Summary
Trinity tilted her head to the side with a curious look at Mel. She did this sometimes when she realized there was some fundamental knowledge about social rules that Mel didn’t have. It happened more often than Mel would’ve liked. “That’s kind of why people flirt, Mel. To figure out if someone likes you back without having to say it outright.”
“Oh.”
Trinity leaned closer to Mel with a mischievous grin. “Is there someone you’d like to test the waters with?”
—
OR: Mel decides to try flirting with Frank.

Summary
Santos rolled her eyes so hard it looked like they might pop out of their sockets. “I’ve only managed to convince Mel to go out with me, like, three times since the Fourth, and all those times involved a lot of begging that I honestly just don’t have the energy for. But I know for sure she’ll come if you come, so… You gotta come.”
Frank felt his ears heat up. “… Did she say that?”
—
OR: Frank joins a few of his coworkers at a bar, which inevitably leads to him getting flirted with. Mel gets just a little bit jealous.

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
Mel King was a creature of habit.
There was a specific sort of choreography to her life beyond the chaos of the Emergency Department. A carefully controlled routine, a color-coded calendar, a rigid set of rituals that kept her grounded enough to keep showing up day after day, to keep on doing the work that was required of her to save lives.
Everything was going fine for Mel. Her personal life was predictable, unexciting, and perfectly fulfilling, thank you very much.
Enter Frank Langdon, agent of chaos.

Summary
“No more,” Greez says, ragged voice choked with desperation. “Please, Cal. Please. You comfort everyone except yourself, kid, and I can’t keep watching this.” He’s crying. Greez is crying. He reaches out, a warm hand resting atop Cal’s head. “I have to help you. Let me help.”
Cal struggles to cope in the aftermath.
