    Summary

    “I know you think I am crazy, but you have to agree that it kinda looks like Mel.” The words had been spoken barely above a whisper by Dennis Whitaker to his friend/roommate, Trinity Santos, as they stood in the nurse’s hub. Apparently, neither of them had noticed him approaching them from behind, Langdon mused. He watched as Whitaker held out his phone so Santos could look at what he was showing her.

    “I still think you’re crazy, Huckleberry,” she scoffed. “Or, maybe your long sexual drought is causing pornographic hallucinations.”

    Now this conversation had piqued Landon’s interest. Why on Earth were they talking about Mel and Whitaker’s apparent lack of sex in the same conversation?

    Santos grabbed Whitaker’s phone from his hands with the precision of a sleight-of-hand magician and held it out for Langdon to look. She gave a little laugh, and with an evil smile, she explained. “Oh, our resident pervert here found an OF account that he thinks looks like our own little Mel-ancholia.”

    Summary

    But he was looking at her like he did back before they knew they were siblings. It made the evil thing inside of her roll around in her stomach, because she wanted to kiss him just like she had back then. Kiss his lips. His stupid dimpled chin. Her brother's lips. Her brother's chin.

    Stupid.

    Summary

    “I need to get out of this dress,” Mel said abruptly.

    Frank went very still beside her, his voice was quieter, lower too, “oh, yeah?”

    “Yes. I get very overstimulated by unfamiliar fabrics, and this kind of zipper always digs in.”

    “Right,” he said, leaning back again with a chuckle to himself, running a hand across his face. “Right.”

    Summary

    She brought every case she could to him and threw herself into each emergency at his side with unmistakable enthusiasm, as though she genuinely wanted to work with him. As though, somehow, she actually enjoyed being around him. For fleeting moments, it almost felt as if what they were doing wasn’t work at all, but something she had chosen to share with him specifically.
    And Frank loved to work with her. She was perceptive and analytical, but she also carried a strong emotional leadership that allowed her to notice things others would overlook. In the middle of the turbulence of his own life, Frank found it refreshing to watch someone move with such determination without a trace of arrogance.

     

    Or

    Frank Langdon realizing he doesn't need to be perfect to be good. And he doesn't need to be good to be loved by Mel.
