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
This is something cigarettes and alcohol can’t touch. This is better than benzos. Mel is uppers, fucking ecstasy, methamphetamine coursing through his bloodstream.
Frank Langdon trades one addiction for another.

Mel turns to him. He’s looking at her like—well, she’s never been very good with metaphors. He’s looking at her with desperation.

Bookmarker's Notes
frank learns how to make croissants. they both get to feel a little less lonely for a bit. WANTS WANTS WANTS.
//
There’s a pause, then, “I don’t mean just that. Say the word, and I’ll do anything you want.”
He's speaking so lowly that Mel hears his words through the rumble of his chest more than his mouth. They vibrate through her, right to her heart. She can feel the words on the tip of her tongue, pushing their way out of her mouth. Leave her, leave her, leave her.

Summary
The car pooling, she thought, represented this blurring of boundaries: not quite work but not quite personal life, either. If somebody asked her if she ever saw Langdon outside of the hospital, what should she say?
Mel and Langdon car pool to work.

so exceptional for so many reasons, not the least of which is ch 4 when robby observes them in their car habitat !!!
