    “That’s Abby? Jesus, Langdon. I didn’t know you had a type.”

    “What?”

    “You know everyone calls Mel your work wife, right? It’s fucked up. Have you seen how she looks at you?”

    "Do you want to talk about it?" Frank asked, two or three hours later.

    Mel paused, fingers hovering over an iPad. "My peanut allergy in South 6?"

    Summary

    “I think I need some air,” he sheepishly chuckled, wiping the blood from his arm onto his shirt, gesturing to the mess on the floor like it was an insignificant accident, the occupational hazard of being at a bar, not a clear indication that something had gone horribly wrong. “Care to join me?”

    “Uhm,” Mel said, “sure.”

    But a voice behind her said at the same moment, “Nah.”

    Mel’s head whipped around. Frank had a tight frown on his face, his arms were crossed against his chest, and he walked towards them, his eyes squarely on Cole.

     

    Mel runs into an old patient from the VA while the PTMC crew is out at a bar celebrating Dana’s birthday. It’s a welcome distraction from Abby Langdon until he gets too drunk. Frank intervenes.

    Langdon’s never said anything about liking Mel. That doesn’t mean he isn’t thinking about it.

    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.

    smile on my face all way through!!

    “I love you too.” He replied, nearly choking, like the words had been punched out of him. Then he said it again, just to feel it twice: “I love you too.”

    (Frank had been telling Mel he loved her for the past four weeks, which had already been an enormous show of restraint on his part. It was only the “too” part that was new. And it felt glorious.)
