Summary
Loving Mel is strikingly different from loving Abby, as much as he hates himself for even making the comparison. She had been keeping herself and her sister afloat for years through college and medical school, all while maintaining a bright attitude that drew him to her in the first place. She was grounded enough in reality for him to know that she was not wholly innocent, but there was a brilliant allure to the way she interacted with the world despite knowing how cruel it could be. Her polite exterior was mistaken far too often for fragility, even though she may be the toughest person that he has ever met.
When he takes care of her, he knows that it is only because she has allowed him to, not because she expects him to. There is a difference between those notions.

Summary
“I like science. More bio than anything, but chem can be cool, too.”
Frank’s eyes brightened, and his whole body turned towards her. “Shit, me too! I’m starting to look into options for undergrad, and I’m definitely thinking pre-med. Are you?”
It baffled her how he could sit there in a room that wasn't his, covered in marks of violence, and still think about the future. For her, the future had slipped out of her grasp the night she and Becca had shown up here.
“I…was. Yeah. I thought it would be cool to be a doctor.”
“Not anymore?”
“No, it would still be cool, but..” she gestured around her, because she was standing in a room that wasn’t hers, in a house that wasn’t hers. Always out of place, since that night.
Frank huffed. “Can’t let this stuff take you out of the running. My dad gave it a red hot go, sure, but now he’s gonna be locked up for ages, and I’m still gonna be a fucking doctor. Joke's on him.”
Or: Mel and Frank meet fifteen years before the Pitt, in a group home, during the worst year of both their lives. This is proof that they fall in love in every timeline.

She wants a washing machine."

Summary
“I have five days,” she said slowly, like she was trying to hear how it sounded out loud, “to make someone fall in love with me.”
“Mmm, I wouldn’t phrase it like that.”
“How would you phrase it?”
He thought for a second. “You have five days to… let something happen. And maybe fall in love in the process.”
Mel let out a sharp breath. “That’s not better.”
or - the one where Mel dies without ever having fallen in love. enter one sympathetic afterlife liaison: five days, one second chance, and Frank Langdon, who sees her more clearly than anyone ever has.
