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

    “What?”

    "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.

    I don’t think you’d ever hurt me, she told him–the unspoken implication being, of course, that everyone else thinks he would.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He doesn’t see her later. In fact, he avoids her almost completely for the rest of the week, volunteering for a shift in triage purgatory and trading for an overnight that leaves him groggy and mean. He tells himself it’s for the best–the whole situation was getting weird, clearly, and Frank has been letting it happen because he’s starved for positive attention and there’s literally nothing else going on in his life, but enough is enough. They’re coworkers; he’s her supervisor, technically. This is his entire fucking career.
