    Summary

    What Mel wants, if she’s honest, is very simple: to not be on the floor, to be close to Dr. Langdon again, and to be as far from a lawsuit as possible. Preferably in some distant future where all of these problems are ancient history, and she no longer has an aching feeling when she remembers them.

    Or; Mel hits her head and wakes up in the future, a little too close to her wish.

    Summary

    “Um.” Mel looked down. “I still don’t know what everyone’s talking about. Honestly. That’s just how he looks at me.”

    Diana’s eyebrows shot up. “You’re saying he looks at you like that often?”

    Mel rolled her head. “I mean, we work together a lot. Maybe I’m not seeing what other people are seeing because to me, that’s just… how he looks.” She glanced at Langdon, who was looking at her the same way he always did, and for some reason, it made the feather dance that time, and she had to look away.
    ----
    When a Tiktok of an after hours save goes viral for their undeniable chemistry, Mel King and Frank Langdon are thrust into the spotlight and asked to do a publicity tour to help fundraise. Mel finds it increasingly difficult to keep her feelings for her happily married colleague under wraps in interviews, but Frank’s been keeping a secret that millions of people are about to learn before she does.

    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.
