    Summary

    It’s an awful day.

    Mel doesn’t know exactly why she gets like this, but sometimes her senses are just dialed up to a thousand, and the fluorescent lights and frantic sounds of the E.D. make her want to vomit. (Well, they always a little bit make her want to vomit, but sometimes they make her actually pretty sure she’s going to have to run to the bathroom and vomit).

    That’s bad enough, but then sometimes, she gets a patient who notices she’s a little off and wants to personally inform her of their feelings about it.

    ~~~

    A patient takes issue with Mel. Langdon is there.

    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

    “This is in no way an accusation,” Robby says, stroking his beard with a thumb and a forefinger. He’s steeling himself for discomfort in a way that makes Frank want to turn heel and walk back out of this conversation entirely. “Consider it a fact-finding mission. No more, no less. Even if the answer is affirmative. But—is there anything I need to know about your relationship with Dr. King?”

    Summary

    Mel’s third-favorite scene in Dirty Dancing is only a second long. It’s when Johnny jumps off the stage during the final dance and flips his head up right on cue with the singer crooning “Hey, baby!”

    So it was very distracting that, for the rest of the day after her karaoke session with Myrna, Frank had been quietly singing those two words to her every time they ran into each other. A “Hey baby!” when he slid into the chair next to her in the breakroom. Another when they met in the middle both jogging to an ambulance.

    She couldn’t help but laugh every time he did it which, knowing Frank, meant he’d probably do it tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.
