Summary
"Becca is having sex," Mel says, in a small voice that's very different from the one she'd just been using a few minutes ago. It takes a second for him to process, surprise wracking his thought process.
Langdon coughs. "Did she tell you that?"
"Yes."
"Is that what has you upset?" Langdon tries to speak in a measured tone, weighing out each word with as much care as he can. He leans forward a little, focused on the rim of Mel's glasses.
Or: Langdon and Mel talk after Becca's reveal.

Summary
“Then you guys came in and he took off.” She nodded, folding her hands tightly in her lap, indicating that she was done talking.
“How’s your head, by the way,” Officer Freeman asked, when she’d finished writing.
“Dr. Langdon checked me out.” She said. He’d sat quietly next to her, listening intently. He sat a little straighter when she mentioned his name.
“She’ll be okay, long term. One hell of a goose egg, though. And I’ll be monitoring her for any signs of an incoming migraine. Light sensitivity, nausea, that sort of thing.” He said. She looked up at the ceiling, counting the tiles. She was ready for this conversation to be over. She hoped they wouldn’t mention going to court again, “Look at her. Rolling her eyes at me. Doctors are the worst patients.” He continued.
“I’m not rolling my eyes-“ She began to protest, before catching the smile on his face. He was teasing her. Ok. Now she did feel like rolling her eyes. They asked her more questions, about his injury, her treatment of it, the severity of it. Unfortunately he probably wouldn’t need to seek medical attention elsewhere. Eventually, they stopped asking questions, closed their notebooks and stood.
