Summary
The absolute last thing Jack intended to do was get involved with whatever middle-school two-step courting dance Langdon and King had going on. So, of course, he accidentally steps right into it.

Summary
Whatever Langdon and King were doing was between them. Besides, reporting them to HR seemed like a big pile of unnecessary paperwork she didn’t have the time or energy to fill out.
Or: Five times Mel and Frank's colleagues turned a blind eye to their relationship and the one time they didn't

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
They were friends.
And yeah, maybe the ring on his finger sort of burned when he looked at her sometimes, even though it was just for show, now.
It was just easier to let her keep thinking he was still married to Abby. Safer.
It raised less eyebrows about the nature of their friendship when the ring stayed on while he was at work, the weight on his finger reminding him not to say or do anything stupid.
It also made it a little less creepy when the pet names started slipping out.

Summary
“Those the same hands we let you operate in the ER with, Whittaker?”
Frank’s voice cuts through the din, not exactly booming but stern and authoritative. The group clams up as Frank deposits the two cocktails for Samira and Trinity on the table, out of the way of the beer spillage.
“I asked you a question.”
“I - uh - it was —“
“You need to watch what you’re doing. Someone could have gotten seriously hurt.” His tone is dripping in hostility and poor Whittaker wilts under the scorn. Santos’ mouth twists unpleasantly and she takes a deep breath like she’s revving up to go toe to toe with Frank. “I mean, seriously, what were you thinking —“
“Frank,” Mel interjects, if only to stop the shouting match that is about to erupt.
Frank turns to her, the tension leaving his face all at once. He studies her in that clinical way of his, scanning her body from head to toe, making his own mental diagnosis of what’s wrong and how to fix it. “Let’s get you cleaned up, yeah?”
Or, Frank is an asshole to everyone. Except when it comes to Mel. And Mel likes that.

Summary
Her thoughts are as follows: If Subject A (Mel) shows signs of discomfort, Subject B (Frank) will try to help, and vice versa. Therefore, if A is in need of a replacement for an article of clothing, B will do his best to provide A with one.
It’s shaky logic, all things considered, but it’s enough.
All that’s left is for Mel to put her hypothesis to the test.
Or: Mel can’t stop stealing Frank’s clothes. It’s becoming quite the problem.

Summary
When he finds the courage to leave the comfort of her steam shrouded bathroom, he makes his way out to the living room.
He stops in his tracks when he hears her, a fond smile etching onto his face.
He’s careful to disguise his footsteps on the vinyl floor, not wanting her to stop. He was rapidly beginning to realize he could listen to her sing forever.
She flits around the kitchen, alternating between humming and singing along to whatever music played in her ear, and all Frank can do is watch.
“Oh!” She says with a jolt when she finally notices him, “Frank! How are you feeling? I made spaghetti…spaghetti’s okay, right?”
“Yeah.” He nodded, “Yeah, spaghetti’s okay.”
She shuffles out of the kitchen a few moments later with two bowls in tow, “We can sit at the table, the couch…whatever you’re most comfortable with. If you want we can put something on the TV, that’s what Becca usually likes to do…”
“I like when you sing.” He can’t stop the words from coming, and he doesn’t regret them one bit when he watches her face change shades if only slightly.
“Oh.”

Summary
"Didn’t make any friends during orientation?”
She laughed- then stopped abruptly because that was actually not a joke. “Um…no. I don’t make friends easily.”
She waited for him to look at her with pity, or offer false reassurances. He looked mildly contemplative instead. “I think most people’s ‘friends’ are actually just acquaintances, anyway.”
Mel blinked. “You think so?”
“It’s important to remember that most people are bullshitting you like…at least sixty percent of the time.”
Mel wasn’t sure if this extended to him. If it did, would he tell her? Probably not.

Summary
It was six in the morning, and Jesse had slipped to his locker to dig out the pack of American Spirits he’d bought a couple months ago and tucked away for these exact moments. If he was going to spend 24 hours at work, what were a couple cigarettes going to do? Go big or go home, he supposed, as he leaned against the wall of the ambulance bay and fought against the cheap, finicky Bic lighter that had sat for so long it had collected dust. He sighed contentedly after the first long inhale, a rare indulgence he only allowed himself sporadically, and allowed the cool brick to take on his weight just as he caught sight of Mel approaching. “Early day, Doctor King?”

Summary
go home, loser.
She doesn’t feel like giving him a hard time right now, truly, but she’s hoping if she’s casual, maybe he’ll magically think everything is okay and actually go the fuck home.
A ding.
u send her out to me and i’ll put in my fucking two weeks notice.
She stares at her phone helplessly, then looks back to Robby.
“Fuck,” he barks out. “Fuck. Fine, I’ll…I’ll go figure something out.”
He turns on his heel and starts walking towards the cops.
Her phone dings one more time.
where’s mel.
(or, mel gets taken hostage in the ed. it changes trinity santos' entire worldview.)
