    Summary

    “It would be ideal if I didn’t have to… participate, too much. I don’t want to feel like I'm acting. Or putting on a show. But you could call me whenever you wanted, and you could just…” Mel gestured vaguely to her lap, pleased with herself. “You could just use me.”

    Dr. Langdon put his forehead on the steering wheel. “Oh my god,” he muttered. “I am going straight to hell.”

    Summary

    It was probably a good thing that no one assumed that Mel and Frank could possibly be dating. They had agreed to keep it a secret, after all.

    But, come on. Not one rumor? Really?

    It was starting to piss Frank off.

    Summary

    “So you know how Abby and I are going through a rough patch.”

    Mel cocked her head. “I thought you were getting a divorce.”

    “Nah, she won’t actually go through with that. She’s just making me work for it,” Frank said, as if he hadn’t been served with divorce papers in the ED lobby through the plexiglass.

    “Ah,” said Mel.

    He took a deep breath. “So anyway, I was thinking. You’re single, I’m separated. We should be friends with benefits. Just for six months or so, until Abby takes me back.”

    Summary

    Frank has never been a good sleeper. It's a blessing and a curse in turn, but he's made peace with needing less sleep than anyone he's ever met.

    And then he meets Mel King, and she changes that.

    (She changes everything.)

    OR — Over a series of late night talks, texts, FaceTimes, and maybe dates, Langdon and Mel fall in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

    Summary

    Like the one Frank thinks of now, as he stares at the ceiling. He can practically heat Mom’s voice, chipper and raspy and kind of grating: Time flies when you’re having fun!

    Frank is not having fun. It must be why time seems to have stilled.
