. It’s when Johnny jumps off the stage during the final dance and flips his head up right on cue with the singer crooning “Hey, baby!”
So it was very distracting that, for the rest of the day after her karaoke session with Myrna, Frank had been quietly singing those two words to her every time they ran into each other. A “Hey baby!” when he slid into the chair next to her in the breakroom. Another when they met in the middle both jogging to an ambulance.
She couldn’t help but laugh every time he did it which, knowing Frank, meant he’d probably do it tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.

Summary
Mel and Frank have been doing a surprisingly good job keeping their relationship quiet.
Unfortunately, Mel is late for work, wildly distracted, and maybe not paying quite as much attention as she should be.
