Mel Abbott has such potential with her working in the VA- his past as a soldier. The fact Mel is the one who started the blood drive during the MCI and Abbot donated on the fly while working - the only two you focus on with regards to donations like ??? It’s THERE
honestly he's just so soft-spoken but stern and would openly praise her when she's doing a good job and i just know he'd reassure her when she doubts herself that i just built this solely on i wanted him to talk her through it
BUT yes you bring up some extra points anon. the va thing is soooo good i need them bonding esp her info-dumping on ptsd or massages best for amputees or relaxing techniques for anxiety and him just like yes. ALSO idk i can picture him so clearly putting his hand on her lower back to guide her or let her know he's there that i need to go lay down about it.
