    Summary

    “I didn’t know you smoke,” he says, breaking the silence. “You seem too sensible, a model doctor and all that,” Mel turns her head to look at him, small smile on her face. “I think you’re plenty sensible too, but here you are,” Frank lets out a chuckle at that. Being with her made him feel the opposite of sensible, but she didn’t need to know that.
    Or
    Five times Frank and Mel smoke a cigarette together, and one time they decide not to.

    Summary

    “Frank Langdon, are you cheating on your wife with the new R2?” Robby asked him bluntly, not even trying to disguise the disappointment in his eyes.

    Then Frank did the absolute last thing he should have done. He burst into laughter.

    “Is this funny to you?” Robby almost growled, “you have a wife and kids at home! A wife who delayed medical school to have your kids and you go and cheat on her with someone you knew from medical school? That’s fucked up, man.”

    Frank stood ramrod straight and shook his head furiously. “No, no, no!” he protested. “That is one hundred percent not what is happening. Mel is my wife. My only wife,” he clarified unnecessarily.

    Robby’s anger simmered, his eyes now furrowed in confusion. “I thought your wife’s name was Abby?”

    Frank’s face filled with horror. His face turning pale. It was then he realised that he’d fucked up. He fucked up so bad. Like a generationally bad fuck up.

    AKA the one where a family inside joke leads to the entire Pitt Crew thinking that Frank is cheating on his wife with, well…his actual wife.

    Summary

    “Did you know that hugs lasting longer than 20 seconds trigger the release of oxytocin in the brain?” Mel blurts out, and her mouth is moving before her mind can catch up. “Which is— It’s the same neurotransmitter released during orgasm, childbirth, laughter, and, um… A few other things.”

    (or: a prickly new first-year brings down mel's spirits. langdon helps.)

    Summary

    Langdon won’t look at Robby. The walls keep closing in, of the room, of his life. Maybe he deserves it, but the claustrophobia of his every minute movement being surveilled and scrutinized, of being jerked around like a dog on a cruel master’s leash, is starting to make him feel insane.

    It was supposed to be a good day, a fresh start. He thinks he might really throw up.

    or, robby pushes langdon to the breaking point. later, mel is looking for a place to be alone and finds langdon instead.
