    Summary

    Trinity smirked. “Personally I think you can do better, Mel.”

    “Because he’s married?”

    “Because he sucks.”

     

     

    Or, five times that Mel was honest with other people and one time someone was honest with her.

    Summary

    “You should get back home to your wife,” she says carefully, slowly, like it’s a reprimand she doesn’t trust him to register as one unless she draws attention to it.

    He pretends he didn’t hear her.

    It’s only later, at the bus stop, that a firm sense of certainty washes over Frank for the first time in a very long time. He’d gotten it all wrong. Mel clearly has someone else to preoccupy herself with. It was embarrassing, really, to assume she would want a fuck up like him. At that moment, like the punctuation to some cosmic joke, the wedding ring he’s been fingering absentmindedly slips off his finger and skitters around in a circle between his feet. He crouches down to pick it back up as the last bus home flies past. He half wishes it had hit him; it probably would have hurt less than the realisation that he has feelings for Mel King, and she doesn’t feel the same way.

    OR

    Frank Langdon is certain that Mel King has a crush on him, until he's not. He then spends the Winter trying and failing to avoid her, setting and breaking rules of engagement, and trying to keep it all a secret from his wife.

    Summary

    Becca listened with monk-like solemnity, seeming to consider all of the details, until she delivered her verdict: “Frank didn’t have his ring on, though.”
    “What?”
    “The last time we saw him. He didn’t have his ring on.”


    Frank Langdon might be getting divorced. Melissa King might be in love with him.

    Summary

    The laugh that escapes Langdon is quiet but real, and somehow that’s enough to make the irritation melting in Mel’s chest feel even more annoying.

    Because just like that, the anger—or embarrassment, or overwhelm, or whatever this thing between them is supposed to be—starts dissolving around the edges.

    It drives her insane how quickly he can do that to her.

    Mel narrows her eyes at him.

    “Don’t laugh at my jokes,” she says flatly. “I’m still mad at you.”

    Or, Mel and Langdon get stuck in an elevator.

    Summary

    A decade ago, the answer would have slipped from Mel King’s lips without a second thought. But looking back at the wreckage of her past, she no longer has a simple answer. Armed with strict medical algorithms and a flawless professional mask, Mel has built a quiet life treating the traumas of strangers to avoid facing her own.

    But tonight is about to become the worst shift of her career. Amidst the sterile chaos of a crowded ER, a critically injured patient is wheeled through the double doors. He is broken, bloody, and clutching her wrist with an agonizingly familiar grip.

    Ten years of running, ten years of silence, and Mel is suddenly staring into the eyes of her patient—and her greatest nightmare: her father.
