Summary
“Melissa King.”
He heard Mel huff, pretending to be annoyed. “You know, if it was anyone else saying that, I would think I was in trouble.”
“Yeah, I know. Now are you gonna come to the park with us or not?”
Frank could almost picture the crease between Mel’s eyebrows, that cute little look she got when she was uncertain or confused. It would be nice if she joined them–after all, it was a beautiful day, and although he definitely had it under control wrangling the kids all week, he couldn’t deny that he wouldn’t mind a little company.
Maybe more specifically, in the form of a certain blonde doctor who always managed to brighten his day no matter how shitty things were. Who always managed to command his attention every time she entered a room.

Summary
Mel scoffed, pretending to be offended. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Frank laughed then, loud and joyful, before glancing back at Mel. The light turned green then, and Frank pressed down on the gas to follow the car in front of them through the intersection.
“Are you–?”
“Frank!” Mel gasped as she caught a glimpse of something careening towards them.
He shot a quick glance to his left, throwing an arm out in front of her, faster than she’d ever seen him move. “Shi-”
Then Mel heard a deafening crunch and a crashing sound, and everything went black.

He wondered what she liked to do in her free time, and that’s when Frank promptly stopped himself before falling into a rabbit hole.
He didn’t even know anything about her. He was supposed to be focusing on himself, not becoming fixated on the first pretty girl who caught his eye.
She probably had a boyfriend, anyway.
or, post-divorce Frank noticing a cute girl at his new gym.

Summary
“It’s kinda stupid, but Abby always liked the clean shaved look,” he explains, “and we’ve been separated for months now and I just wanted to try No Shave November for the first time.”
“Well it looks good on you,” she says before she can stop herself.
“Does it?” he says, brightening considerably. “Abby always hated it—made me shave it off immediately.”
“I think it’s nice,” she remarks, eyes roving over his face. She’s not sure what about it is so enticing, but there’s just something about Frank’s square jaw, his chin dimple, his dark brows, even his bright blue eyes, that stand out more with the addition of the coarse hair along his jawline, around his mouth.
She wonders what it feels like.
Or, Mel shows up to work with a ponytail, and Frank shows up to work with stubble and both of them lose their damn minds over it :)

Summary
They’re in such a hurry to leave they both miss Whitaker asking, “Do you think they remember we were at their wedding?”
“Nope,” Trinity says, amused expression turning to one of disgust as she watches Langdon’s hand slip down to Mel’s ass when he leans in to whisper in her ear. “Do you think they had sex?”
"Definitely."
Mel wakes up in a stranger's bed with a wedding ring on her finger and no memory of the night before.
Except her new husband isn't a stranger at all. It's Dr Langdon.
