Summary
"Once a year, like a bad zombie movie, a shambling mass of dead-eyed day-shifters drag themselves to the PTMC an hour early to be lectured on hospital policies and standards.
It seems almost counterintuitive that people who agreed to years of extra school just to reach residency would consider a lecture to be one of the worst days of the year, but alas, such is the power of hospital administration, cursed be their names."
OR
It's HR policy day and Frank is looking forward to having a normal time, playing footsie with Mel and not taking any notes. Hopefully there aren't any surprise questions that force him into the hot seat...

Summary
"That was Prime Minister Thatcher. Personally.”
“What could she possibly need?”
If the rude interruption during his bath wasn’t enough to ruin his night, what Gerald shares with him next certainly is: “She wants to dine at Penscombe. In a week’s time.”
or, Rupert hires Taggie to cater a very important dinner for the PM. She needs plenty of time to prepare the menu and work with his staff — it just makes sense for her to stay the week at Penscombe. What could go wrong?

Summary
Mel traced idle patterns on his forearm and Frank watched her face in the low light, memorising it in ways he didn't yet have language for.
"Do you think we'll remember this the same way?" Mel asked quietly, twisting her lips in thought.
He remained quiet for a moment, taking a deep breath and exhaling it. "I think we'll remember it differently," he admitted. "But I think we'll both remember it as important."
She nodded, satisfied with that.

Mel and Frank meet at a summer emergency medicine internship programme and the rest is history.

Summary
'Is that how you see me? As a girl?'
'You don't want to know how I see you,' he says with a dark smile. His eyes roam her face, his jaw tightens.
'Why?' she presses.
'Because,' he says, his hand sliding to cup the back of her neck, 'you won't forgive me for the thoughts I have about you. Because,' he murmurs, leaning closer so she can feel his breath across her cheek, 'it's not right. You could be my daughter.'
'But I'm not,' she says, swallowing as she feels the stroke of his thumb across her skin.
'No,' he drawls, 'you're really not.'

Summary
“Pineapple on pizza,” he leans on the wall, crossing his arms on his chest as he looks down at her. “Yes or no?”
“No,” she says immediately, wrinkling her nose.
[or: Mel starts undergrad and she thinks it's a little strange that her roommate's boyfriend is always hanging around]
