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
Frank Langdon is an asshole. He knows this. Everyone in the ED tells him this every day. Princess, Collins, Garcia. They all know this.
What they don’t know, however, is that more than anything, he wants to be good. He tries to be good. To be a good dad, a good husband, a good doctor, a good person. He tries.

“What?”
“The last time we saw him. He didn’t have his ring on.”
