    Summary

    Mel King is a responsible person.

    She picks up her dry cleaning on time, waters her plants on schedule, and never lets a bag of spinach turn to slime in her fridge. She takes care of herself, her sister, and the people of Pittsburg. So, when it comes to advice, she always says the right thing:
    "do not drunk text your ex", "do not rebound with a fling on Tinder", and "never, ever, date your coworkers".

    Mel King is a hypocrite.

    Summary

    Frank huffed, setting the mug down. “How many times are we going to have to go over this, Mel? I like listening to you talk. I’m not just being nice. We’re friends.”

    “It’s important to ask,” she said, still watching him carefully. “Because sometimes people say they want to know something but they don’t actually mean that they do. They’re just being polite. And it’s hard for me to tell that, always.”

    “I’ll tell you what,” he suggested. “Let’s make this easy. With me, you never have to ask. Consider it my… blanket approval, I guess.”

    He pointed to himself. “I, Frank Langdon, am interested in what you have to say.”

    Summary

    “Wait, this guy was asking what you like to do outside of work?” Santos asks, as both her and Javadi creep closer to her, suddenly very interested in what she has to say.

    “I mean, yeah,” she says, confused again. “He was trying to be nice, I think. His stitches were taking awhile because I kept getting interrupted and he was making conversation to…show…”

    She trails off when she sees how both women are staring at her.

    “What?”

    “Mel,” Santos says. “He was flirting with you.”

    (or, a reflection on renaissance fairs, and if they are dorky or not.)

    Summary

    he's put in place three rules for himself since returning to the emergency department: be transparent when handling drugs, spend as much time with mel as possible, and stay out of trinity santos' business.

    he doesn't mean to break rule three. he really doesn't.

    (or, mel and santos try to be friends. it doesn't go as well as they had hoped.)
