    Summary

    “Sorry, I– I wanted to return it but I kept getting pulled into different cases and I couldn’t find you and when I did you weren’t alone and I thought it would be awkward for you if I returned it front of someone else so I’ve been holding on to it and I’m really sorry it took me all day, I swear I didn’t–”

    “Breathe,” he reminds her, cutting her off with a calm voice and gentle smile in the face her distress. “It’s okay, don’t worry about it.” Poor thing, he thought, she really thought I’d be mad at her over a silly little ring?

    Or

    On a scale of 1 to 10, how illegal is it to let a woman you are not married to touch your wedding ring?

    Summary

    After two years in Pittsburgh, Mel’s ready for a serious relationship. Frank would love nothing more than to be that guy for her except he’s six months out from his second relapse and trying to do things right this time around. When Mel brings her new flame to the ED’s holiday party, Frank’s possessiveness gets the best of him, and it only gets worse from there.

    Summary

    They were friends.

    And yeah, maybe the ring on his finger sort of burned when he looked at her sometimes, even though it was just for show, now.

    It was just easier to let her keep thinking he was still married to Abby. Safer.

    It raised less eyebrows about the nature of their friendship when the ring stayed on while he was at work, the weight on his finger reminding him not to say or do anything stupid.

    It also made it a little less creepy when the pet names started slipping out.

    Summary

    And then Santos says — because of course she does, of course they would, of course it’s her fault — “And Langdon would be awful in bed, of course.” Mel blinks.

    She somehow hadn’t expected them to get to Langdon, although she acknowledges it’s quite ridiculous of her to not have seen it coming considering the list of male coworkers they were rapidly striking. It’s just — well, Langdon isn’t exactly just a coworker to her, but also a friend. Someone she sends medical memes to and facetimes and watches bad movies on her couch to decompress, someone who pays for her coffee when she’s not looking and talks her down from the egde of a spiral and has met Becca. He’s — He’s Frank to her, and it’s weird to— talk about him that way. Extremely inappropriate, beyond what HR demands.

    Still, Mel thinks she should defend his honor, and notes, “I think you might be letting your biases influence your judgment.”

    or mel can't stop thinking about how frank's like in bed, and decides she should really just ask him
