    Summary

    When he boards the elevator he’s upset. By the time he leaves the elevator he’s angry, each reverberation of his feet hitting asphalt felt in the remaining bones and surgical grade titanium in his right leg, all the way up to his hip. It takes him less than sixty seconds to walk from the parking deck to the ambulance bay. Ten feet from the entrance, he sees Robby walk through the first set of doors, past Ahmad, and then through the second set of doors. His pulse roars in his ears, his heart pounding in his chest. For the first time in years, Jack Abbot feels something approximating rage, an emotion he has long assumed to be medicated out of him.

    His hands furl into fists.

    ++

    Robby commits the critical error of making Samira cry. Jack reacts.

    Summary

    “—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”

    Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.

    “Frank, why would we move in together?”

    “I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”

    “Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”

    At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”

    What.

     

    Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
    Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.

    Summary

    Mel was mystified. She'd never even met Frank. 'You don't know him. You've never met-' She stopped head. Mel had been trying to get them together. Since his return to the Pitt post rehab he'd become one of her closest friends. Best friend even. Several times she'd tried to get them together. Frank had been really excited. But Becca had either other plans or been sick when she'd tried.
