    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.

    Summary

    The absolute last thing Jack intended to do was get involved with whatever middle-school two-step courting dance Langdon and King had going on. So, of course, he accidentally steps right into it.

    Summary

    Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group.

    There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little.

    There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline.

    (It doesn't.)

    Summary

    “I swear I’ve mentioned Alex before,” Mel murmurs, frowning down at her phone, still not clocking how she’s short-circuited Frank’s brain. It's a blue screen of death up there. Hi, you’ve reached Dr. Frank Langdon. I’m not available to talk right now, but leave a message, and I might get back to you. Beeeeeep.

    The picture continues to shine cheerily up at them, silently mocking Frank. He forces himself to look away and swallows with difficulty. “I think I'd remember if you'd told me about your ‘best friend’ who you ‘used to be in love with.’”

    Summary

    He’s also afraid he’s been too obvious about it. About the crush he’s had on Mel since he returned a year ago. Everything had felt so new that first day back, like the world was opening itself up to him for the first time again. New and scary and overwhelming, and right in the center of it was Mel, anchoring him, he anchoring her. And ever since, Frank thinks he’s been halfway in love with her, through divorce finalization and sobriety milestones, and now this.
