Summary
Frank Langdon should not be touching Mel King like this.
Jesus, this was a bad idea.
But it was just a strap. And then her clavicles. And then his fingertips and nails along her arms, lightly grazing the raised goosebumps forming on her skin. Her body’s reaction to his touch was like a drug. He hoped she couldn’t feel his body’s response. Fuck, he wanted to touch her more.
No. That was it. It had to be. He was not going to ruin this moment. She would never be able to see him the same if he did that, and he needed Mel King not to hate him like grass needed the sun. She was his last refuge in a world that would not forgive him.

OR: When the world keeps finding reasons to kick them when they're down, Mel King and Frank Langdon find each other again and again.OR: Frank Langdon, stop giving that girl rides home.

FRANK LANGDON: Probably
FRANK LANGDON: But what this time?Mel sent him a picture of her laptop screen.
MEL KING: THIS. YOU DID THIS.
FRANK LANGDON: Well don’t they look like they’re having fun?
MEL KING: OMG
FRANK LANGDON: 😇
MEL KING: THEY WON’T STOP.
FRANK LANGDON: Don’t make them stop!Queen Mel may be pregnant!
Mel yelled into her closed fists and scrambled back, pushing the laptop away from her. No, no. Queen Mel could absolutely not be pregnant. She still had to get to the top of the gardening career and she had to write 5 books and she hadn’t even –
FRANK LANGDON: Btw
FRANK LANGDON: Jealous?---
OR: Mel plays The Sims. Someone installed a mod she hasn't used before. Now she can't stop picturing it every time she looks at him. He thinks it's funny. A little harmless flirting never hurt anyone, right?

Summary
When he finds the courage to leave the comfort of her steam shrouded bathroom, he makes his way out to the living room.
He stops in his tracks when he hears her, a fond smile etching onto his face.
He’s careful to disguise his footsteps on the vinyl floor, not wanting her to stop. He was rapidly beginning to realize he could listen to her sing forever.
She flits around the kitchen, alternating between humming and singing along to whatever music played in her ear, and all Frank can do is watch.
“Oh!” She says with a jolt when she finally notices him, “Frank! How are you feeling? I made spaghetti…spaghetti’s okay, right?”
“Yeah.” He nodded, “Yeah, spaghetti’s okay.”
She shuffles out of the kitchen a few moments later with two bowls in tow, “We can sit at the table, the couch…whatever you’re most comfortable with. If you want we can put something on the TV, that’s what Becca usually likes to do…”
“I like when you sing.” He can’t stop the words from coming, and he doesn’t regret them one bit when he watches her face change shades if only slightly.
“Oh.”

Summary
“I’m jealous.” It escapes before she can let herself back out, “That my sister has a sex life, and I don’t.”
She doesn’t know why she’s admitting that to him. She honestly doesn’t. It’s embarrassing.
“Right there with you.” His voice is low, “How long–?”
She chews at the bottom of her lip, doing the mental math, “Three years…You?”
“Thirteen months.”
Warmth pools in between her legs, and she clutches his hand like it’s a lifeline.
It’s barely a whisper, she’s so afraid to say it,
“Close the trunk.”
---
“Wait, holy shit, King–” The wand stills inside of her as Trinity freezes the frame.
“What?” She asks, “God, it didn’t nick something, did it? I’m not about to bleed to death?”
“No, but you might pass out.” Trinity answers, “Maybe?”
“What is it?” She tries to sit up, but Trinity’s already turning the ultrasound monitor around to show her.
Her heart stills as she takes in the tiny flickering heartbeat on the screen in front of her, “Oh–”
