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.

Summary
Her eyes met his once more, trying to get a read on him- he assumed. Her eyebrow raised in question like she was skeptical of his reaction. “Well, I was hoping to use an actual person, so it would mainly be you sitting in a chair in front of me, facing my camera…” He nodded quickly in acknowledgment. “As I run my fingers through your hair, recording all the sounds.”
His bravado dropped instantly. “My sounds?”
A perplexed expression on her face, she spoke nervously. “What sounds?”
If she thought she was running her slender fingers through his hair and expecting him to NOT moan, she really didn’t know what was headed her way. Her blush deepened on her cheeks as her eyes dropped to her feet.

Summary
“Are you worried about getting eaten by a bear?” Langdon asked, glancing at her.
“I’m actually more worried about you getting eaten by a bear,” Mel said. “And then me having to tell your wife and kids that I just stood by and watched it happen because I don’t know how to fight a bear. You’re not supposed to fight grizzlies, but I don’t think we’d see one of those here unless it’s really lost, or got loose from the zoo. And black bears, I know you’re supposed to try to stand tall and then find a weapon, but I’m not very tall, and I don’t always have good aim. I mean, sometimes I do, but if I’m trying to fight off a bear, I don’t think I’ll be able to throw very straight.”
Langdon’s head rolled as he listened. “You won’t have to tell my wife and kids that I was eaten by a bear, Mel.”
“You don’t know that,” she said.
“I promise.”

Summary
"Is this what you want?" Mel asked, eyes searching his face so urgently he could barely track them.
Frank sighed, stretching out his neck and closing his eyes. "It's what she wants—"
"You, Frank," Mel interrupted. "I don't care about Abby. What do you want?"
He wet his lips, rubbing them together as he watched her sit with a hand on the door, ready to leave the car at any given moment. Then, he nodded. "Yeah," he said simply. "I want this."
She shook her head, gathering her bag from by her feet and pushing the door open. "Then have it," she said, forcing herself out. "Just don't expect me to watch."

Summary
"Hey, Mel," he offered her, his voice weak. Mel tilted her head to one side. For just a moment, the shadows of the ambulance bay cast a darkness over his left eye like a bruise.
"Hey, Frankie," she whispered.
Frank Langdon looked down at his feet, shaking his head slowly. Mel found herself walking over to him before she had even decided to move. They stood alone, together in the silent bay.
"No one's called me that in… a very long time."
An alternate universe in which 12-year-old Melissa King meets a strange boy in the woods behind her home. Over the course of the carefree summer they spend together, the unlikely friends begin to realize that they needed one another more than they knew. When late August takes a dark turn and the two are separated, seemingly for good, it takes many years and a surprise reunion before the old friends fully understand just how much they changed one another's lives.

"If it ever happened," Frank murmured, so soft only she could hear, "you know l'd take care of you, right?"
Her breath hitched, her lips parting just slightly. "What would you do?"

"Mel?" Abby repeated him, "Why would she want to do that?"
Something in Frank bristled at that.

“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.

Summary
“I don’t really like being called Melatonin. It feels very impersonal, and seems to imply that I’m tired or need to sleep, which I don’t, and when I do, I don’t really need the reminder. It’s also longer than my name, so it doesn’t make much sense as a nickname.”
Trinity straightened up, a little unsure of what to do. A tinge of hurt burned in her chest at Mel not liking the nickname, but … there was also something kind of hot about her finally standing up for herself?
