Summary
“Mel, honey, you have to put her down,” Frank says to her, his tone as soothing as he can muster. His hand is on the small of her back. He hasn’t let go of her since this nightmare began.
She’s standing beside the warmer in Pedes, their one-month-old daughter tucked to her chest, burning up and screaming. Dana and Robby are looking at her, worry creased into their features. They have been looking at her like this, like she is a feral animal, since she and Frank came in through the ED door ten minutes earlier, Frank running ahead to tell someone, anyone, that their newborn has a one hundred point six degree fever.
or
Mel and Langdon's one month old daughter spikes a fever and they head to The Pitt for help.

Summary
“Think you’ll ever get married again?”
The question came from Abbot, directed straight to Frank alone. The smug smirk on Abbot’s face as he stared across the table at Frank made that clear. That and the fact that Frank was the only person at the table who had been married before, besides Abbot himself.
It should have been a throwaway question.
Yet there was a right and wrong answer to this question.

Summary
“Did you know that the ten minutes before the countdown on New Years Eve is statistically the quietest time in emergency departments across the country?”
Frank had been back at the Pitt for 6 months, and in that time Mel and Frank had fallen into an easy friendship. She would parrot facts about procedures and drug trials and new developments in medical technology to him and Frank would listen, because he could listen to her talk about anything.
“I don’t think that’s true,” Frank said about this particular factoid, thinking about the chaos below them that they were both distinctly avoiding.

Summary
Six months after Langdon comes back from rehab, Mel is seven minutes late to work.
It’s not like he was waiting for her (he was). He didn’t even know what time she was supposed to be on for her mid shift, not really (he did). He just happened to be charting and see her walk in at 10:07 am, and he knows that no shift schedule Dana has ever gotten her hands on would schedule someone to start at seven past the hour. If it was anyone else, he wouldn’t think anything of it. But Mel has a thing about punctuality that he’s pretty sure it would take a lot for her to abandon, so… seven minutes.
He’s trying his best to log out of the computer without looking frantic so that he can casually — nonchalantly, even — walk over to ask her what’s wrong, but Santos gets there first.
“There’s a guy in south three, keeps asking for you — is he your ex or something?”
Or: Mel has never had a boyfriend. Langdon wants to change that.
