    Summary

    It starts like this:

    Frank gets caught. He does not voluntarily give up information about the stolen drugs – he gets caught.

    Big difference.

    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

    All of Mel's boyfriends.

    Mel would never presume that Frank Langdon is boyfriend material.

    Those were the words Princess had used once—though in a very different tone, after she’d stared a little too long at the new radiologist who’d come down for a consult.

    “What about me?” Frank had said, winking at her like a dog begging for a treat.

    It had made Mel feel inexplicably sad.

    Set some time after season two.

    Summary

    “That day– my first day,” she clarifies, eyes roaming all over his face like she’s searching for something. “You said when I’m ready, you need me.”

    Frank’s mouth is dry and the world seems to be moving in slow motion as he watches her turn to press her lips against his palm. Her lips are a little chapped, and it’s the best thing he’s ever felt. “Mel.

    “Is that still true?” She asks, and it’s one of the many things he loves about her. Her ability to be to the point and direct. His throat bobs as he swallows, and he thinks this is it. This is the moment that all of the movies talk about. The one where he needs to be brave, where he needs to make the big move.

    (or at the end of a long shift, Mel and Frank finally find each-other)

    Summary

    “—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”

    Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.

    “Frank, why would we move in together?”

    “I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”

    “Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”

    At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”

    What.

     

    Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
    Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.
