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.- Language:

Summary
"I think it’s not about other people’s trust in you. It’s more about if you trust yourself.”
Frank trusts himself with a lot of things—saving a patient’s life, taking care of his kids, calling someone when he’s craving benzos. But with Mel? She’s so rare, so precious. How could he ever trust himself with that?

Summary
Abbot leans in at Robby's ear, voice gentle as Frank's ever heard it but still with the ex-military no-nonsense tone that suggests he’s giving an order he expects to be obeyed. “Robby?”
“Yeah?”
“Would you kindly stop teaching for a second so we can focus on saving your life?”
