Summary
“I swear I’ve mentioned Alex before,” Mel murmurs, frowning down at her phone, still not clocking how she’s short-circuited Frank’s brain. It's a blue screen of death up there. Hi, you’ve reached Dr. Frank Langdon. I’m not available to talk right now, but leave a message, and I might get back to you. Beeeeeep.
The picture continues to shine cheerily up at them, silently mocking Frank. He forces himself to look away and swallows with difficulty. “I think I'd remember if you'd told me about your ‘best friend’ who you ‘used to be in love with.’”

Summary
He’s also afraid he’s been too obvious about it. About the crush he’s had on Mel since he returned a year ago. Everything had felt so new that first day back, like the world was opening itself up to him for the first time again. New and scary and overwhelming, and right in the center of it was Mel, anchoring him, he anchoring her. And ever since, Frank thinks he’s been halfway in love with her, through divorce finalization and sobriety milestones, and now this.

Summary
“It would be ideal if I didn’t have to… participate, too much. I don’t want to feel like I'm acting. Or putting on a show. But you could call me whenever you wanted, and you could just…” Mel gestured vaguely to her lap, pleased with herself. “You could just use me.”
Dr. Langdon put his forehead on the steering wheel. “Oh my god,” he muttered. “I am going straight to hell.”

Summary
"Mel likes to think that she’s got her head on straight.
She’s been planning commutes and balancing budgets and organizing home aides since she was twenty. If Mel wants something, she makes it happen. Or convinces herself that she doesn’t need it. But there’s one thing, one golden exception to her system, that Mel can’t help dreaming about.
She wants a washing machine."
OR
Mel spends her Wednesdays trapped in a laundromat because her building doesn't have a machine. Frank decides laundry is more of a team sport

Summary
“Dennis,” Mel remarks, "I liked it. I would like it sober. I haven’t been touched by a non-patient in so long, so it was…it was nice.”
“...Me too. Last week a patient tried to choke me and I leaned in because I thought he was giving me a hug.”
Mel hums, partly understanding, partly amused. “I’d take my chances too.”
Both Dennis and Mel have seemingly hopeless crushes on their senior colleagues and decide to do something about their pent up feelings—With each other, of course.
