Summary
She stared down at his picture on her phone in confusion. Like it was a bomb she'd been given only seconds to diffuse. She could handle a cricothyrotomy or a spinal tap, but Mel had trained for neither bombs nor online dating.
She panicked.
(Mel finds out about Frank's divorce via his Tinder profile because they're both trying to distract themselves from their crushes)

Summary
He doesn’t know why he does it, says, “Let me,” and gestures for her to turn around. He thinks she’ll wave him off, tell him not to worry, that she can do it herself.
But she doesn’t.
She turns around so her back is to him, and he takes a step closer, reaching up to grab onto her braid, slowly sliding the hair tie off.
He puts it on his wrist, next to the one he already has on, and the plait almost falls apart on its own, but he can’t help putting his hands in her hair, undoing the braid and running his fingers through the strands gently.
“There you go,” he says quietly once her hair is loose around her shoulders.
She sighs and leans into him, her back against his chest, and tilts her head to rest on his shoulder.

Summary
“I just kept thinking ‘I’m going to die and I've never had a foot-popping kiss.’” She says quietly, rocking on her toes a little.
Frank does a small laugh. “What the hell is a ‘foot-popping’ kiss?” He says.
Or, Mel King almost dies. So she has to be kissed by Frank Langdon. Frank Langdon almost watched her die. So he has to be kissed by Mel King.
