Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

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.

Summary
“If you stare any harder,” a voice says, startling Frank where he stands leaning against the charge desk with his arms tightly folded across his chest. “You’re gonna burn a hole through the back of Dr. Miller’s head.”
He glances over at Dana, where the charge nurse mirrors his position, and emits a soft grunt in response.
It wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Summary
“I’m—we’re glad you’re back.” She smiled, adjusting her stethoscope against her neck. I’m glad you’re back, is what he knows she was going to say. It tugs at his chest. Knowing there was a person in this emergency department that he didn’t destroy his entire reputation with made him a little bit less anxious about today. Even if said person only knew him for exactly one whole shift.
Frank Langdon is very normal about Mel King.
