Summary
"The kitchen cabinet is covered in stains. They aren’t clear from standing, blended into the grain, but on the floor the odd marks and splatters are obvious, little memories ground into the wood.
The door hangs at an odd angle now, half open, only hinged at the bottom. A sticky red-brown wetness stains the outside corner, running over the other marks.
Her heartbeat matches a throbbing deep in her skull, blood sluggishly dripping from her temple. Mel can track its path down her face like a second skin, tight and itchy."
Or
Mel tries to pull herself together after she's home during a burglary and is caught in the crossfire. Frank finds her in the wreckage and makes that his job instead

Summary
"I think it’s not about other people’s trust in you. It’s more about if you trust yourself.”
Frank trusts himself with a lot of things—saving a patient’s life, taking care of his kids, calling someone when he’s craving benzos. But with Mel? She’s so rare, so precious. How could he ever trust himself with that?

Summary
"Significant pulmonary contusion and multiple rib fractures, and there's very likely a subdural hematoma in there too,” Garcia says grimly, sounding like she's citing it to herself rather than to anyone else in the room. “We’re lucky it's most probably small, but given her fluctuating GCS it still concerns me quite a bit. Also, besides the shard of metal, the bruising and swelling along her abdomen suggests the possibility of internal bleeding as well, but we need to get in the OR to fully evaluate the severity of it."
“Jesus King,” he murmurs. “You were supposed to have the day off.”
or: there's a car accident on mel's day off. she ends up at the pitt anyways.
