Summary
Frank Langdon is worried about Mel. She has a lot on her shoulders and doesn't know how to ask for help. He decides that he can help her by giving her moments outside of work where she's just having fun, not taking care of anyone. Mel sees this as a bid for friendship and happily accepts.
Eventually real friendship blossoms between them, then something more.
__
Langdon is separated from the very beginning, just wearing his wedding ring at first to avoid questions or pity at work. He is not immediately looking for love or to get over Abby; it sneaks up on him.

Summary
If Frank had ever thought about it before, which he hadn't, he’d probably conclude he likes physical touch about as much as the average person does.
It’s not like he minds it when people touch him, especially since he’s kind of oblivious about personal space. He often ends up brushing up against people or dropping a hand to a shoulder or bumping into someone in the Pitt, and he doesn’t tend to think twice about it beyond a quick apology when needed.
(And maybe he does some of that on purpose, when it comes to one coworker in particular, but again, this isn’t something Frank has ever thought about, so he definitely doesn’t dwell on what that means.)

Summary
“So listen,” Robby says, “I heard you’ve uh, well, that you’re living with Dr. King. Is there any truth to that statement?”
Frank groans.
“Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”
or: frank gets out of rehab, gets divorced, and needs somewhere to live. enter mel.

Summary
Frank was here. At a speed dating event. Which meant that he’d spent his evening sitting across from a dozen other women, looking for the same thing she was - a relationship.
The realization made her stomach sink. For months now, she’d been telling herself there was a reason Frank hadn’t made a move. Maybe he wasn’t ready after the divorce. Maybe he wasn’t even interested in dating at all - maybe he was too busy with work and the kids to even think about it. But he was here, which meant none of those things were true.
Frank wanted a relationship - just not with her.

Summary
Abby knows she’s not finding love on Love Island. It’s six weeks. She’s here to find a career: the seed money to start her own PR firm and the (hopefully) massive following that’ll have future clients salivating to have. And, of course, have a little fun while she does it.
She will not get stuck in her first couple, but America will know her as discerningly loyal. The key, she figured, was going to be finding someone smart enough (or dopey enough, she supposed) to do this with her. He’ll need to be devastating and charming, without being swarmy. He’ll need to -
Someone taps on the tinted window. It’s show time.
---------
Where Mel's entrance into Casa Amor throws a wrench into Abby's (almost) flawless plan to win Love Island.

The crinkle at the bridge of his nose indicated confusion. The way his lips turned down as he searched the room for something, or someone, else. The unfamiliarity in his eyes. All of it combined into an expression that made her heart sink.

Summary
One year after his return to the PTMC, if you asked Frank Langdon what his plans were going to be for a week in July, he probably would not have predicted he'd be spending it vacationing with his colleagues at a campground somewhere in the Poconos. But it's not just the weather that's heating up and making him sweat... his relationship with Mel King is on the verge of becoming something else entirely.

Summary
Mel understood how conception occurred. She understood how to prevent it, though the knowledge had never been personally relevant before. She knew it was unwise to have unprotected sex with someone if you didn’t know both partners were negative for STIs and if you weren’t willing to risk pregnancy.
But nothing had been wise about fucking Dr. Langdon in the bathroom of the ED.
It was only a few weeks later when Mel realized her period was six days late. It didn’t take a genius or special medical training to make a likely diagnosis.

Summary
These feelings were new, equally terrifying and intoxicating. This must be what others felt when they encountered their favorite celebrity. Perhaps due to her own thoughts over the last year, Langdon had become a pseudo-celebrity in his own way. To her, at least.
What surprised her was that warm, stinging feeling that she had grown so used to avoiding. Years of overachieving in order to prove herself to everyone she met had allowed her to outrun it. Mel was envious. And maybe a little obsessed. She couldn’t understand exactly why, the whiplash of the last ten minutes still taking a toll on her psyche.
She already had a thousand new feelings to unpack tonight when she got home, what difference does two more make?
