Summary
The Trauma Room floor was a mess of gloves, paper gowns and blood, scuffed by shoes.
Langdon breathed out long and hard. He knocked his fist against Trinity’s outstretched one.
“Good work,” he said. “That was a good catch.”
He’d let Trinity do the chest tube, let her call the shots. It was part of teaching, his ED education fellowship had told him. It was about letting the bird fly free, but knowing exactly what to do if they plummeted towards the ground.
It had been long enough that he knew Trinity was no longer the plummeting type.
“Thanks,” she said, and it didn’t even sound forced.
-
Langdon and Trinity are friends. Best friends. It has been a long road to this point: here is a week in their lives.

Summary
“Mel, I don’t want to drag you out of your life to fit you into mine. I want us to fit with each other. I’m not scared of your mess.”
“I’m not scared of yours,” she replied. “I want—I want to be there in it with you. One mess, a shared mess. You and me.”
His smile made her heart clench. “You and me,” he said. Then he blinked, and there was something like awe in his eyes. “You’re choosing me, aren’t you?”
“Of course I am,” Mel replied. “I want to. I want to care about you. I want be there for you, and love you, on purpose.”
-
Mel has spent the year thinking that Langdon is dating someone else, which turned out to be categorically false. Now, they get to navigate something of their own.

Summary
“Ladies and gentlemen of the board,” she said, and Whitaker, the only person on the sofa in their apartment, looked around as if he wasn’t supposed to be alone. “In March, we started Operation: Kingdon, a nice little portmanteau I worked up of 'King' and 'Langdon'.”
“I actually figured that out by myself,” Whitaker commented.
Trinity lifted a hand, silencing him. “No questions until after the feature presentation.”
“In Part One of this Operation, we locked them in a cupboard. While in there, they discussed who would get cannibalised first. While this seemed to be a failed mission, they did then attend a fair together that weekend. One could assume, Operation: Kingdon led to this major advancement of their relationship.”
-
Trinity Santos wants Langdon and Mel to date each other. Frank Langdon also wants Langdon and Mel to date each other, but on a vastly different timeline and without Santos' input. He does not get what he wants.

Summary
“We’re like socks, you know?” she asked, looking up at him.
Dennis was pretty drunk, to be honest, but Trinity was drunker. He blinked down at her.
“I don’t know what that means.”
“We’re socks. You and me. Matching pair.”
Dennis blinked. “Like soulmates?”
Trinity laughed. “Like soulmates,” she agreed. “But socks.”

Dennis Whitaker has been there since the very first night Langdon and Santos started getting along. He has been there for a lot of moments since.

Summary
See, he knew, was the thing. He knew. He knew the minute he heard the screaming, because he knew that screaming. Maybe all children’s screams sounded the same to everyone else, but he knew his kids.
He knew what it sounded like when they were scared, or alone, or upset.
Robby, rolling the gurney, said, “Isn’t this—”
And Dana, nearby, said, “Aren’t they—”
And Abby, with a head injury and a crushed leg and lacerations covering her face and arms and chest cried, “Robby? Robby you have to find Frank, you have to—”
Langdon ran, because what else was he going to do.
-
In February, Abby Langdon's car gets t-boned; Trinity Santos meets Frank Langdon's children for the first time; and Frank Langdon has a real bad day.

Summary
When Loid adopted Anya and they became the Forgers, he made sure that the families with the surnames Williams, Levski, Klein, and Roche that were most likely to adopt were either no longer in Berlint or at least lived in or worked on the other side of the city. For the ones that were too close for his liking, he made sure to keep Anya away from any neighborhoods or establishments that would increase the chance of a run-in. In a city of almost 1.3 million people, there was a very small chance that the Forgers would run into any of them by happenstance. It was such a small chance that Loid had discounted the possibility after doing the math.
Perhaps that chance hadn’t been small enough.
